I wonder how much of it is people's taste changing. As in people who didn't eat good food before starting to realize there's more to food than fast food so their opinion of McDonald's changing over time.
I ask this because in South America and Europe McDonald's has always been consistently the same taste since I can remember. There were a couple of random specific locations where the food was subpar, but in general it's been the same, a Big Mac is a Big Mac since I started going to McDonald's over 30 years ago and in every city I've eaten it (never been to the US though).
Having eaten at McDonald's in both USA and Europe, I can say the food quality is noticeably better in Europe.
I can add that the same is true for south America and Japan. I don't have an explanation for it, but the quality and taste is consistently worse in the USA compared to my experiences elsewhere. Incidentally, KFC is almost inedible in the USA, but quite good in Japan for example. Maybe it's related.
