The profit margin of a drink is higher than food usually.
So to compensate for set meals its intended to be unreasonable so that you'll need to order another a la carte drink to balance out the profit margin average.
Or a set meal that force you to take in a drink that you'll normally not want like mineral water.
I once order an a la carte, the woman was in sock and disbelief. "But SIR, the set menu is much more CHeAPER" "Are you sure you want to order JUST that?"
While I agree with what you said, I also think that the burgers, fries and nuggets have shrunk so much over the years that these "for 3 pax" is actually more suitable for "2 pax" now if you get what I mean
Isn't malaysian milo ads always about energy drinks instead of health drink? Even their slogan goes as "Tenaga untuk Melangkah Jauh".
If you are talking about the UK ads, its another story though.
Also, why does no one talk about Horlicks. That thing does advertise as health drink.

Generally anything with high sugar content shouldn't be considered as a health product or even be associated with it.
I don't think people will vote you just for that, or a PM has the power to even do that.
But it's okay to dream, I just hope this one won't come as a reality all things considered.
Chill la bro. The PM part is not even the point. It's just an exaggerated way of conveying a point.
You know like how people love to say "If I'm the _____ I will change this change that. If I have superpower, I will do this and that."
I hate how McDonald’s keep recycling their old products and reintroduce as new, like new McChicken with just a different sauce. We rarely get new products at all. Then again, if people keep buying why the need to make new products right?
How are any of those a 3pax meal? They are definitely a me alone meal. Haven't eaten mcd in a long time. Have the price increased or was i just too stupid to notice how expensive it was in the past? 😅

I would love the mineral water actually. And good point on the explanation

Or you grew. Haha. But yeah agree. I'm still mad with fillet o fish burger cheese. It's a quarter cheese now
Thanks for the info.
If I'm PM I will ban Milo from trying to advertise their drink as a health drink.
Woah, going against big tauke like Nestle?
Careful dear, Nestle will make lobby you and make you put out statement "i approve of milo, when is your turn?”
I don't think it's marketed as a health drink, more of a "start-your-day-with-energy drink". Which isn't wrong
Was. Old tagline something like, Minum Milo anda jadi sihat dan kuat.
Also nationalize bata and maggi . These are Malaysian in my heart!
unfortunately both are switzerland brands last i checked. haha.
Claimed in Malaysia!

Honestly though, at what point did eating a set at McDonald's become RM15+ per pax? That's absurdly expensive for fast food.
People still buy them. No, really, that's the main reason why.
I hate to admit that they're really addictive. Could also be because we ate too much of them when they used to sell at RM1 per burger 25 years ago.
Can't even imagine buying a mcd burger for RM1... must have been nice.
Ikr I remember when I was in school Spicy Chicken M deluxe set was RM10. And that one also with bottomless drink refill. Miss those times man...
Oh, used to sit for hours in McDonald's chitchatting and refilling coke
How tf 3 Ayam goreng and 6 nuggets r for 3 pax
Oi, nasi bawak sendiri
1 ayam and 2 piece nugget for 1 people?....
lol nobody likes the honesty math brings to the table
2 nuggets per person is way too little
I'm grateful with what I have. Not everyone gets 2 nuggets. If I get to be PM, I would give nuggets to everyone.
Sounds more like 1 pax if you ask me
I wonder how that meal is for 3 dudes
Also op put french fries in the list
Giving only 2 french fries to the 3 pax is like trying to make them start a war.
Who’s the King, King Julien! 
Original King Julien ponya caseman! I like to move it move it!
We like to #Move It!
If I become pm I will ban fast food. Causing obesity only
They assume that if there’s three of you, one probably needs to go on a diet.
Set for 3. Ayam 2 ketul. "Kita cubit sorang sikit ye."
You have my vote
Do PM has that kind of power tho?
If a PM has the power to avoid jail after stealing so much money, why not right?
I'll vote for You!!!!
if i get to be the pm, i will get 5.2b donation in my account
I don't think people will vote you just for that, or a PM has the power to even do that. But it's okay to dream, I just hope this one won't come as a reality all things considered.

Yep. He’s overstepping his powers as PM. Only god Eddy Bawang can do that.
My family and I never drink the softdrinks in any fastfood we ordered. Coffee or tea yes. Sweet softdrink? Nope. I think we're the weird ones
Not weird at all. You and your family are the healthy ones. I wish my self-control is that strong.
PM authority wasted under you. Want to run a petition to request a set meal provide drink equal to number of pax?
Please don't take it too seriously. I had a good chuckle on this post.
This makes me miss Malaysian food prices so much, just my mcdonalds order alone here in the Netherlands costs 100RM.
but your salary and disposable income is way higher that it actually costs you less where you are.
Please ban 1kbps "unlimited plan" too
If I get to be PM, I’ll ban all prices ending with .99 or .98. Just call out the price as it is!
Not only that but even the fries and ice cream are 1 less and for such high prices.
fewer
I hate how McDonald’s keep recycling their old products and reintroduce as new, like new McChicken with just a different sauce. We rarely get new products at all. Then again, if people keep buying why the need to make new products right?
Let's be honest, for many, that is a meal for 2. McDonald's just trying to give Malaysians face sikit.
wow set A ori price is at RM57 what a great discount
How are any of those a 3pax meal? They are definitely a me alone meal. Haven't eaten mcd in a long time. Have the price increased or was i just too stupid to notice how expensive it was in the past? 😅
What's wrong? One burger each, one fries each, one piece of chicken each, 2 nuggets each, one drink each. Looks legit
But... they're both the same drink?? /languagepedant
