Sneaky Ways Fast Food Restaurants Get You To Spend Money
the thing is you shouldn't be spending based on your wallet but based on what's good for you. If you only listen to your wallet, you'll end up that with more but at the cost of your health. And that point you might aswell just go to the grocery store, you will get more and most times more healthy food than anything at a fast food.
If anyone makes their own burger at home, you wouldn't just eat it on its own. 🍔 You'd need something with it.
So, it's not really a trick getting you to buy a combo
Advertising trick or not, if I'm hungry I don't go into McDonald's for 1 burger and nothing else.
Just like if I make my own burger at home, I'd never make 1 burger and not have anything with it. 🤷♂️
They're not getting me to spend more by having combos, as I'd be getting sides anyway.
$1,200 average spend every year? sigh, In 2024 it’s more like every 3 months
I sometimes go to places like that to grab a bite but I never buy combos. I just always buy a coffee because it is the cheaper there than in every other restaurant and maybe roll or something else that is healthier than most of the options

Would you like fries with that? Uh ok. How about a hot apple pie? Alright. Dang it those city slickers fooled me again!
Five years later this still true.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
One bigmac meal 14-15€ when i used to get one for 5€
And now I’m craving nuggets at 11pm
Only fast food left is Costco food court
Why am I watching this, when I’m broke for this month?! God damn it, YouTube recommendations!
Look bruh, plain and simple, they put a crap ton of addictive additives into fast foods. The fda is a joke because there isn't any real oversight into them poisioning us. Like dude, the content yt pushes out is a laughing psyops. The sad part is, in america we have if say 90%of the pop could care less they are being poisoned… they just keep eating it up. I got to get my family the hell out of America
Watching this in 2024.. ouch
Well this is ironic.
yesterday, on way home from doctor , my friend and i were going eat after the lab work. i thought our local pa and pa family for BLT and salad was 8.00 it was 12.00! so we went to culvers got kids portion butter burger , soda and FREE ice cream, 7.00! today we went Mexican lunch specaial that was 2 enchaladas and rice 8.99! BOTH culvers kiddie meal w ice cream and FULL plate lunch combo was CHEEPER than the family meal of a sandwich w a side of soup or salad. prices are out outrageous . it shows the mexican was CHEEPER than the family restaurant AND about save as culvers . As well as culvers and OR mexican restaurant was CHEEPER that the dumpy fast food. FOR SAME price as MC D you can go to culvers or a family restaurant
Just don't buy a useless soda with every meal lmao, the biggest waste/trap ever
Fast food joints should offer a 'spending stamina' stat on their menus. Like, 'Congratulations! You've reached level 99 in spending. Now, do you really need that extra large fries for the final boss battle against hunger?
McDonalds be like : Big the better
Greed ruines everything! If only we human could surpass greed, whole world would be a Utopia.
"Would you like fries with that?"
If I wanted fries, I would have ordered f*cking fries.
Was that a large? Would you like fries with that? Is that all for today?
Ahh the days when fast food cost $6 you’ll never see that again
first its expensive, than its healthy food is expensive and fast food is the economical option. BULLSHIT! Fast food is convenient for lazy people who don't wanna cook.
You basically have to use the apps to really get an affordable price. Luckily I am not in the city and can get a bogo sandwhich at a lot of places and if you just get a water they generally dont charge for that (if its not in a bottle) and you can usually get out the door for $5 with this and not be hungry.
They can’t trick me if I’m on a diet
