Turns out the cheese in McDonald’s cheeseburgers is actually made with real dairy! The Wall Street Journal reports that the rising cost of cheese has put the franchise’s famed Dollar Menu in jeopardy. Some restaurants are now pushing a double cheeseburger with just one slice of cheese instead of the usual two. At other locations the price has been jacked up to an obscene $1.10. Now McDonald’s executives are considering yanking cheese from it altogether and calling it a double hamburger. But then there’s the price of beef to consider, which is also rising! It’s only a matter of time before the double mime burger – wheat-free bun, some lettuce and a little imagination – is rolled out.

i'd like to see a surf and turf sandwich, with a filet o fish AND burger...mmmmm
why is milk so expensive now? it's just fucking cow sweat.
Cutting the cheese in any fashion is always bad especially the silent and deadly ones.
I'd suggest that McDonald's just takes a dump in a bun and sells that, but I gather wheat is going up too.
White Castle has a true surf-and-turf sandwich: a fish sandwich in between two sliders with cheese.
Check out the advertisement for the sandwich (which I have not tried) here:

A dollar TEN? That's CRAZY!
People need to deal with the fact that food prices are up and are going to stay that way.
Even the crappy food needs to go up :/
Burger King licks the knife.
BK has a not-too-bad veggie burger. McD's used to have one but they ditched it, time to bring it back.
I love how people diss McD's (I do too) but secretly love it (I do too).
Whopper Juniors still a buck at most Burger Kings. Flame broiled goodness done your way.
Is there any McDonald's in the city with a $1 double cheesburger? Most locations don't even have a single cheeseburger on the dollar menu.
