    They are looking to open 15 new outlets across Europe,
    Clearly a large percentage of the population like there food,Cant say i ever got it,Not saying its bad food,But always thought it just lacks any real identity.

    Anyways McDonalds have lodged objections,and in my view it might save europe from mediocre food. (Not to say McDonalds is much better).

    I had Supermacs the other day. My meal choices where either Medium or Max. I'm not too sure how the lesser option can be Medium, when you've only 2 options to select from.

    I think people will find this more confusing.

    Read this as 'supermacs explosion', thought the Islamists had struck here. If they go after our supermacs then they have finally gone too far.

    I assumed the OP had just become very large following a binge on SuperMac's.

    Someone once opened a fast-food place in Bray and called it "Superjack's". It was around the time of the 1994 World Cup, and they had a poorly drawn image of Jack Charlton in the window. Anyway, Supermac's objected and it became 'Fastjacks'.

    I suppose nothing is the minimum option.

    That's a bit too minimal now.

    Most fast food chains are the same. The food isn't fantastic, but its consistent. So whether you have it in Paris or Peckham, you know what you are getting versus going into a place you've never seen before and not knowing what you will get.

    I don't really buy anything from Supermacs, unless I need a laxative, it's a wonderful laxative. :D

    Sounds like some sort of porta potty company.

    Smokey bacon burger and taco fries from supermacs absolute heaven!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,973 ✭✭✭RayM


    I used to work around the corner from Supermacs on O'Connell St. For almost three years, I had a smokey bacon burger every day.

    Don't judge me.

    Edit: No, do judge me... it's the least I deserve.

    Used to be alright. In Waterford they had a sign outside for chicken breast burger, chips and a drink for 6 euro so I said why not. What I received was the sorriest excuse for a chicken fillet burger meal I have ever and will ever see. Don't know if it was just the Supermacs in Waterford but I haven't got anything else in there since. Although, I do have a bit of a weak spot for the chocolate muffin with the hot cream put through it so probably will be back at some stage.

    About 9 years ago I was working in Blackrock and for whatever reason money was really really tight. Next door to my office was a supermacs and they were doing 2 mighty macs for 2 euros.. 2 burgers, which were a decent size for 2 euros. So my lunch and dinner for a week and a half until payday was 2 mighty macs. It was a great deal and prevented me from starving, but I've not had a mighty mac since. In this course of maybe 8 days I ate I think 32 mighty macs.

    Right now I can't tell whether Im hungry or a bit queasy.

    They're linked up with Papa Johns pizza in Ireland, this has really revived my local towns outlet. Before that the place only ever did good business on a Saturday night.

    If McDonald's think this is bad wait until Burger Mac expands outside of Wexford.

    Supermacs expansion

    Is this the new politically correct way of referring to a fat culchie?
