The depletion of the Dollar Menu at McDonald's
This is a pretty upsetting trend that has been happening for the past few years, particularly in Manhattan. I've sort of ignored it since I rarely eat fast food now, but I was craving a McChicken sandwich today (since my lunch from home looked so unappetizing... roast beef and cheese on wheat, if you care) only to go to the McDonald's "restaurant" at 56th and 8th to discover that the McChicken was almost $3 there! What the hell!
This location's "Dollar Menu" consisted of three pathetic items: the parfait (yuck), two apple pies (who orders this?), and something else that I don't remember (but was probably unappealing if I can't remember it). Pretty sad. To their credit, at least this location HAD a Dollar Menu. Some don't even have any! But Dollar Menus used to consist of tons of items! Small fries, cheeseburgers, McChicken sandwiches, small drinks, fajitas, ice cream cones, etc. In high school, my friends and I would shun the Value Meals in favor of a $1 drink, $1 fries, and $1 McChicken. And it was gosh darn wonderful. Now, small fries are like $1.39 (so was the cheeseburger). That stupid McChicken (which I obviously bought anyway) was $2.-something. Even the gosh darn HAMBURGER (who buys McDonald's hamburgers?) was $1.29!
Anyway. I refuse to blame this on regular inflation. Instead, I choose to blame the terrorists who are infringing on our God-given rights for even the poorest Americans to get fat. I mean, honestly! $1.29 for a HAMBURGER?
:-P
I'm still mad about the McChicken.

You don't know how angry I am for you. How can they even call that a dollar menu? They should be ASHAMED of themselves. ASHAMED!!!
That's why Wendys is so great. Always dependable. Their dollar menu never changes. Jr. bacon cheeseburger, nuggets and chili! (or baked potato) is my fail-proof meal! - Lucy
