Last month, the head of its US operations formally responded to the complaints with an open letter to customers, saying social media was painting an inaccurate picture.
He said the average price of a Big Mac in the US, which is now $5.29 (£4.11), was up 21% since 2019 - roughly in line with the pace of inflation - and many items had risen by less.
Sure, place the blame on anyone but themselves.
$5.29 is ridiculous for a Big Mac, which is super tiny.

Roughly in line with the terrible inflation of the past 5 years which has been primarily driven by corporate price gouging.
I think you hit the nail on the head there. Even if they were to lower the prices, they’ll just make the fucking burgers even smaller.
Does anyone remember how much bigger the Big Mac was in the 90’s? Shrinkflation is everywhere.
They could always try to lower the quality standards to lower the price. Lmao! Quality standards! As if!
Can’t wait for the McSawdust in 2026!
