McDonalds - I'm Lovin' It

[Caddo Cobgang]

I haven't been to a McDonalds in years so can any Kiwi confirm or deny if the food has become bad

I still have it from time to time (mostly delivery because Gen Alpha has ruined the experience of eating inside of a McDonalds,and the employees arent allowed to kick out unaccompied children sadly) I would say the food tastes good, its still goyslop but the Double Cheeseburger is definitely enjoyable, theres better options like Wendys or Five Guys but McDonalds can still do burgers well

My dad said the early 90's McPizza tasted like Army mess hall (DFAC) pizza, and was "alright".

But my dad also likes Domino's thin crust pizza without extra cheese, so IDK if his pizza opinions should be trusted...

I heard about this obviously before my time but they discontinued it due to it not being able to be ready in a timely manner like Fast Food is and due to the drive-thru windows costing too much to expand to be able to fit pizza boxes out, apparently its still a thing at one mega location in Florida, im no where near that though so I havent been able to verify that

dominos is the closest thing you can get to Fast Food Pizza, thin crust sucks but just the normal cheese pizza is pretty good

The 90s McPizza version was personal pan pizza size. Like the size of the Pillsbury frozen grocey store pucks.

I don't think it was so much of an issue with drive-thru window logistics, but cooking times, drive-thru throughput and needing to install/use ovens that are off the main burger prep station assembly line.

Max Miller of Tasting History did an episode on Spam.

Apparently Spam was sent as a staple to Guam, the Phillippines, Okinawa, the USSR and Hawaii as humanitarian aid and military rations during WW2 to feed GIs and stave off starvation in the indigenous population.

IIRC, he made a claim that the Guam McD's features Spam on their menu.

Honestly, I could see it as a part of a breakfast platter or as a sandwich item since it works decently well for either as stock, which might help their tasteless egg pucks.

It's garbage but it's solid for when you want to eat garbage. Tastes good. Pretty good coffee, especially now that they added the espresso shot option back to DoorDash.
