McDonald's Answers your Questions!

Pythia

I found this website http://www.makeupyourownmind.co.uk/.

You can ask any question you want about their food and they'll reply and post it on their website.

Some gems include (sic)

Why did your emplyees ejactulate into my grandmothers milkshake?

They give serious replies to all the questions asked, even though most are obviously jokes.

Worth a look!

What exactly is the problem everyone has with McDonalds?

It's "cool" to hate the corporate machine man. Fight the power etc etc etc.

God I loves me them double quarter pounders.mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Oh and I'm sure all the people up their own arses about hygene and the like dotn ever thing why Mcdonalds design the stores so that you can at least see into where the food is prepared without trying to hide anything. How many high class restourants let you watch the food being prepared? I'd be far more worried about getting food messed with by a chef you might piss of by having a problem with his food than somewhere lie Mcdonalds.

I got a burger for 1 Euro today. Hit the spot. Couldn't argue with it really. Abrakebabra is far worse, I reckon.

I would rather eat Abrakebabra tbh,

One of the reasons is I know a meal in Abra will actually fill me up and I won't be looking for anything an hour later!

and two, I know they use fresh ingredients (I have seen their deliveries of fresh veg and bread)

Ofcourse with a franchise business some outlets may be substandard, but if you know the good ones(which is the majority when it comes to Abra) then you should have an enjoyable time.
What is the point of complaining on boards.ie when most of these fast food places will welcome your complaints!

mcdonalds food is crap but its no more crap than any other fast food joint and i include local chippers etc in that category

exactly your kidding youself if you think Fuscos around the corner is any better for you than Mcdonalds. all chipper food is soaked in fat and is bad for, but hey it tastes good every once in a while.

Oh man, I've read Fast Food Nation. A book that has no agenda nor would it receive any benefit from hyperbole or exaggerating stories.

Open your eyes maaan, set your spirit free. McDonald's are evil!

Well so do most places including maccies, I never got any rotten or gone off food there. If it was people would notice cos the bread would be hard or mouldy and the lettuce and the like would be all brown and horrible so I dont get how thats a reason you prefer abrakebabra to maccies

also you only know the get fresh ingredients delivered, what if they have leftover gone off **** from last week, what do they do with it?

I'd imagine that eating the same type of food for a whole week would be very bad for you, MacDonalds or not.

AbusesToilets

I think that the quality of products used in McD's is of a better quality over here than in the US,given the stricter standards enforced in meat slaughter etc.
That said,haven't worked in Maccers for a year,i'll never willingly ingest a chicken product,horrible stuff.And the "Fish Fillet" :eek:
One of the biggest problems i have with McD's and other fast food places is the amount of salt used in the production.I hate it when they salt the grills and you get a burger with big lumps of salt on it

thelordofcheese

Don't like McDonalds food at all, can't even stand the smell of the place. Not that other franchises are much better. I prefer the local chippy to them, on the odd time i have chips. Nothing to do with health, just personal preference.

Eat McDonalds! It keeps you regular!

btw I wish I knew when it became acceptable to say that something was Ok or great because it is not like "The shop around the corner".

"Sure they may fart on the burgers, but its the same in any take-away, hence the reason I'll keep eating it".

Also the website by the OP is a crock. They don't answer your question unless you ask EXACTLY THE RIGHT QUESTION. For example the Chicken Nuggets. You read through all the posts and they go on about how it is only made with chicken breast but one post asks the right question where they are eventually forced to admit that chicken nuggets (not chicken mc nuggets) were made from basically chicken parts including skin.

scojones

I cannot for the life of me understand why people go on and on and on about McDonalds, about drug abuse and alcohol abuse.

I see people in McDonalds feeding their kids, who are in prams, chips and mc nuggets. Do I care? No. Why should I? Firstly it's their kid, and secondly they are free to put whatever they want into their own bodies.

McDonalds is not illegal. If someone wants to become obese by eating this rubbish then that is their choice, and they are free to do it. All power to them and thanks for clogging up our health system and making our doctors rich.

If you're going to complain about something, the least you could do is make sure it's worth complaining about.

Agreed. I notice the one in Nutgrove is particularly bad for this phenomenon. Happens unbelievably quickly too. Have had to use the buslane on Nutgrove Avenue afterwards and break lights a couple of times before. Known as the McSquirts.

I read an excellent book on Mcdonalds and their operations. Cant remember the name and cant find it online now...someone probably knows it here... Anyway it went into detail about how they feck up US farmers by forcing them to sell potatoes at below rock bottom prices, went over their meat production (very poor) and how their staff have never been allowed form a union. Great read but to be honest nothing surprises me in this day and age. We eat crap fast food all the time, its all equally as bad for you from any vendor and im sure what we're eating is full of stuff we never imagined was there!

Personally I dont really care, I think ive a much better chance of dying in a car crash or from lung cancer then dying from having fast food from mcdonalds, BKs or eddie rockets 3/4 times a month.

Fast Food Nation was the book just found it...very good read!

as far as i know mcdonalds can get away with alot more in the states than over here.....america is not as strict about food safety etc etc whereas in ireland if it says 100% irish beef than it is(it may be off cuts aswell but its still irish meat) in america there are no standards like this

I assume your talking about yer man Spurlock that made the film? It was a month for a start and he wasnt exactly on his death bed, it was more the "keep up this not eating healthy diet for the next amount of time and your risking your long erm health" kind of "nearly died" as opposed to the "dropped on the floor and had to be brought back by a defibrillater" (sp?) kind.

Try eating nothing but apples and oranges for a month, that wont do you much good either.

Do the people in this thread have an agenda? Yet theres still crap spouted.

As for who it would benifit? Who does selling millions of books and having a film of said book gain? "open your eyes maaan" Would a book saying how wholesome McDonalds is and how everyone is a lovely human being sell even a fraction of the amount? I seriously doubt it. EVERYONE has an agenda to some degree. If you hink someone wrote a book because they are concerned about you and your welfare, you are living in a dreamworld, it's all about the $$$$$$$.

But McDonalds is the wretched corporate juggernaut destroying all in its path and mangling humanity.........

Bottom line, no-one forces you to eat there (I'd hope...) so you if you don't like it, don't go there. At the end of the day someone is gonna make money off you...

Kingp35

I dont see the problem in eating McD's every once in a while. Yeah its not good for you but its a cheap option and wont do you any harm if you eat in moderation.

Saying that though I dont like McD's, Burger King is far nicer.

Kids can remeber about 500 brand names. they know them better than the alphabet or their neumerical tables. Top of the list is...wait for it:

mcDonalds.

The way they advertise directly to childern (there was a billboard campaign a while back with a kid saying no to vegetables and wishing for a happy meal) and break so many laws in the progress and then get away with it by having tv ads directed at adults is bollix.
Mcdonalds food is pure rubbish short and simple. Parents should be ashamed of themselves if its a regular thing for their childern to recieve this rubbish. The Government should curtail their clever ways of manipulating childern through advertising. Nude is just around the corner from mcdonalds grafton st and while you might have to put up with their fairtrade rubbish, the food is fresh, nutritious and as equally inexspensive as mcdonalds.

cson

No one forces you to eat there......

And look there are 1000s of things that are bad for you if you have them in excess, McDonalds is just one of them.

Ah man wake up, what they serve you is not food, its a mixture of the cheapest ingredients they can get there hands on. They use potatoes in the milkshakes, mcNuggets have 38 ingredients including many chemicals found in industrial plants. We could go on like that all day, and their "healthy" foods are the biggest con of all, try reading up, really opens your eyes.
I would rather eat stale bread, seriously.

As someone who works in Food Manufacturing I am really lolling at this:D

Every Deli, every cheap supermarket meal, every chipper this applies to.
Don't kid yourself that this is purely Mc Donalds cause everyone is at it.

That is one of the best websites ever. I can't believe they actually post serious answers to questions like "is it true your milkshakes are made from chicken feet?" hahahahah

It's given me a good laugh this moring. Will have to go and post some questions of me own later..
