Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

You can bet McDonald's is doing horribly whenever they bring out a limited product or do a celebrity deal.
They've done mcrib, celeb deal, Minecraft movie promo, and now chicken strips are back.
Yeah. Red flags. They're desperate.
Their current '2nd item for $1' is an ok deal right now. But this makes me think that won't last.
2 sausage muffins and 2 hash browns for like $7. Throw some hot picante salsa on there and you have deal. Without that deal? It's like $13.
Yeah but how many years ago was it that an order of hash browns used to have two?? They’re just “giving a deal” on what used to be the baseline.
Oh I'm not disagreeing. It's shit.
But even without the has browns, two sausage muffins for ~$3.50 is solid. It's what I expect.
Sadly it's the bottom barrel best deal going.
That actually is solid, I might even consider it as that was my go to breakfast item back in the day!
Yep! Adding a hashbriwn to each for ~$2.50 + $1.00 more is what makes it ~$7.
And for two sausage, hash brown, spicy salsa and cheese muffins? I mean damn.
But yeahz seeing all these promos makes me know this is in the cutting block.
They even stopped selling McHash in Sweden like over a year ago. The only thing that I'd have any desire to eat from their breakfast menu, and they kill it. I even asked their support why they killed it, and I got no real explanation.
I thought that it's maybe to be able to clean out their deep fryer? Nah, as they still sell normal french fries during breakfast!
I think the McRib is just dependent on pork prices.
Nope.
Is this an American thing? In Japan and Singapore, they have seasonal limited specials every month or so. It's not really a "when they're doing badly" kinda thing.
