I've never eaten a Big Mac.

its honestly not worth doing it now, i had my one-every-six-months one this afternoon as i was on the road pressed for time and while not awful it was not like eating anything at all
fries were fine tbf

a big mac can be good if the planets align and you get that 1 in 1000 that tastes like it should.
i eat fast food occasionally and it actually does feel a little dangerous now. the ingredients have gotten so cheap and the restaurants themselves so sloppy and bleak. more and more they resemble bus station bathrooms and the people inside look more and more like they are waiting to see their oncologist. (i don't do drive-thru for some weird reason and thus i actually get to see inside of fast food places. let me tell you: it ain't pretty.)

I did eat Quarter Pounders in high school.
Does Starbucks count as fast food? It does, no? I did eat one of their egg sandwiches on a road trip a few years ago.

Big Macs are pretty pointless now that everybody else is offering double-meat burgers (and beyond) that don't have an unnecessary third bun.

I've realised the reason I find big macs inedible and quarter pounders edible is the famous mcdonalds burger sauce, which is on the former but not the latter.

i had a quarter pounder for the first time ever last year and it was so salty i thought i was going to die.
i had my kid get me a big icy coffee drink at dunkin donuts last year and even though he didn't ask for sugar it was the single sweetest thing i have ever attempted to drink. i threw it away.
this country is so junk sick. its nuts that its legal.

Sodium-sick too. That Starbucks egg sandwich tasted like a salt lick. I was chugging water for hours.

We really don't have fruit pies in this country like I feel the US does. It's painful.

They have the m&m mcflurry in Portugal but not in the UK. Clearly more evidence of the EU's vindictive attempts to punish our great nation.

but i have never eaten food at a Starbucks. iirc it's like they have a cooler full of salads and sandwiches? was the egg sandwich cold or microwaved?
― budo jeru, Sunday, 17 September 2023 15:09 (seven months ago) link
Warmed, yeah. They stick'em in the oven.
The salads and cheese plates looked cool.

i miss the scalding hot mcdonalds apple pies that weren't open like the ones now are. they didn't have those openings/slits on top. they were better to me. oh wait they were fried. that's why they were better. but they changed them because mcdonalds CARES ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.
― scott seward, Sunday, 17 September 2023 15:19 (seven months ago) link
Beware the infernal inside of a recently cooked apple pie
― calstars, Sunday, 17 September 2023 15:23 (seven months ago) link
wow, they changed the pies in 1992. how times flies. whole generations since then haven't known what they were missing. they were way better, later generations! and you never got to have the fries when they were fried in beef tallow. they were way better too, later generations!

After a few hours of drinking on an empty stomach, a quarter pounder with cheese and extra pickles really hits the spot
― calstars, Sunday, 17 September 2023 15:24 (seven months ago) link
they should have an age limit to eat at mcdonalds. you can't be over 30. young bodies can take a lot of crap.
― scott seward, Sunday, 17 September 2023 15:39 (seven months ago) link
In the UK at least, I think a lot of McDonalds' business now comes from their breakfast menu and that's contributed to the decline of the classic greasy spoon cafe - possibly the only places offering even less healthy eating than a McDs.
― Ward Fowler, Sunday, 17 September 2023 15:52 (seven months ago) link
Salt on a McDonald's burger is added by the cook. Always possible to get a one off bad one. But, yeah, it isn't a healthy sandwich. The beef tallow lawsuit is an extreme example of complaining about mcdonald's while refusing to eat anything but mcdonald's.

McDonalds actually hasn't been too bad compared to other fast food places. last time I went to Taco Bell it was like $13 for 3 things. I think I spent nearly $15 for a footlong at Subway recently. but at McDonalds you can still get 2 McChickens for 3 bucks which is a good deal. also the only thing I actually like there

Del Taco is a good value.

Taco Bell, is so expensive these days, but I remember the .59/.79/.99 era thirty years ago when they catered to college kids

"I do like the Sausage McMuffin"
sausage-egg-cheese mcmuffin the only thing that i still like the taste of at mcdonalds and its the only thing that doesn't make me regret every life choice and feel like death. maybe they make those at a different place.
― scott seward, Monday, 18 September 2023 14:54 (seven months ago) link
I agree but I don't care for the egg part, and sausage-only is not a standard menu item
― the world is your octopus (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 18 September 2023 15:04 (seven months ago) link
the mcmuffin was invented at a nearby mcdonald's. They display the original metal egg ring in a glass case like a holy relic.

xps Try getting the app. Whenever I watch over my cousins, maybe half of the time I end up getting them Wendy's, so to make things easier, I got their app, and it's crazy how much free stuff and discounts are always available. I'm sure the other fast food apps are like that.

sausage-egg-cheese mcmuffin
These must be different in the US because the ones I've had in England are awful. Meat that is simultanously burnt and underdone. Egg that is rubber. Melted plastic for cheese. Drywall for a muffin.

I can eat McDonald's food, but not in a McDonald's.
The change they made in their frying oil - 10 or 15 or 20 years ago? I don't fuckin know - irrevocably changed the smell of the restaurant and I can't abide being in there for more than a few minutes.
They can still serve an edible sandwich, tho

one thing about McDonalds is it's one of the only places around with an indoor playground which is important given how cold it is here most of the year. so if you have kids it's kind of a godsend, as guilty as I feel about taking them there.
