Restaurant chains have been introducing limited time items to try to lure back customers they've lost in the tough economy. Sonic revived the long-dead dollar menu and The Cheesecake Factory added value bowls and small bites to its already novel-length menu.
The allure of McDonald's and other fast food chains has always been their rock bottom prices. Even in the era of inflation, McDonald's still has deals and special offers available through its mobile app. But the price of its latest limited time offering, the McDonaldland Meal, has people wondering: What's the point?

The McDonaldland Meal comes with either a Quarter Pounder or 10-piece McNuggets, fries, a Mt. McDonaldland Shake, and a special collectible tin commemorating one of the McDonaldland characters. Presumably it's the collectible item that's driving up the price—because it's been driven up a lot.
"Just curious how much the McDonaldland Meal is in your area," someone asked on Reddit attaching a screenshot of how much it costs where they live: a whole $20.48! At Applebee's, you can get 2 entrees for $25. At Chili's, you can get a burger, fries, and a drink for $10.99. Buffalo Wild Wings even offers unlimited appetizers for $9.99—per table, not per person. At this point, it begs the question: why even go to McDonald's?
"Better off just going out to eat," one user replied. Another agreed, saying, "I could get [a] Vietnamese bowl for like $10."
It is worth noting that the $20 price was an outlier. Plenty of people responded in the comments with the prices in their respective necks of the woods. Most of them were around $12 to $15—which sounds steep for fast food, but is pretty standard these days for a combo meal.
Believe it or not, $20.48 wasn't even the highest price on the thread. A user located in upstate New York, near the Vermont border, posted a screenshot of the meal's prices in their area. $23.08 for the McNugget variant, and $24.48 if you want a Quarter Pounder.
