McDonalds - I'm Lovin' It

Now, the golden gem of McDonald's was taken away (I haven't had it since well before covid but still) and I remember being pissed when I found out.

I went to McDonald's recently and I think they made the mcnuggets thinner now. Has anyone else noticed that?

Yeah now that you mention it...but it was always a lot of batter for a fairly thin piece of meat.

Comparison on Reddit, definitely more shocking.

That's exactly what mine looked like.

The weird thing is, that post is from over a year ago. I thought this was a newer development.

Interesting. I guess they wouldnt publicize making a menu item smaller.

Microsoft copilot says the amount of calories per nuggets hasn't been updated, which is interesting. I don't know what to think. Could they have made them smaller but also made them more caloric so the calories would stay the same? The AI said the sodium and whatnot had changed.

I love mc do in America. The one near one of my many high schools had lobster roll on their menu. I also like it in Canada and the Netherlands. It is disgusting in France. Everything is dry. You’re not allowed to have a straw with your drink, which ruins the drive thru experience. If you eat in the fry containers and drink cups are dirty plastic and you’re expected not just to bus your table but also do their recycling sorting. Also the stores are filthier here than the worst ones I saw in the USA. So I’m off the stuff for good.

Treated myself to a Big Mac with fries and a coke tonight. Upon taking the first bite, half of the lettuce and sauce evacuated out of the other half of the burger into the container. Typical. Also for some reason, every time I have one of these, there's very little of the bottom half of the bun left once I get to the last couple of bites. The fries were dogshit. Too salty. Still ate them though. Took a few sips of coke before throwing it away.

Some other fast food thoughts.

Wendys. Had this recently. I like their Baconator but sometimes, no matter how hungry I am, I'll take a few bites and lose my appetite. Took a few sips of soda as a pallet cleanser and threw the rest of the drink away.

Taco Bell. Had this a couple of weeks ago with friends. Got the Chalupas with a hard shell taco and a Baja Blast Mountain Dew. I started with the taco, which disintegrated into a pile of soggy tortilla and ground beef as I unwrapped it. Looked disgusting but tasted pretty good. The chalupas were a more structurally stable version of the disintegrating taco and was fine. I gave away the Mexican-flavored mountain dew without trying it.

Burger King. I don't remember if it was this year or near the end of last year when I had this. Went against my better judgment and got a Bacon Whopper instead of the Big Fish. Absolutely horrendous. Half of the burger was dry and other half was a soggy mix of mayonnaise, ketchup, and grease. I got really sick from this.

Jack in a Box. Had this last year. Got 2 of the mystery meat tacos, an Ultimate Cheese Burger, curly fries and a coke. The tacos are delicious. They look disgusting and I'm pretty sure the meat paste they use comes from a tube that's injected into the shell via syringe but I don't care. The Ultimate Cheese Burger tasted pretty good at first, but by the halfway mark, the thought of taking another bite filled me with revulsion and I couldn't finish it. The curly fries are good. I had ordered a large combo, which meant that my coke came in a ridiculously oversized tub of a container. It was so large it couldn't fit in any of my cupholders and I had to have a friend in the passenger seat hold it. Pretty sure I gave the soda away.

In my experience, Burger King and Jack in a Box patties have a higher chance of containing bone chips and connective tissue.

Do people still fall for that trick? They are almost never broken. The lazy assholes behind the counter don't want to clean it after they use it. Nobody wants to call them out on it. But that machine works, the people don't.

Does that even sound like it makes sense? Theres this one restaurant where literally no one has work ethic, but only as it applies to ice cream? And it's every other franchise of this one restaurant? And its the most successful restaurant?

The ice cream machines are made by a company called Taylor that has proprietary software which monitors the machine and shuts it off if any part of the maintenance is done even slightly wrong. It flags a cryptic error code which franchises arent allowed to see the manual for. They then have to go into their own pocket to hire a Taylor maintenance man to come out and personally fix the machine (interpret the error code and do something very simple that a 16 year old fry jockey could have done with correct information) and the Taylor maintenance man charges a lawyer-level hourly rate. Due to corporate agreements, franchisees arent allowed to hire a third party to fix the machine, it has to be a Taylor andy. Most franchise owners just say fuck it, id rather let the machine stay broken than pay that dickhead $400/hour to tell me that this error code means the cream tank was a liter overfilled.

Just in the last few years theres a third party company that came out with an app that interprets the error code, it was very popular with franchisees and McD's corporate/Taylor immediately sent the lawyers after it. I think the appmakers won that case though.

Thread tax, Im not a fan of most of the menu but Double Fish Sandwich is a winner
