You know this story is everywhere recently and got me to thinkin a bit............................Mickey-D's core business seems lost in their current model; namely good burgers / fries quickly and served piping hot. They are all over the place and seem to be playing catch-up with other more modern / trendy joints. The number of items on the menu continues to grow but today a Big Mac costs a whopping $5 ! AND more importantly the taste is gone by the wayside as well.


I know my taste buds have evolved since I was 16 but d@mn! the food is different / worse. I know because I worked at the local MD back in the day as a teenager and something with the burgers have changed. They do not taste 'fresh' anymore. When I say 'fresh' it is from frozen patties, but then fried on the grill top back then. Also the buns seem to have changed too..............for the worse. Today more dry / flaky where years past they were moist / dense.

We have discussed this before but I really do think the quality / taste of their core product is the problem these days. John Q public now rates Mickey-D's as the worst tasting burger compared to their direct competitors. Ouch!
