| LordTheNightKnight said: "That some people think it tastes good enough for what they paid for it doesn't actually mean the food has a basic level of quality. For example, people think they are eating 100% beef burgers where in reality it's nowhere near that, there's hardly any real meat in McDonald's burgers. There's often a difference in what people think is the truth and what really is the truth. In this case, McDonalds' food quality is much lower than most people perceive it to be. You are familiar with the concepts of advertizing and customer manipulation, I hope?" Well then we are using differing definitions of "basic quality". I meant they still are enough to count as burgers and fries. Oh, and I didn't claim they think it tastes good enough. I just stated that a lot of people think the food is worth it for the price, which isn't a lot. Again, if they charged as much as a diner without raising the food quality accordingly, they would go out of business. |
If people would be more educated about what McDonalds food (and many more "non-food") really is, they would go out of business as well. But McDonalds has an excellent marketing department and has built up an near indestructible brand.
