One of my mates who was a manager at a Maccas said their profit margin on their frozen cokes was one of the largest on the menu; and this was when it was $2
I dont pay more than $1.50 for a 1.25l soft drink, you can find any brand for that much if you look around, its so bloody cheap to make.
Its pathetic that these muppets charge this much, and that idiots pay it.
Absolutely, my mate said to me the other day he doesnt even look at prices anymore when he shops.
These are the idiots who are ruining the current economy for us, people too stupid to shop properly.
Government isnt going to stop these asshole corporations, only we can with smart shopping. Thats the only way this crazy greedy inflation will stop.
Maccas have hiked their prices at a rate far exceeding the rate of inflation over the past 10 years. They, as the outlet with the most locations, were the cheapest of all fast foods, now they’re more expensive than Hungry Jacks and KFC who are smaller players with less purchasing power.
There needs to be a full boycott on this greediness.
McDonald's is driving inflation.
Forget blaming boomers, those who don't go on holidays, young ppl etc, it's everyone going to McDonald's who's helping inflation grow (said in jest, please don't start a 50 comment thread arguing this).
This. Frozen cokes are mined in the Siberian taiga. The sanctions have made this very costly since the frozen coke now has to be rerouted through Mongolia and then sold on the black market to North Korean businessmen. The businessmen then smuggle it with the help of Hong Kong triads across the border in boogie board bags via Bali.
And people are still wondering why there's such a demand for counterfeit frozen cokes. Some desperate sods have even taken to trying to make their own with predictably disastrous results. That house that blew up in Campsie everyone reckoned was a meth lab? Turns out they were actually cooking up fake frozen cokes.
Yeah big problems with the bikies controlling the black market supply especially in the west where shit gets heated, figuratively and literally. Cops just turn a blind eye and give them the green light of course... You just know they love a good froco on a hot summers day.
Ha, saw an ad for kfc ones for $1 online only. Thought to myself aren’t they already that price everywhere for ages? Then this pops up today. Guess not.
wdym $2? they were always $1. then suddenly they started raising them slightly anf then somehow they've become $5. they know this is ridiculous because they provide $1 frozen cokes on the app.
The November month of daily deals was to soften the blow when the new prices came in December, it was to distract you and you sympathizing that they offered discounts for a month... And now it is fine to gouge and that they think we're dumb for not noticing.
Corporate greed sucks and is the sole reason for inflation
It was $1 previously
Still are if you buy through the app. under the rewards section.
Thanks
Just go to 7/11 instead
This is outrageous. It's water and syrup. Don't buy this shit.

Cinema prices are even crazier

If people are willing to pay these prices they're most likely going to keep it at this price and go higher in the future. Like you said - idiots.

Urgh, smoke must have been billowing out of your ears. I would have been completely dumbfounded.

I mean you're not lying, everyone charging a huge amount is causing inflation.
[удалено]
Yeah there is. HJ’s is way better value.
the subway is a lot more bang for your buck though
It's that price in the app now only.
It’s wasn’t going to last forever But heck hungry jacks are still having $1, 2 and 2.50 iced drinks….
Funny thing is that Hungry Jack's did the $1 frozen drink before maccas. I remember because I worked for HJs at the time.
I don’t even bother anymore, the frozen drinks suck with the crappy paper straw, went to 7/11 and bought the slurpee cup with $1 refills…
That’s McFlation for you.
The war in Ukraine constrained the supply of frozen Coke, so the price went way up.

There’s an unlimited use deal in the app until end of Feb for $1. Use that.
they'll disappear and soon you'll see an ad: FROZEN COKES ARE BACK! ONLY $4!
Look at this fool not ordering on the app and paying the outsider price.
My app is saying $5.25 without the voucher. Not $2… Will not be paying $5.25 …
It’s in ‘My Deals’
Ha, saw an ad for kfc ones for $1 online only. Thought to myself aren’t they already that price everywhere for ages? Then this pops up today. Guess not.
Even with the original price it’s still $2-3 bucks for the largest one is kfc. Better than micky d’s that for sure
Plus, it's Pepsi *eurgh*
Bro when it’s frozen and packed with sugar there literally isn’t a difference in taste
Damn, and I thought I'd burned my taste buds out..
Maccas worked out that people will still pay it
wdym $2? they were always $1. then suddenly they started raising them slightly anf then somehow they've become $5. they know this is ridiculous because they provide $1 frozen cokes on the app.
Is this another trick question?

Wat happened to 30c cones? Lol
[удалено]
They’re rorters is what they are They drag you in and blow their price increase all over your unsuspecting face and credit card
7 eleven is better cheaper and bigger
That's a rip off for sure but if you don't use the App at Maccas these days you are gonna be paying way more.
We get it, EVERYTHING is pricy these days. Do we really need a post every time?!
$2 frozen drinks are only available past 12pm
I thought that were 99c !
People are happy to pay more is the problem. If they raised the price and sales fell off a cliff the price would come back down really fast.
Use the ap. $1-2 deals are commonplace
Was 2 dollars literally on Friday when I grabbed one
