@jackyan not that well in #Germany tho.

#KFC was always overpriced and closes shops i. #Germany because a bucket if greasy chicken for the price of multiple complete menus ain't selling.

And #McDonalds "#AppWalling" and "#LoginWalling" their #Coupons and #SpechalOffer|s is cutting into their revenue when #Döner and #Dürüm have a better price/performance ratio. Why buy a #BigMac when you can get a full menue that fills you up for less?

The weirdest thing I've seen are #MgSpaghetti in the #Philipines which baffles me to this day cuz they have so much nice, delicious and cheap food and then they want soggy, sticky noodles with tasteless sauce?

  • I mean it's not even cheap food by comparison!!!

I've been saying this for a long time. If we are going to eat meat (especially beef), it should be expensive and a special treat -- not an everyday occurrence!

The End of the #CheapBurger

#FastFood chains might be dangling deals, but #MeatEaters better prepare for a new, more expensive era for America’s favorite food.

September 26, 2024

"Most of us remember 2020 for the pandemic, but ranchers will also remember it for the severe drought. When pasture for herds to graze grows harder to come by, ranchers send animals to slaughter without replacing them, shrinking herds and sending prices up. 2024’s rainfall has been better, but parts of the country are still not out of the woods. Even as the costs of feed for cattle has declined, higher interest rates and operating expenses have meant that it’s still too pricey for most ranchers to get back to growing their herds, or 'rebuilding' them, in industry parlance. So the number of cattle continues to fall, and the price of beef will continue to rise."

@Blickwinkel wahrscheinlich aver auch weil #Skalierungseffekte durch Mehr #Angebot und mehr #Nachfrage die #Preise für #Fleischalternativen senken und auf Niveau von wortwörtlich #totsubventioniert|em #Fleisch bewegen.

  • Ich bin gewiss kein Verfechter von #FastFood, aber #BurgerKing belohnt mit 10¢ Preisnachlass deren "#PlantBased" Produkte im Vergleich zum Standard, und blind getestet schmeckt es nicht nur gut, sondern der "Plant-Based Long Chicken" schmeckt sogar besser!

Auch entdecken mehr und mehr #Restaurants dass #vegetarisch|e und #vegan|e Optionen was anderes sein müssen als einfach nur "kein Fleisch/tierische Produkte" sondern auf doe Speisekarte gehören!

Another #book on my reading wishlist.

White Burgers, Black Cash
Fast Food from Black Exclusion to Exploitation
By: Naa Oyo A. Kwate

The long and pernicious relationship between #FastFoodRestaurants and the #AfricanAmerican community.

Today, #FastFood is disproportionately located in #BlackNeighborhoods and marketed to #BlackAmericans through targeted #advertising. But throughout much of the 20th century, fast food was developed specifically for White urban and suburban customers, purposefully avoiding Black spaces. In White Burgers, Black Cash, Naa Oyo A. Kwate traces the evolution in fast food from the early 1900s to the present, from its long #history of #RacistExclusion to its current damaging embrace of urban #BlackCommunities.

Fast food has historically been tied to the country’s self-image as the #LandOfOpportunity and is marketed as one of life’s simple pleasures, but a more insidious history lies at the industry’s core. White Burgers, Black Cash investigates the complex trajectory of restaurant locations from a decided commitment to #Whiteness to the #disproportionate densities that characterize Black communities today. Kwate expansively charts fast food’s racial and spatial transformation and centers the cities of #Chicago, #NewYork City, and #WashingtonDC, in a national examination of the biggest brands of today, including #WhiteCastle, #KFC, #BurgerKing, #McDonalds, and more.

Book cover. Collage of 3 vintage, fast food restaurants outdoor scenes in monochrome coloured circles of yellow, red and blue. Text reads: White Burgers, Black Cash Fast Food from Black Exclusion to Exploitation The long and pernicious relationship between fast food restaurants and the African American community Naa Oyo A.

I have kids who are #BloodMouths and sometimes we go to Burger King for a meal. Why? Well, they prefer McDonald's, but Burger King has a plant-based option for me and that means we can all eat there. Today, McDonald's said their Plant Based Burger text in Dallas and San Francisco failed, and they will not be developing it further. So, they will lose out on sales like ours, whatever small part of the market that is. But, #TheWorldIsFullOfBadAccountants and I think most of you know that.

@SpaceLifeForm TBH, all #currency - even antique #metal #coins - is based off #fungibility.

  • That's why #BurgerKing in #Germany accepted #USD and not just #Euro and would happily sell me a Cheeseburger for a $5 note just as with a €5 note ( they only exchanged in Euro but that's beyond the point).

The reason why I can't even buy fries with 5.000 KPW [North Korean Won] has nothing to do with North Korea, but entirely with the fact that noone wants that money.

  • And that fungibility is why the #USD is even relevant and why the #Euro is stable: Because you can actualy buy shit with it.

#Gold, #Silver, #Platinum and even #Copper are not only inconvenient beyond small sums because they weight a lot but because their value sometimes fluctuates harder than #Monero and with the exception of Copper there had been Mass #Confiscations aka. state-based #theft of these per law.

So if you want to sell me on some #RareMetal #investment scheme: Please fuck off!

If not, disregard the last sentence...

Thanks.

#FunFact When you go to #BurgerKing, they'll ask you what size meal you want - medium or large, but despite the fact that the price you see on the menu is for the SMALL meal, the BK employee is only allowed to ask whether you want medium or large.

He said that it's on instruction from the corporate office and that he's been reprimanded for asking people if they want small, medium or large.

Is it just me or is that a #DeceptiveBusinessPractice?
