Imagine doing that with a Big Mac. Just a pile of lettuce.

Speaking of piles, MCD app offers have been reduced to the same three ($1 fry, 20% off $5, stupid cheeseburger pack) for over a month.

The summer of lame app deals, MCD.

JITB has been mixing up the app deals, nothing so appealing to break my 3+ year JITB drought.

Oh, I miss the cheap jumbo jacks. I'd top them with JITB ranch or bbq sauce from the tub

No BOGO double cheese?? The day that deal leaves my app will be the day I riot.

I think I'd pay a small fee for an app that aggregated deals across brands so I didn't have to check McDs, Wendys, TB, BK etc. individually. Someone build that.

Shitty app deals. Menu reductions. Greedflation. Take your pick.

Habit's got a new spicy, crispy chicken sammish. Based on this photo, I'm not sure how well it'll stand up to the GOAT Popeye's sammich.

yup. stand up as stiff as a drip

let's not gloss over each breast half in that pic coming from a different chicken
you can visually merge the bread and salad together but never the meat

Good eye!

The breads crumb looks too dense to me, plus no idea why they don't have the slaw on the side.

I think I see carrot strips

i've already spent more time on this matter than i care to, and after this i'll stop.

apparently the bun is some concoction of brioche made with flaxseed, commonly used in vegan baking, just as nature intended for a chicken sandwich.

you probably pay a buck-fiddy extra for that slice of cheese only to discover the carrots in the slaw are more important to the experience.

for us all it's time to reconcile what the habit actually is

Nearest Arby's is 25 minutes away, sucks.

I wonder if there's a limit on how many 5x5s you can get. I'd run a 10x10 and stop by MCDs for a $1 large fry.

So much value, but I haven't had an Arby's roast beef in years. I wouldn't put it past them to reduce the amount of beef for the length of the promo

They also don't mention that the sauce in the ad is really pepto bismol and mustard mixed together.

Lol, it’s okay. I prepared my body beforehand by going on a run.

The enchirito is one of my all-time favorites, but that thing destroys you with sodium.

I look forward to lava being an option for all items, as I don’t particularly prefer the taco or burrito as made.

No idea you could still get an Enchirito. Well played all around.

Turned Wendy points into a Dave’s double, was fantastic. Could also apply free fries with any purchase and you can add sauces to fry orders for free lol.

I no longer see it available, so that might have been the last day with the Volcano menu now live.

It looks like they also added back the chipotle and chicken ranch crispy chicken tacos.

Checkers/Rallys is claiming $1 hotdogs all weekend thru 7/3. Doesn't sound like a bad deal, so I go to order via the app. $1.49? Say what? Change locations (for science!), and it's $1.69! Further away, _and_ more expensive? Such a deal!

I may look tomorrow (if I remember) and report back.

Sonic's All American goes for $2.69, so I guess that's not a bad deal, after all.
