(Worthy Satire) – In a devastating blow to the fast food industry, McDonald’s shares took a nosedive this week after analysts downgraded the company–citing the rise of weight-loss drugs that are apparently more appealing than a hot, greasy Big Mac and a side of existential regret.
“We used to fight off diet fads with sheer determination and extra cheese,” said one executive through a mouthful of cold fries. “But now people are choosing a once-a-week injection over our world-famous, life-shortening comfort food. It’s unnatural.”
Drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are skyrocketing in popularity, with one insider admitting, “People just don’t feel hungry anymore.” Wall Street quickly translated that as, “People aren’t ordering fries anymore.”
The shift has left McDonald’s in crisis. Internal memos suggest new menu ideas including:
- The “McPlacebo”: a wrapper with nothing inside, but still 400 calories somehow.
- The “Slim Mac”: half the burger, twice the guilt.
- And the “Not Lovin’ It” combo, featuring a napkin and a quiet cry.
Meanwhile, Ronald McDonald has reportedly entered a deep identity crisis. “If people aren’t binge-eating out of stress, what am I even here for?” he asked from the corner of a Planet Fitness parking lot.
In related news, shares of kale futures remain unchanged. No one’s that desperate.
