McDonald’s new ‘McValue’ menu? More like a slap in the face disguised as a deal. Foodies on Reddit are calling it out for what it really is—a bait-and-switch scam that insults anyone paying attention.
A Reddit user lit the match on this fiery backlash, pointing out there’s nothing new about this so-called ‘McValue’ menu. “The meal deals, the buy one get one for $1, the ‘free medium fries every Friday with a $1 purchase’—my store’s had this for months,” they fumed. “Is this just rebranding? What a joke.”
And the internet was ready to pile on. “They’re pretending this is a revolutionary new menu,” one commenter raged, “but it’s the same deals they’ve already had, just with higher starting prices. Higher! Who are they fooling?” Another added, “They better start ACTUALLY giving us deals before they lose customers for life. This is insulting.”
Even McDonald’s employees jumped into the fray, exposing how the so-called deals are anything but. “You’re paying $1.50 more for six nuggets and small fries now. How do you call that a ‘deal’? It’s highway robbery,” one worker blasted.
But wait—McDonald’s has an explanation. Or at least one overly optimistic Reddit user does. Apparently, some stores might have skipped a system update, making the ‘McValue’ menu look stale. “The only new thing,” they guessed, “is the buy one, add one for $1. They just removed the 2 for $3 breakfast and the $3.50 bundle.”
So, let’s get this straight: they rebranded old deals, hiked up the prices, and took away other offers we actually liked? Brilliant strategy, McDonald’s. Nothing says “value” like charging more for less.
