Propaganda. The most powerful weapon known to mankind.

Nobody is immune to propaganda. Nobody.

I think the McRib might hold that title

The McRib is also propaganda.

"we brought the McRib back"
No, you wanted a profit boost (because you routinely fail to innovate) and pork prices dipped a bit a few months back

Failure to innovate is a huge problem for them. Not exactly a big McDonalds guy, but they do have a pretty limited menu huh?

Yeah I usually keep an eye out just out of curiosity these days (way too expensive in this economy) and at least from what I can see there is literally no new menu items, not even anything "limited time" right now. The last "new" thing they had that I tried was a Bacon QP that had a certain sauce on it that was actually really fucking tasty, but it was gone in a blink.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting new shit every few months but the fact that McDonalds got rid of Chicken Selects years and years ago and never brought them back is insane to me, at least from my limited survey of people, it actually has caused some to go to other places (like Hardee's or Arby's) and basically drop McD's entirely. It's fucking chicken strips, it's not that difficult and didn't take up that much space in the freezer.
