seems like a pretty nice way of opening up an extra revenue stream to me, they do it in asian countries i know for sure so why not here god id love a macers right now but im too lazy to go

Can't guarantee the quality.

Because mcdonalds food goes off after about 20 minutes, and the chips are horrible and soggy after 10. They'd have to pump more artificial preservatives and flavours into it to make that feasable.

mrDerek · 24-03-2011 4:52pm

id still eat soggy chips :P

Mac Donalds do in China.

FatherLen · 24-03-2011 4:54pm

because the regular mcdonalds eater is fat enough.

Balfie · 24-03-2011 4:54pm

its hard enough to get a hot burger in macdonalds.. It would be a frozen brick before it got delivered..

you dont have to drive to ten or eleven other houses first though

gargleblaster · 24-03-2011 4:56pm

they don't have to.

also, it'd be extra expense for them (insurance, comped meals due to delivery-person's stupidity, etc.)

Not true - try 137 days and counting

mcdonalds chips dont make it the walk from the counter to your seat before going cold, never mind a 15 minute drive

kfallon · 24-03-2011 5:00pm

Why would they come to you when they know you'll go to them.....

My Brother got me mcdonalds its only a 10 min drive home

That's just a reaction to the poison he put in it.

depends i suppose on where you go, it took me 10 minutes to get it home one day from my local mc donalds and the chips burnt my mouth.

another day in the one in town i got chips that were under cooked and cold, so i brought them back up to the counter and instantly got barely warm but at least fully cooked replacements, so who ever was cooking them that day was just crap at it obviously.

They deliver in other countries. I don't know why they don't do it here. They'd make a bomb.

johnn · 24-03-2011 5:19pm

I'm betting the OP is obese, won't even walk 5 mins to the nearest Mcd's ffs :rolleyes:

There's a delivery company in Galway that delivers McDonalds. It's one of those ones that delivers food from a whole load of places. I've never used it but I'd imagine it would be pretty cold and gross by the time it got to you and it's not really the type of thing you can stick in the microwave

BuzzFish · 24-03-2011 5:29pm

Thought from the latest adverts they were working on a way to beam us into the restaurants?

i agree!

i also disagree with her "the food stays in your thighs, it doesn't beak down" comment if that was the case i'd be a quarter pounder with cheese shaped obese monster, i'm a slim size 10.

i can say i ate an alarming amount of mc donalds in my life and i don't have 20 years worth of chips floating around inside me not breaking down. :rolleyes:

Yes but have you eaten MacDonalds in China? The chicken though cooked has a pinkish colour. Yeuk!

They cant loose anymore customers to heart attacks. Going to Mcdonalds is the only exercise they get.

checkyabadself · 24-03-2011 7:08pm

If they delivered, we would have newspaper stories like this within a year.....

Bulldozer used to free obese man trapped in house;

A man was airlifted to hospital earlier this morning to have his couch surgically removed from his body. Members of the local fire brigade were called in to lift a man locals are calling, "the burger king" from his house....

I often buy an extra burger from McDonald's after a night out and heat it up for breakfast, bloody delicious. So I could survive the delivery time I think

why dont mac donalds or burger king do delivery?
