McDonald's Double Cheeseburger Value Meal

After seeing Jackass 3D, I began to drive home when hunger hit me. I began thinking of the restaurant options in the area and settled on McDonalds. I love their Double Cheeseburgers and haven’t had one in five or six months. So I stop by McDonalds and look at the menu – I was tempted by the Big Mac, but the $8 price tag deterred me. I decided to stick with the Double Cheeseburger Value Meal and the employee says “Your total is $5.64.” I’ll admit, I’m kind of cheap when it comes to eating out, but I expected the price to be much lower. I can get $3.99 meals at both Wendy’s and Tim Horton’s and I just assumed McDonalds would offer the same.

The McDonalds was not busy, so I got fries right out of the fryer and burgers right off the grill (Oh, how the size of the patties have shrunk!!). Both tasted excellent! The one thing I don’t like about McDonalds is that once the fries get cold, they taste awful, so I ate them rather quickly. The Double Cheeseburger tasted just like I expected to taste. Regardless of its smaller size, it served the need.

So, despite the increased cost and reduced size, I enjoyed the meal. I don’t visit McDonalds often, but they’ve managed to keep the taste the same, so I’ll probably go back (not for a month or two though).
