Mcdonalds: What can I get for a $1?

I hate this for the sheer stupidity, and yes it probably costs more than a dollar, no doubt! 

....and then there's the wonderful dollar menu..........the sundae's for a buck are a good deal...but here in cali they raised the sales tax to 9.25%...so it's 1.09 for the dollar menu....so that kid better go find some pennies in the street.

I hate that guys exaggerated tan spot, if his whole body was that color he'd match the guy at the McDonald's counter. NO ONE gets tanned that dark, even a spray tan. It obnoxious and nasty looking. Also, I doubt there's a single McDonald's employee that would sell to him like that. Lastly, I hate the line "known fondly as the McChicken". Fondly? It's a f**king chicken sandwich, there are plenty of things I remember fondly, but a chicken sandwich is not one of them.

What?  Double cheese burgers are $1.00 again?  Last time I went to MD, I was thinking I was going to get a couple and they were a couple bucks per each.  They did not honor my BOGO Burger King coupons either.

I remember when they were .99 at MD (that's $1.06 to me).  But, if they are back at $1, I might set foot in there one day.

The MD ordering process near me goes something like:  "What ken I get choo."  Shortly followed by "Aye-ite".  Shuffle, shuffle...

2 bags of chips for .50 each?  What country you livin'  in? 

I really want to go in and DEMAND one for $1.   Same for Sonic with those idiots at the drive through.  I'm gonna have to watch those ads for the fine print and if I don't see it, I'll be back... 

When will this insanity that "99 cents is under a dollar" stop? How stupid does corporate america have to think we are to keep falling for this? 99 cents is never under a dollar, because every state i know imposes a sales-tax. $9.99 is a penny less than $10, so why is it some miracle-pricing?$999.99 is also a penny less than $1000, so why does this severely-dated marketing ploy still retain any value?

I'm not falling for it, and never fell for it even at the age of 4. $9.99 is $10 plus tax....perhaps I wasn't born in the american mid-west, and that may be my handicap....Where I come from, we were never fooled by the "buy it for less than $100! only $99.95..." line of horses**t on a golden platter, since it started as a pathetic marketing ploy/scam. Some of you already know what I am talking about.

I can respect a store where they say "$10 + tax" by miles more than one who says "$9.95 + tax". The latter is participating on the marketing deception.

There is one Chinese restaurant we hit for lunch sometimes where the total you pay is exactly $6.

They back priced it so that when the tax is added it comes out even.  I can appreciate that.  What a great idea.

Another place, when I get the lun spesho and then the girl at the register demads:  "fi-oh-fi, you give me sis dowar!"  Well, naturally I give her sis dowar and some odd cents just to watch.

There may be a few states with no sales tax.... http://www.taxadmin.org/fta/rate/sales.html

Don't get me started especially because you can get alot of sh*t for a dollar..it doesn't make it good. How does this prove to me that I should go to McDonalds? I know McDonalds is cheap..that's why we associate cheap with McDonalds. That's an obvious statement if there ever was one. But if I want crappy food I'll purchase one of those gas station hot dogs for a buck and it'll pretty much be the same thing. The whole commercial is pointless. It says nothing new about the franchise..expect that it's cheap..which we already knew. Just dumbasses..and also ridiculous cheap shot because the economy sucks. Way to be original and go outside the box.

It depends on whether it's "for here" or "to go."

I just watched it for the first time.  Unless they've changed it, at the end he's not saying, "Alright," he's saying Wow (in two syllables:  "wao--hao").
