Actually, a friend of mine who actually went and checked it out said that
the prices at the Expo McDonald's are exactly the same as the prices at
all the other McDonald's in Vancouver, and that these prices are significantly

Everybody that I know that went (>= 20 people) said it was great.
I'm going.
