I can see your point, but companies do this all the time. Honestly, anyone who feels somehow screwed by this probably deserves it for eating too much of this shit anyway.

It’s a shame companies trick their customers, you gotta be smart to notice…

Even worse is politicians tricking their voters & citizens on purpose with empty promises… The should set a good example… hopefully Obama can!

I’m a McDonald’s employee and saw this post about McDonald’s recent Dollar Menu change and thought I would let people know the Double Cheeseburger is not going away. It is true that the Double Cheeseburger will no longer be on the Dollar Menu. Due to rising food costs, it will now be offered on our regular menu for a slightly increased cost (recommended price of $1.19).

However, since we know many of our customers come specifically to McDonald’s for the Dollar Menu, we’re offering an additional double burger that will be on the Dollar Menu called the McDouble. The McDouble is pretty much the same as the Double Cheeseburger, but with one slice of cheese, versus two.

Hope this clarifies that there are actually two products available — the Double Cheeseburger at a recommended price of $1.19 and the new McDouble on the Dollar Menu for $1.
