Corporate America may be bumping up against the limit of its power to keep raising prices as consumers in some markets cry uncle.

“Even though we’re pushing through pricing, the consumer is tolerating it well,” he said in October analyst call.

    I do get a craving for McDonalds fries that I give into probably once or twice per year. Usually I’ll get a Big Mac combo, or a couple McMenu sandwiches. The other surprising factor aside from the absurd price is how mediocre the flavour has gotten. While it was never culinary art, it somehow tastes even less like food than I remember just years ago.

    I’m disappointed every time.

      Maybe it’s not that McDonalds tastes less like food but you just go used to eating proper food instead and your palate changed?

      It probably hasn’t changed a whole lot over the years, it’s just that the cravings make it sound so much better until you have it again. I’m the same with KFC, I get massive cravings and remember how good it was last time, then when I get it I end up regretting it and being disappointed, then the cycle happens again

      Tho that’s my personal experience yours could differ

      We lose taste buds over time, so probably nothing tastes as good as it used to. 😉

      A relative lost most of his taste during Corona. Good thing though, he can eat food so spicy that everyone else falls into pain coma.
