McDonald’s has now decided that
KFC’s take out family chicken dinners is too much competition. Although they
are probably not losing customers to the KFC franchise, McDonald’s cannot bare
to be even slightly below in their billion-dollar a year operation. Let’s give
a big round of applause to the the Blitz Box! A wonderful,
mouthwatering, drool-inducing, crave-able dinner for the whole family to enjoy;
all for the questionably low price of $14.99. This
monster of fat and grease meal includes two Quarter Pounders with cheese, two medium
french fries, and 20 Chicken McNuggets.
Pick your jaw up off the floor, people are
staring.
However, unfortunately for now my friends, only
those who live or visit Kansas City, Missouri can relish in this fast food
feast, for this is only a test run for the fast food king. McDonald’s wants to
make sure that the meal of fast-food century is a product worth selling.
Craving McDonald’s burgers yet?
Tragically it appears that due to the drought on beef supply the McDonald's
$1 burger is causing the empire trouble. I am actually shocked because I think
most of us can agree that most of that burger is possibly not beef. Moreover McDonald’s is currently struggling to keep their value menu
a value, as food price inflation has made items on the Dollar Menu less
profitable according to reports from Leslie Patton at Bloomberg News.
Why is this important?
McDonald’s is part of America’s popular culture as about 10%
of Americans visit McDonald’s per day. Now with a new family package, will this
innovation create more consequences to our country’s overweight and obesity
rate or are we already in too deep to notice any significant changes? Or are we passed trying to change?
An interesting post. As fatty and unhealthy as fast food already is, the size of that meal box is almost disturbing. I guess it is to be expected that such large corporations as McDonalds would come up with any crazy product and imitate competitors (despite how ridiculous the thing being copied could potentially be) just for a profit. And the advertisements obviously are not featuring real food, either.
