McDonalds has a multinational presence, along with taking regional pricing into account (meaning the prices of food items differ and adjusted based on GDP per capita), like a Big Mac is $6 before tax while the same is $2 in another country.
The menu is different by country (certain menu items are only available in that region, like how Japan has burgers with teriyaki sauce or rice buns) along with the menu being around ¥1500 for a tray while the same is $40 in the US.
I mean, have you tried McDonalds overseas? If so, is it cheaper when you consider regional pricing and what item do you wish was available at US McDonalds but only remains in that country? Is McDonalds in other countries better or worse?
My ex went to McDonald’s when we went traveling overseas (yes really), so I can say I’ve (unfortunately) had McDonald’s in Australia, Paris, Hong Kong, and Japan.
Australia was the worst. Paris and Hong Kong were ok, but the menu was weird. Japan was actually good. Though… maybe it was skill issue, but the menu was completely impossible. So I ended up just begging the cashier for a ham-bo-ga, please God just any hamboga I’m so hungry.
Is Australian McDonald’s overpriced for it being bad? I’ve tried it once and not worth the price (also, beetroot on burgers is quite bizarre).
I liked the veggie burger when it existed. But nowadays any burger you get will look like it was prepared with a blindfold and briefly sat on. Like imagine a dry patty on a flat greasy bun, decorated with a single pickle, and spattered with
cummayonnaise.Back when I was younger and willing to inflict fast food on my digestive system, I went to Carl’s Jr if I did want a burger. Similar price and actually a decent meal. Plus the chicken nuggets are star shaped and the kids loved that. I’m curious if there’s a similar experience in the states? All I know is if I visit North America I want to try an “In & Out Burger”, I’ve heard they’re good.
