Oak Brook, Ill. -- McDonald's Corp. is testing modifications to its popular $1 double cheeseburger, and higher prices for the sandwich, as it prepares to change its Dollar Menu by next year.

In an interview, Don Thompson, president of McDonald's U.S. business, said the company has tested ways to make the burger less expensive to make.

Not the Dollar Menu!

Cut the buns in half? Use smaller patties like they do at White Castle?

3 dollars for

2 double cheeseburgers only ketchup and pickles
1 medium fry (they made it to small fry sometime last year)
1 small drink (I got for free cause I was a student)

Think I'll be switching (slowly) to Taco Bell after McDonald's crumbles. Taco bell has 89 cent burritos.

Great job WSJ, report on Double Cheesburger's instead of shit that actually matters.

"THIS JUST IN!!! RECESSION THREATENS CHEESEBURGER!!! NEW STUDY SHOWS THAT 90% OF AMERICANS WILL BE AFFECTED BY RISING MCDONALDS PRICES!"

Meanwhile WSJ does squat to actually report on why we're having a recession in the first place ie: inflation. Fuck you Murdoch

Dudes, Microwavable spicy chicken chow mein (there's a packet of vegetable-stuff in it too!) from Wal-Mart ~$.90 and it could kick a double cheeseburger's ass up and down the street!

I like the idea of the Tera Bite Cafe which has a voluntary pay system.

here in colorado (i'm not sure if they do it in other citys or what) but everytime the rockies score 7 or more runs in a game (doesn't matter if its home or away, and its for everyone in colorado, not just those attending the game) its four tacos for a dollar the next day. thats an awesome deal and happens suprisingly very frequently

there is no such thing as 99 cent anything it's a 1.39!!!1 so does that mean we get 99 cents food soon WOOOOHOOOOO sarcasm

Another Washington store? My god, I've been researching Washington for so long and been wanting to move there. I swear that I see & hear things about Washington all the time.

Another reason to move there I guess.

I refuse to eat McD's ever since I saw "The World According To Monsanto"
And now that Janice L. Fields is on the Monsanto Board, there is now way I will eat a McSanto Burger And HMO fries. Not willingly anyway.

This is really no big deal. Just wait till they implement the Amero menu.

 

[IRO-bot]

I believe they are only going to use one slice of cheese instead of two? Something like that.

 

[ladyjade3]

Double cheeseburgers at McD's are WAY undervalued. If they were a stock they'd be a BUYBUYBUY!

 

[MRoCkEd]

and if you want chicken nuggets always get off the dollar menu
ordering 12 nuggets (3 of the fourpacks) is cheaper than a tenpack
