I love the fact that there are people saying that all these are different and they love having that choice.

This is a dumb post

Capitalism itself rarely invents new things, but it does optimize existing things quite well

Though what it tries to optimize it for isn't always what is best for the consumer

Chicken sandwiches used to be so much better. Now it occasionally feels like I'm biting into a tire. I don't understand this business strategy.

Its simple, capitalism treats the consumer like cattle, and the optimization of profit drives them to replace real quality products with cheaper and cheaper substitutes over time until you're expected to bite into that tire and go "wow, this chicken is delicious"

I don’t understand this business strategy.

You still bought it and they saved money. Profit!

I love the mobile game version of this because it shows how everyone just rips each other off. This is more of an example of food companies optimizing a tried and true formula.
