Because they add annatto, a natural food coloring derived from the seeds of the achiote tree.

Inspired by this thread which I was reading at about dinnertime I looked up "Toronto best burgers" and found that the supposedly best burger in Toronto was a short walk away, at Cabano's Comfort Foods. As I started to eat this incredible burger with a side of cheese fries topped with dried Jalapeno slices I congratulated myself on going there rather than waiting for it to get cold in some delivery rider's bag. I got the deluxe single cheeseburger and it really was one of the best I have ever had. Cabano's
The cost for a single patty is $3.75. A double-double is $6 in Pasadena, CA. D-D is about the cost of a gallon of 89 octane.
In Chico, CA...
The McDonald's Quarter Pounder meal price in Chico, California starts at 13.69 for th standard version.
The Chili's Big QP sit down and relax is 15 bucks, with an appetizer.
I prefer the relaxing one.
I am so old, that when the first McDonald's hit Reno when I was a kid was $1.14 for a Big Mac, Fries, drink combo.

Wow, that puts a whole new perspective on how high the gas prices have become - you could feed all of Nick Cannon’s kids for far less than it costs to fill up a Fiat 500!!

Tell me about it. People who drive F150s or Yukons at work and live in the sticks are crying big tears.Wow, that puts a whole new perspective on how high the gas prices are - you could feed all of Nick Cannon’s kids for less than it costs to fill up a Fiat 500!!
I remember a 99 cent happy meal, and a Big Mac/Fries/and drink for $1.50- with inflation over the last 50 years factored in, the prices are about the same as today.
That was my "Fast Food" go to when living in Germany - hit the Imbiss and grab a Schnitzel sandwich with pommes

A 1/4 pounder w/cheese was $.70 back then. Today with inflation it would be $5.59.
When the 1st Burger King opened around where I lived in Wilmington, DE, Whoppers were 19 cents. Within a year they went up to 29 cents and stayed there for a while. You could get 2 whoppers, fries and a large coke for $1.20 or so. Not bad. Now, here on the west coast, In-N-Out has by far the best fast food burger. The Iron Horse Tavern in downtown Sacramento has the best burger I've had.
Wow-- we didn't have a McDonalds anywhere within 100 miles until 1977 so the prices were a bit higher by then
