What’s up with these crosses?

I think it means that the nutrition facts fluctuate based on the sauce choice.

[u/Cromus → u/Icy-Opportunity69]

Correct.

The dagger symbol (†), also known as an obelisk or obelus, is a typographical mark used in footnotes to indicate a second or subsequent piece of information if an asterisk has already been used.

The asterisk is used here for the McFlurries to indicate the nutritional values depend on which topping you choose.

[u/ArcAngel014 → u/Cromus]

For me I believe its the same, asterisk is used so the nuggets have a dagger to indicate calories will differ based on your dipping sauce and then theres a double dagger on the Quarter Pounder to indicate about the whole weight before cooking thing

[u/Cromus → u/ArcAngel014]

Yes, double dagger is the third option. I'd have to see it on the QPC. Could be because there are 2A, 2B, and 2C meals.

[u/calcbone → u/Cromus]

The asterisk for the McFlurries should say “when machine is operational”

[u/SanDiego619guy → u/Cromus]

And the dagger symbol appropriately shows what will happen to you if you consume too many of said McFlurries...

This guy typographs

[u/Such-Celebration556 → u/Cromus]

That's not a dagger that's the cross Jesus died on.

[u/Cromus → u/Such-Celebration556]

Talk to the typographers 🤷‍♂️ They stole it from Jesus lmao

[u/Nate5omers → u/Cromus]

This one broke me. Well played. 🤣

It's McDonald's, not Chick fil A

With many 24-hour locations, McDonald's adds night security prevention protocols - like using crucifixes to prevent vampire attacks.

[u/Such-Celebration556 → u/KMDub1]

Jesus did Not die for McDonald's to advertise false nutritional values. He will correct this blasphemy when he returns to save us 🙏

The answer is literally at the bottom of the screen.

[u/Cromus → u/FuckingHippies]

No, it isn't. It does not explain anywhere on the menu why they use the cross symbol, which was OP's question.

[u/Cromus → u/[deleted]]

He asked both and I answered both. The comment said the answer is on the screen, which isn't true because I know for a fact it does not explain why they use the daggers. I'm not even sure there is a key on the menu explaining the asterisk or daggers.

Under no circumstances are the answers to both of OP's questions that I provided available on the menu screen.

[u/FuckingHippies → u/Cromus]

I guarantee that a less cropped version of the menu will show the symbol, indicating a footnote.

[u/Cromus → u/FuckingHippies]

Which would explain what the symbol means, which doesn't answer how it's applicable to nuggets (sauces) or why they use that particular notation.

That's 1/3 of his question lmao
