    I went to a BBQ joint here in Texas a week ago. Got 3/4 lb of brisket and some potato salad for the missus and me.

    To my surprise… It costed the same thing as 2 menu items at McDonald’s. Like seriously?..

    What’s the point of going to subway and McDonald’s if I can just get some BBQ at a restaurant.

    (Didn’t name the restaurant since I’m concerned this will make them realize they can charge more)

      Marketing only exists to screw you over

        The more you see a product advertised, the less of their earnings are going towards making a better product

          Which is honestly a great point to consider when the advertising parts of a company are the most well paid and all we keep hearing about is how to add more ads into our daily lives.

      Yes. And fancy burgers around here cost between $11-16. We’re talking super fancy burgers, mouth watering medium-rare locally grown beef, crazy sauces you’re never heard of, actual fucking grilled onions, etc etc. and beer, they serve beer.

      Meanwhile the fast food burger joint is basically the same price, but you get overcooked pink slime.
