McDonalds - I'm Lovin' It

Are you in the US?

Canada, actually.

McDonald’s is releasing another nostalgia-themed meal next week, this time it’s themed around McDonaldland.

Whenever McDonald's released these limited edition meals in my area, they were always immediately sold out (like the legendary "Grimace Shake").

I have no idea why McDonald's over the past few years, decided on a "Hypebeast' business model. Either make new releases easy to get, or don't do them. Also, stop lowering the quality of your food, while raising the prices. Mcdonalds, the reason your stocks are tanking isn't 'cause you aren't going viral on TikTok - it's 'cause your food has gotten waaaay to expensive for its quality.

That's similar to meals like the Wendy's 4 for $4. No clue why Mcdonalds wouldn't do that anywhere else.

I think it's 'cause Mcdonalds has (I wanna say, since 2015?) been trying to re-invent itself as a more "luxurious" mid priced fast food joint, like Chipotle or Panera. Hence, all the ugly weird bougie looking Doctor's-officey redesigns.

I got to try the Grimace Shake when it was re-released in Canada, it tasted like blueberry muffins, which means they probably just added berry flavoring to their vanilla milkshakes. You aren't really missing out, just go to the store and buy some blueberries, milk and vanilla ice cream.

looks like the McDonaldland Gang is hiding from the lawyers of the Krofts' Estate

Fun fact: the Kroffts in fact sued McDonald's for ripping off H.R. Pufnstuff and won a million dollars. (You probably know this if you even mentioned it unless you just noticed how pretty obvious the ripoff is.)

Sid & Marty Krofft Television Productions Inc. v. McDonald's Corp., 562 F.2d 1157 (1977).

Mcdonalds, the reason your stocks are tanking isn't 'cause you aren't going viral on TikTok - it's 'cause your food has gotten waaaay to expensive for its quality.

To be fair, almost everywhere has had to raise prices. The problem is that McDick's has done it while the quality has gone into the toilet. Nevermind bullshit promotions that you can't get anyway, causing people to chimp out in line.

I tried a daily double the other day at mcdonalds because i was curious what it was.
its like a double cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato but the only put mayo on it and no ketchup

i really dont understand that. how can you have a burger with no ketchup.
it wasnt horrible, but it just didnt really make sense.

also the mcdonalds near me is really atrocious.
frequently when you get things like a mcdouble or the mccrispy they taste like theyve been sitting around for hours
even during rush hour or whatever.

one time i made the mistake of taking the bun off a mccrispy to look at what the hell was going on and it looked like the toppings were rotting into the chicken or something. it smelled like old sweaty socks and was horrifying. mcdoubles are like this too.

also the only reason to even get mcdoubles in the first place was because they were on the value menu where you could get 2 for them for cheap. but they ended that and charge you out the ass for them.

interestingly, the only thing that they have there that seems to be relatively consistent and edible is the filet o fish.
which is funny, because you'd think the mcdonalds fish sandwich would probably be the worst thing on the menu, but its probably the best.

anyways - with how much mcdonalds has jacked up prices recently, it's basically on par with wendys now, if not more expensive.

and wendys is so much insanely better than mcdonalds that there's really no reason to go to mcdonalds anymore.
like, I've never had a bad order from wendys, but at mcdonalds it happens probably more than half the time.

the only thing people ever say is good at mcdonalds is the fries but half the time theyre fucking cold anyways.

I think it's the new way (machine?) they cook burgers/chicken at McDonalds that they switched to during the pandemic. Since 2020, the few times I've been to Mcdonalds, I either had to send food back for being cold/undercooked, or the burger was warm on the outside but raw in the middle.

Does anyone know what the sauce in the bagel is? I read online one that it was mustard and mayo, but that's wrong as hell. It tastes like some kind of hollandaise.

It's the only thing keeping me tied to the arches, and damnit I want to dupe it so I can stop going.
