    Because if you didn't get off your ass to actually go there you'd end up like the Supersize Me guy even quicker?

    I live too far away to walk, if I did walk I would end up in a calorie deficit from doing so and actually lose weight. You wouldn't want me to become an anorexic now would ya.

    Most people go for either the chicken or the beef, I don't think there would be much demand for the liver :p:p:p.

    Jesus, how far away do you live? There's 1350 calories in a Big Mac meal.

    I live about 2 mile away, and I only have large fries and chicken nuggets. I don't like all the sh1t they put on burgers like ketchup and mayo and garlic and onions.

    And in Korea. You might have to move to Asia if you want your McD's delivered.

    Supermacs delivers and their chips are much better than McDonalds. Though nothing beats McDonagh's chips or Homeplate's chips in Galway.

    I can think of two main reasons why they don't do a delivery service...

    One, they are making more than enough money and hence profit from their current operations. They don't need to deliver thier food, so they don't.

    Two, if you've ever got a take away, especially from MaccyDs, and had to reheat it it's bloody awful. Fast food just doesn't keep the same way a Chinese, Indian or even a Pizza will. Hence burger based fast food isn't really suited to a delivery service.

    Mind you I wouldn't have said no to a whopper delivered to my door last night!:pac:

    Yeah, in Korea McDonalds, and I think, my local KFC deliver too. But surely there's a better chipper in your area that'll deliver some big fat greasy chips to ya anyway. Why bother with Mcdonalds/Burger King/KFC?
