McDonald's are increasing the price of the 99p cheeseburger for the first time in 14 years.

It is now going to be £1.19 how will we ever cope with this catastrophic cost of living crisis now!

I can't remember the last time I went in a McDonald's (a few decades probably) but did they really sell a cheeseburger for 99p?? That seems very cheap.

Have done for the past 14 years, before that a classic cheese burger was 89p, when I worked in McDonald's during my uni years, they were 79p if I remember correctly, growing up in the 80s they were 50p or so.

It melts so no they cant.

If my happy meal price goes up they are dead go me.

Most of the menu is going up by 10-20p which I would assume includes the happy meal.

Can you imagine the crap that is in a burger you can sell for 99p.

People really need to research what they are letting their body cope with.

Umm McDonalds beef pattys are 100% beef. No additives, preservatives etc etc.

It's a legal requirement for any product that contains 2 or more ingredients to list them.

That's fair, it's easy to criticise. I'm sure it's not the best quality or the buns are that good, but you can't accuse them of the meat not being genuine beef.

It's probably got cow testicles in there somewhere but hey its still 100% beef. Meanwhile the healthy option they keep pushing (McPlant) contains over 20 ingredients and multiple artifical flavours/preservatives.
