>The difference between McDonald's midrange line and, say, a burger at a restaurant for $18 is negligible in flavor.

Oh come on. I get that you're trying to make a point but this is ridiculous.

Both provide expected caloric and nutritional value, let’s say that. *Even at a flavor baseline

Spoken like a true bean counter.

If that’s my goal, I’ll have a Soylent drink or GreenBelly bar.

I’ll eat a $18 hamburger because it tastes really good - yes, about 18x better than a $1 burger.

Fun fact - I never compared the quality of $1 and $18 burger.
