      Well, it kind of is an experiment on how to sell the least food for the most money while still retaining your customers. I get mcds is cheap and available but just look at the burgers he prepares the most, they're usually just a patty with some mao yo and cheese between two buns and the whole thing is very small, and not filling. Im sure you can buy a decent burger for not so much more money

    • @StelznerGaming
      @StelznerGaming 5 місяців тому

      It's actually the opposite that has always been the key to McDonald's success. Sell the most food (pump the most out the door) for the least amount of money(food cost). You can go to a sit down restaurant and get a higher quality burger for around the same price of course. But not even close to in 3 minutes or less. @@matiastripaldi406

Also, I wonder how this is any different from before, whether you put the onions on when they come off the grill or during burger construction, because either way the onions aren’t being grilled/cooked.

      Have you ever seen a dealer break apart a block to distribute it to the A-Town crackheads.

    What if someone asks for extra onions? How do they get a few more grilled onions to add?

    Just had the new big Mac and it was amazing! The grilled onions on the patties, the melted cheese, and extra Mac sauce made it 10 times better!

      Are the onions actually grilled? In the video it looked like most of them never actually made contact with the grill.

      Tastes like a shitty white castle slider. WAY too much onion flavor.
