McDonalds - I'm Lovin' It

[NOXIN]

The Supersize Guy was Morgan Spurlock. He died of cancer last year at the age of 53.

And Donald Gorske, the man who's eaten Big Macs every day for over fifty years, is still going strong. McDonald's bros stay winning.

Review: McDonald's Minecraft Nether Flame Sauce — A True Flamin' Hot Condiment
View attachment 7165780

I've tried that flame sauce today. It's literally the same Mighty Hot Sauce that they served back in 2021, except it's in a different packaging. Not that I'm complaining. I quite like it.

If I could go back in time...



...I'd go back to the year where McDonald's was this cheap again.

 

[James Howlett]

Wonder if it's due to his boozing since they don't mention what type he had. Asking because alcohol, which he tried to hide he was abusing with that lie of a documentary, can increase the chances of several due to the damage it does to GI tract and liver.

I think my favorite of these kinds of things of all time is probably KFC's original Chicken Littles at $0.39. These were just slider sized chicken sandwiches with lettuce and a dab of mayo. They were the ultimate stoner munchies.

The Big Arch has become my new go to meal when I go there. It's like $15 for the meal here in Canada now but it's basically a bigger Big Mac without the gimmicky extra piece of bread.

So apparently McDonald's introduced the "McCrispy Strips", which is a bastardized version of a chicken product released a decade ago and resemble more of Burger King's Chicken Fries than an actual part of a chicken. The company also has talked about reintroducing the Snack Wrap but where is my Fruit and Yogurt Parfait, damn it!?

The worst part is that they still sell the old good tenders in the UK:

Look at how sad the new tenders look in comparison:

I tried the new ones
burger king /10
that's not a good thing

God, I loved the chicken selects with the honey mustard sauce.

I like their breakfast because they have biscuits and the biscuits are pretty good. I also really like the Sausage Egg McMuffin, great upgrade from the normal McMuffin.

I think McDonald’s food >>> dunkin Donuts food. Dunkin is ubiquitous in Boston and all the hot food menu items are really bad. (The donuts and coffee are good.) I got hash browns there the other week that were just not cooked. I took one bite and it was just raw potato with salt. Eww

 

[Xarpho's Return]

Finally broke down and got the app and ordered my usual $5 meal. The sweet tea tasted sour, so I didn't drink it. Fries were good, they threw in that Minecraft flame sauce. It's basically the Chick-fil-A sriracha sauce but I don't think even as sweet. For a movie marketed toward children and Gen Alphas a spicy sauce seems a bit strange but maybe kids these days are different.

Double quarter pounder with cheese, large fried, Hi C orange

I like McD's enough I'd eat there avery day if I didn't mind putting on 50-60# and being a fat fuck

seeing as how I try to eat healthy on a regular basis, I only go once every couple of weeks and eat vegetables and stuff the rest of the time

McDonalds....

sigh

I want to continue loving it, but for me it's somewhere back in the 2000s.

Not only do I swear that it tasted better in the 90s and 2000s, but even the smell was better.

Every time I want to have McDonalds, I walk in and I'm struck by that rancid oily smell. There's definitely been a change to their quality.

I just can't do it anymore.

I think it's the change in ownership of individual restaurants. More restaurants used to be owned by some local couple and those restaurants are often the best ones; more often than not it's owned by some investment group and management is placed in the hands of some subhuman who can't manage a restaurant, can't retain employees, and manage to screw up some of the most idiot-proof foods ever made.

That's yet another problem inflicted by corporate. They jacked up the franchise fees so high that the local couple can no longer afford it.

Had a mcflurry for the first time since they changed to the cardboard flap container. It's actually mixed all the way through now instead of just the top 2/3 of the cup?

It's a nice improvement

I can't stand how it's assumed everyone will pay at the cuck kiosks. Over the last month I've been in McDonald's thrice, and each time I made a game of it, waiting at the register instead of ordering via kiosk. I'm never served.

Between the garbage aesthetic and the lack of human interaction I think McD's is the most visibly dystopian restaurant out there (for the highest concentration of visible despair Arby's wins, but that's another story), though if you prefer fry cooking to dealing with customers I suppose the kiosks might be an improvement for the employees.

I kind of hate how most slop joints are trying to push you to use busted apps that have no value to even get decent deals worth a shit myself. I haven't really been inside one of them for a while, but I do remember they did tend to serve the self-order guys first.

I just tend to drive thru if I feel that weird craving for cheap beef and cheese because fuck it.
