Chicago, IL-(Effingham Radio)-McDonald’s is reportedly set to launch its five-dollar value meal as inflation leads to higher fast-food prices.
The meal deal will offer a choice of a McChicken, McDouble or four-piece chicken McNuggets with fries and a drink. But Mickey D’s may be doing away with free drink refills sooner than expected.
McDonald’s was going to stop self-serve soda fountains for dine-in customers by 2032, but the “Business Insider” reports the plan is being left to the discretion of individual restaurant owners.
