Cutting The Cheese

Filed under: Etc.

mickydees.jpg

Looks like you'll be getting less cheese for your cheese at Mickey D's.

McDonald's is weighing whether to yank the popular double cheeseburger from its Dollar Menu because of the high cost of cheese.

Noooooooo!

Some franchises are reportedly selling the double-cheeseburger with one slice of cheese instead of two and calling it a "double hamburger with cheese."

Blasphemy!!!!!

Other franchises have replaced the double cheeseburger on the Dollar Menu with a double hamburger or have raised the price up to $1.10.

If you can't spring the extra few cents, just bring the burger home and put your own cheese on the burger!

McDonald's may also expand its mid-range menu - with food selling for $1.30 to $2 - to keep budget-conscious customers from abandoning the joint altogether.

"We know customers are facing tough times in this economy," said head honcho Don Thompson.

They're so thoughtful!

Times are tough, but you'll still be able to shovel junk into your bods!

    it's NOT McDonalds w/out the use of their gov'ment cheese. If I put my own Kraft or Velveeta singles it totally defeats the purpose of Mickey D's. They need to quit being so damn cheap.

    you can't get a double cheeseburger in new york for a dollar, it costs at least 1.35 i think maybe even more. california has more competition with carls jr. and in and out and better places than mickey d's. but in new york we've been screwed out of the double for years.

    How about cutting it from the menu because McDonald's is one of the reasons America is MORBIDLY OBESE, not to mention the fact that beef farming is one of the leading causes of global warming and eating meat is revolting? I'm just sayin…

    Some, not all, of this economy talk is just a way for companies to raise their prices blaming it on higher food costs. It is bullshit, they want more profit in their pockets. Besides, McDonald's is gross , and after you watch that Spurlock movie Super Size Me, your thoughts change about McD's. Everyone should boycott McDonald's, it will kill you.

  18. Amand says – reply to this

    Yeah, with the increase in cheese prices, it probably costs them 12 cents to make a double cheeseburger instead of 8.

    Dude…..it's not even real cheese - It's just oil and crap. How do you justify raising the price due to the increasing price of dairy when that crap is NOT dairy???

    Man, fuck McD's. None of that shit is real food anyway. It's UNFOOD. Garbage. I should know, I used to work there years ago. You want a real double cheeseburger, go make one at home. Just slap a burger patty on one of those George Foreman grills and in like five minutes you have a well-done burger and you can put as many slices as of your own damn cheese you want and whatever else you want on it! :)

    I think McDonalds is a bunch of assholes. They won't even let you substitute ketch and must with mayo for free, so you have to ask for a mayo packet which is free, bullshit. Their Big Mac is almost the same as a double except 1 slice of cheese, stupid sauce, lettuce, 2 pickles, middle flat piece of bread, and seeds, yawn, but costs 1.5x as much. Sorry no one wants a double hamburger, then they will charge 20 to 30 cents a slice to add cheese, fuck that. Reducing it down to 1 slice, that sucks too. I could maybe handle a 10 cent increase, but if you are gonna raise it up every 6 months that's bs. The double cheeseburger being cheap is the ONLY reason I still even go there. They better think twice before they fuck with the last people still willing to eat their shit!

    we've still got it here in Arkansas, plus the McChicken, sausage mcmuffin, large sweet tea, 2 hash browns, medium fry and the parfait thing. I like the parfaits and the side salads are still a dollar but they don't have tomoatoes, only lettuce and carrots

    mcDs is THE HEALTHIEST fast food restaurant in the nation and is doing more than you know to keep costs down and keep the planet in better shape.

    there is a LEED certified restaurant opening up in Chicago in a week. Tell me what other restaurant is doing that (going green).

    I do not eat McDonalds food but I love their Iced Coffee and Iced tea for that matter. I get an iced coffee there most mornings. Just last week I noticed a fancy new sign. It had all the extra charges for SAUCE on it. If you get a six piece chicken, you get 1 sauce..anymore sauce it like 25 cents..it goes on from there.

    That is CRAP.

  58. 58

    Gross, do all you people really eat McDonalds??? No wonder America is so fat. Get over it, who gives a shit if they use 1 slice of fake cheese or 2?? Might as well slather it on your ass!

    That's just like you Perez, thinking to put your own cheese on your burger when you get home! Sounds like you've been there, done that! Closeted eating disorder? You probably go to Subway too, order lots of veggies on your turkey sammy, get home and add a bunch of cheese, double the meat, smear it with mayo and dip it it ranch dressing. How's your diet treating you?
