they estimate my facial biometric data to be worth about a mcchicken and coke

@halva thats like 5usd over here

@theking @halva at least pre-2022 and when it was still called mcdonalds it would cost approx. ⅕ of that. No clue about now

@theking 2 Euro 🙏 😭

@halva the meal im thinking of includes 4 nuggets :p

@halva but damn, 2 euro is 2.35 usd, thts so cheap….

@theking that’s like 2.70 euro here

(not a combo meal though, those only have salad or french fries when you’re buying a chicken burger)

@halva i think i should move to europe /hj

i would if i could :/

@theking fwiw it’s just russia specifically being cheap lmao

im pretty sure mcdonalds in most of the eu has comparable prices

@alice @theking

>buy mcdonalds as it's exiting russia >get supply lines and recipes >you only need to change the brand >literally nothing else >it's a perfectly functional business >somehow you create the worst possible brand >raise the prices twofold >people still begrudgingly buy your slop because mcdonalds is a weird cultural staple of sorts

@halva @theking I mean yeah, I can see why they are still buying it. Like, I very much do miss mcdonalds here (it does not exist in armenia, no clue why, every other big fast foos chain does but not mcdonalds), and if you want that kind of food - where are you gonna go? burger king?

(which exists here and every now and then I’d try to get sth from there only to get remindeed that yeah, I very much do miss mcdonalds)

@theking @alice i genuinely want to know how they even came up with this deeply unappetizing combination of colors

@halva @alice burger bun and 2 fries

@theking @halva that’s a very tiny burger

but no, it’s .\ characters

@halva @theking

Добрый Кола

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

@theking @alice the circle thingy is supposed to be sauce iirc

@halva @theking @alice looks like a middle eastern flag

@theking @halva but yeah, that is a lot. I remember frequently going there in uni, a typical cheeseburger+fries+small cola would be like 100 rub total

@alice @theking worst one ive seen was this

@alice @theking surprisingly the least horrible thing there compared it with polish and turkish coke once and they all tasted absolutely identical except for the amount of fizz and sugar

@theking @alice turkish coke was completely bonkers sugar wise though, felt like drinking concentrate lol

@halva @theking idk, for me the only thing that comes to mind is that one

Злой - Чесночный нектар

meme

@theking @halva like I get that it prob tastes fine, but like you don’t just reuse the same branding for juice and cola

@alice @theking грустный картофельный сок

@alice @theking i presume the coca cola company didn’t want to register and market a new brand for their barely disguised subsidiary company

they did the same with Rich, they now sell totally-not-Schweppes under their other juice brand

@alice @theking pepsi have tried pushing a new brand (evervess? something like that) but i literally never see it anywhere but burger king so i don’t think that was a good idea lol

@halva @theking @alice
That shit looks like a fast food brand they'd have in Severance.

@halva this one saw evervess a few times in grocery stores iirc. not sure about fast food chains
