Online Concern About McDonald's Prices

Scroll social media just about any time of the day and you'll surely run across someone who has a beef with fast food prices. It's understandable as customers are hit hard while chains try to offset costs.

McDonald's, in particular, has become a favorite target among those with super-sized complaints regarding the cost of a meal out.

Earlier this year, several TikTok videos surfaced from people claiming the McDonald's Filet-O-Fish sandwich had gotten smaller. McDonald's has since denied the claim.

A couple months later, a viral post on X (formerly Twitter) lamented about the current cost of breakfast at McDonald's.

The latest from Business Insider gives merit to some of the concerns over the rising cost of McDonald's food. The outlet reported the McDouble sandwich alone has seen a 168% price increase in the past 10 years.
