Why do McDonald's automatically put gherkins in the burgers? They're revolting and I don't know anyone who likes them.

I worked for Mcdo's 20 years ago.

They used to send someone down to basement every hour, get them to open a rubbish bag to do a food count. It way a way for them to monitor wasteage. We heard that the pickles were put on burgers to check if the sales tally matched the amount of average discarded pickles.

Maccers always seems like a good idea, until an hour later an I'm starvin!

Doesn't fill a hole in your feckin tooth!

The fact that one burger can have pieces of upto 600 cows should keep us all away from the place.

But nevertheless Mcdo's food is a great cure for constipation.

1 Big mac
1 supersize coke
1 fries
1 caramel sunday

walk around at a medium pace for 10 minutes and wait

You can get a coke with fat in it now? :pac:

Cheeseburger is 99p.

Thats all I ever get, when jogging past a local McD's, as a treat. One thing in their favour- its old school fast food. Ask and get immediately. With a lot of modern fast food you might as well take a seat in a restaurant. No waiting is fast. Anything else, is slow.

Why isn't a Big Mac the same if you don't have an Apple Pie to follow?

What does all the other stuff taste like? I only ever have a Big Mac

The first two question statements are contradictory. You claim you only ever have a Big Mac and wonder what the other stuff tastes like yet then assume a position of knowledgeability concerning the taste and after effects on tastebuds of a McDonalds Apple Pie. I am tempted to call Shenanigans :pac:

Yeah, but you need about six of them to be full and you belch half an hour later and you're hungry again.

Kinda defeats the purpose!

I don't eat processed food, I never get take aways & I don't drink fizzy drinks.

But once, maybe twice a year, I have a Big Mac, large fries & a Fanta.

And I do be fucking lovin' it.

To be honest I don't eat a whole lot of processed food myself and only do a Mickey D's about once every three months. Each time I do I leave dissapointed. Gimmee a 1/4 pounder and chips from an Italian chipper any day of the week.

Lies all lies, I've been there twice in the last while (first time in a few years)
and I've had to ask for two measly sachets of ketchup both times.

Is its Heinz ketchup? It tastes nicer than heinz in the bottle.

Anywho I won't be going back if I'm going to eat fried food its going to be a decent chipper.

A lot of people are quite passive here about what their food does to you. I watched a documentary before about a guy called Morgan Spurlock. In truth, I had to switch the thing off after about 10-15 mins in, I started to feel sick watching him. When it was re-ran I watched it through, and it's a real eye-opener.

The idea behind this documentary was to see what effects it would have on his body after living solely on Maccy D's for month. Of course normal people wouldn't live off it for a month, but it was interesting nonetheless. He was advised by doctors during the filming to quit his McDonalds diet because it was beginning to cause serious health implications, and in particular they were concerned about diabetes. During what they did get filmed up to that point, he had gained nearly two stone.

Obviously if you only eat McDonalds three times a day and you GO Large its going to have a major effect. On the other hand a cheese-burger is less calorific than most sandwiches ( which is what it is).

I find that documentary as useful as someone who wanted to show the dangers of Guinness drowning 15 pints a day ( 5 per meal) and then pointing out the dangers to all Guinness drinkers.

No. SH*T. Sherlock.

I'll still have one or two pints on a Sunday afternoon.

Go back to the part of my post where I acknowledged that ffs.

Thanks for that information that is completely fucking useless to me, and good luck with that.

Dudess · 20-11-2011 07:06PM

McDonalds is muck but I do have one the odd time I'm drunk/hungover/having a serious late-evening munchies attack - probably averages about one every six weeks. I do think it's tasty.

The why post and start with a sentence about how unconcerned we all were with the dangers of Mikey D's.

Your posting of a 5 year old dull and largely rubbished documentary was massively entertaining however. We were all agog.

There was nothing aggressive about it. It was standard reply to post, not poster.

It all tastes like *****

Why don't they have wider straws so you can suck the Shake up them with out imploding you sinuses?

Take of the lid, drink it.

Why do they always give me Ketchup? I hate Ketchup

It's not all about you.

Why don't they position the bins in the Car Park so you don't have to get out of the car? It's a DRIVE THRU ffs

You need the exercise if you eat this crap food.

Oranage2 · 20-11-2011 07:12PM

Not really impressed with Mcdonalds these days - not bad if you want like a sunday or double cheese burger - Much rather a BK or KFC

It was a thanks whore post if ever I saw it. I acknowledged the fact that nobody eats that shyte on a day to day basis, but you chose to ignore that fact for a reason. It was a cuntish, pointless post.

Here's a documentary how somebody lost weight eating Mcdonalds

Not so detailed as your documentary but pretty funny

I don't like McDonalds. Their fries have to be eaten within 5 minutes or all you can use them for is roofing nails, Big macs are only lettuce and special sauce these days and the double quarter pounders are dried out from sitting under the heat lights. If you go early enough you can get a bacon egg and cheese biscuit and hopefully it won't be dried out too, but that's only if you're lucky. The sundaes are good, if you ask for double hot chocolate. I once ate at a Micky Ds and the pancakes they served me were frozen. I also want to know why a pat of "pure dairy butter" doesn't melt but turns into some foam?
