McDonalds - I'm Lovin' It

I didn't know Big Boys still existed.

They're barely hanging by a thread (the parent company), while the Frisch's franchise now a separate entity that gets to use the Big Boy namesake in their respective territories, after the bankruptcy that occurred a decade back. This is why you don't see that many Big Boy's across the country (let alone under names like Elias Bros., Bob's, TJ's, Kip's and whatever), yet ironically Japan has them, but their steakhouses!

Of course anyone who goes to a Frisch's will have to tolerate seeing this!

Fuck McDonald's.

I don't know if it was just me or whatever, but I'm pretty physically active and do what I can to not be a fat fuck.

I worked there for my first job after High School, and would take lunch there. Nothing crazy, a decently conservative meal of one sandwich or a 10 piece mcnug.

It took one month after adding McDonald's to my diet for me to gain 20 pounds.

I wonder if Heinz will start selling McDonald's-branded McNugget szechuan sauce in squeeze bottles in Canada at Walmart and Loblaws like they've done with Big Mac sauce, McChicken sauce, and Filet-O-Fish sauce (isn't that really just tartar sauce, though?)?

We had the Junior Chicken in Canada for a while, though I believe it was identical to the U.S. McChicken sandwich. I think McDonald's Canada switched to the U.S. branding for the cheap chicken sandwich a couple of years ago. Currently, there's also the Thai Sweet Chili Chicken sandwich in the McTasters line though I think that's a limited-time-only thing. ADDENDUM: Ya know, now that I think about it some more, I think I was right about the Canadian Junior Chicken being the same thing as the U.S. McChicken but now I remember that there was also a Canadian McChicken sandwich that was a full-size sandwich and not half-sized like the Junior Chicken.

My favourite McDonald's chicken sandwich was the McBistro Southwest Chicken that they got rid of a few years ago in favour of other chicken sandwiches that appear with huge advertising campaigns like the CBO (Chicken, Bacon, Onion) only to disappear 6 months later.

It was my understanding that McDonald's dropped Heinz as their ketchup supplier after it was acquired by Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital, the latter which owns a majority of competitor Burger King. Maybe licensing conditions are different for you in Canada? From what I read, McDonald's current ketchup supplier also makes the special sauce.

The name isn't the same, but we have a chicken-based sandwich here in Eastern Europe

Here's the info from the back of the Big Mac sauce bottle. Kraft Heinz Canada distributes the retail version in Canada although it doesn't say who makes it so I presume it's actually made by McDonald's ketchup supplier.

Interestingly the sauce is made in the United States but I don't think Americans can officially buy Big Mac sauce in bottles like Canadians can, or at least not yet.

ADDENDUM: By the way, in case anyone's wondering how the bottled Big Mac sauce compares to the restaurant kind, it tastes the same so far as I can tell however the bottled version seems to be a little more viscous and thick than the restaurant version, I'm not sure if that's something to do with increasing shelf life or maybe just to make it amenable to the squeeze bottle format (if it was too fluid, you might pour more than you want).

How fucking long do they plan on keeping "I'm Loving it" as their catchphrase?

Its not catchy, its addicting. You arent supposed to love McDonalds because its not good for you.

Back in the 80s the catchphrase was "Its a good time, for the great taste, of McDonalds" complete with Ronald McDonald forming the golden M with his fingers. This implied more that McDonalds was a special treat, not something you eat every day just because "You love it."

It's a shame we don't have that sort of "luxury" in advertising anymore.

I stopped by a Big Boy while driving through Michigan in July. It took me forever to get seated, and when I was it was right next to the kitchen. While I was waiting for my order to be taken, a waitress brought some food back after complaints, and the cook had a nuclear meltdown. Screaming, throwing stuff, the whole nine yards. The manager then ran back there and fired him.

I should have left, but it was the evening of the 4th, and I was having trouble finding anything that was open, so I decided to stick it out. The same waitress who had been the catalyst for the night's entertainment came to take my order with tears in her eyes. I ordered the simplest thing on the menu, a burger with fries.

The food came out surprisingly quickly, given that during this chaos, I had overheard staff saying customers were bitching about slow service. The burger was shit, and they were stingy with the fries.

The manager came over and said it was on the house as an apology for what I had witnessed. I left a $20 tip because I felt bad for the waitress and because she had a pretty tight ass.

Thank goodness I don't see this happen whenever I'm at Frisch's down here.

Special treat means you're not there enough. Eat more.

I had a McRib today for the first time in 8 years; it was predictably disappointing, but I don't regret it. I would have enjoyed it more if it had extra pickles, to neutralize the meat taste. I like the sauce.

I actually had a positive experience at a McDonald's this afternoon.

There was one guy taking orders, but he was doing so incredibly quickly and accurately. It was actually shocking how competent he was. He whipped through about ten transactions in two minutes, and even more incredible, food was coming out a lightening pace. I ordered a ten piece, and it was up thirty seconds after I swiped my card. Everyone in front of and behind me received similar service. Like, even people who were ordering breakfast were getting their food in less than a minute.

I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it with my own eyes.

I hope he's not being told his job is being replaced with a computer soon. That sounds like a winner!

This and I'll add the Big Mac and McRib. A few years ago if you asked me if I would go to McDonald's I would say Hell to the no. Because they messed up my order too many times. So why go eat somewhere if you're not going to enjoy it?

Thankfully the Mcdonald's locations near me have turned on and are doing usually above average service. Their food still makes me feel bloated but at least it looks and taste good.
