when tomatoes get more vacation days than Americans
so they lowered the prices of everything that no longer has tomatoes, right?
Haha, you’re cute
Well… If they remove it is to stay on the same price and avoid an increase or reduce the amount of increase. It cannot get cheaper…
They needed to increase it and this was to avoid it or to avoid a bigger increase.
To be cheaper that would require that the prices of the raw materials stayed the same which isn’t the case or I guess but I doubt it’s the case that they increased the prices of their products aka burgers but they saw the low sells and removed the tomato and reduced prices to increase sells.
They can reduce margins but that has nothing to do with the tomato removal and if needed they probably did reduce them up to certain point.
This is Burger King… This is not a bare necessity, they know of it gets expensive people simply won’t go. This is not like increasing the price of the raw food or monopoly product…were there is no alternative
Tomatoes and other crops got decimated by monsoon right?
Why not say it as it is? Why the need for such PR bullshit?
because a lot of adults in the modern world need everything spoonfed to them like children
Okay but am I the only one disturbed that somehow tomatoes are too expensive but pizza…which is made with tomato sauce…is getting cheaper? Unless…what is dominos making their sauce out of?
Tomato sauce is produced in the hot months, sterilized, and stored in large aseptic containers to be used all year long, or more. This summer’s inflation isn’t inside the sauce yet.

they dont produce with FRESH tomatoes.
plus half of it is oil.
I swear, it seems like getting a decent tomato is impossible nowadays. They’re all refridgerated and horrible, completely bland.

grow your own
cherries still have some taste, and garden or ecological options still have flavour.
Tomato went on vacation, never came back
TIL they have Burger Kings in India. I’m guessing for the non-Hindu population? Genuinely surprised.
To piggy-back on what others have said, the big franchises absolutely do regionalize their menus. A BK/McDonalds/KFC here in Romania always has a strong garlic sauce as an option, because that’s a normal part of our cuisine. You won’t find that in the UK, for example.
Sometimes the differences are small, sometimes they’re large. All depends on how different the local cuisine is from US cuisine.
Noooo, no climate catastrophe here nope not even a bit. Just a vegetable vacation mhmm.
