Ronald plans to offer spicy chicken wings starting Sept 9.
Imagine! A dollar a wing! (Bones included.) What a bargain! Nine (count 'em, 9) sauces! Where else can you get that? (every grocery store?)
Keep in mind that MacDonald’s offers a double cheeseburger for one dollar. No bones about it.
I can hardly wait to ignore 'em.
Umm it’s Mc.
I keep reading this in a vernacular voice.
And I thought this was going to be about McD’s opening an outlet on one of those new super-size planes…
I predict it will crash and burn.
On the up side, if they take off big, the price of chicken to the consumer is likely to plummet.
You never know. If it doesn’t take off, they may pullet.

What, buck and wing isn’t enough, you need a buck a wing?
Mmmm…BBQ chick’n. How can they lose?
I think they are way overpriced. $1/wing is about double what they cost from a local convenience/chicken store chain.
You mean TFC (Tennessee Fried Chicken)?
Yeah, there’s no way that they can compete at that price. Everywhere that has wings has them for 60 cents each, at most.
Not that I’m a frequent bar-goer, but don’t some bars provide free wings for drinkers (glug, glug)?
You can’t make any assumptions about price. The article just says “Starting at $2.99/3.” For all we know, a box of 10 wings could be $3.05. It also says that these wings are bigger than average, so the price isn’t really out of line.
Now see what you’ve done. You’ve made me defend McDs.
Chicken wings used to be garbage meat, available for about the price of the cheapest hamburger if not less. They now go for more per pound than drumsticks or bone-in breasts, and sometimes even boneless chicken breasts.
McD’s farming 6-winged chickens in Bolivia won’t change that.
Yeah, I know of places with $0.35, $0.25 wings. I can’t see how these are a bargain, unless maybe it’s a whole real wing life off of a roaster chicken.
Free wings for drinkers? I have never heard of that in my life. Many bars charge you for wings. Most bars don’t even have free peanuts, rarely free popcorn.
A dive bar I go to provides free popcorn. Chevy’s gives free chips and salsa. Unlimited.
I will take that bet times two… but I don’t claim they will keep that price point. I know that McDonalds does their research and are much more educated on the market than anyone here may claim.
So, at double… we’re looking at a bet of $0.24?
I’ve had 'em. They don’t suck but nothing to write home about.
BW3 is way better as is Wingstop
Redoubled to $0.48.
I remember the McDLT and the McLean Deluxe. Perfect marketers they ain’t.
That’s getting a little rich for my blood.
True. Living here in the area where the whole thing started I remember when ten cent wings were the standard price and you’d sometimes see a promotion for nickel wings.
