    psychosomatic, there's nothing in their food that you're not eating in other comparable food

    Was never-ever a McD's lover but of course went there occasionally as a kid. Recently I've been wondering if their fries and nuggets would hit that nostalgia zone...just been putting it off for a few months. Will report someday, because I know my opinions matter to you.

    Notice the glitch after he takes his baby bite. There is a sesame seed on his lip and then it disappears. They had to edit the video after he spit out the bite. :D

    Theres no need to report. I already know the answer and its yes, unless youre a psycho or a ceo. Just be sure to grab some bbq and sweet and sour sauce.

    When I was in college, they had a 2 cheeseburger meal that came with a large fries and a large drink for like $5. I'd get an apple pie too.

    Their cheeseburgers have literally 1 ounce of meat...but they were still soooo good.

    Our local supermarket had BoGo quarter pounder coupons on the receipts. My buddies and I would go and ask the cashiers for receipts out of their little trash cans. We ate like McKings for about a year before they stopped that promo. Two quarter pounders, water, please. It was less than $2 every time.

    I haven’t had McDonald’s in ages…probably in at least 5 years

    loved it growing up as a kid, but taste buds definitely change as you get older because I definitely wouldn’t enjoy it now

    I was never a Big Mac guy. I never saw the point of the 3rd bun. Too much bread.

    There's a very well-run and well-kept McDonalds in my neighborhood. Having two little kids it has been a godsend.

    The food is fairly equal across all locations, which is pretty much McDonald's entire business model, but I can tell you that having a clean place to eat it with prompt friendly service makes a huge difference.

    People complain about the price, but honestly, if you know how to use the app you're fine. All the deals are in there, and occasionally they're really good.

    Speaking of the app, what I think is funny is that sometimes you can find a location who doesn't keep their prices updated. All the big hitters like fries and big macs and nuggets are always up to date, but you'll find the less popular items that end up priced wrong. Like for example, my local McDonalds has a double cheese burger meal for 7.99 and the triple cheeseburger meal for 6.99. :confused:

    Also yeah, whoever decided to let that promo with the CEO see the light of day needs to be fired. Like not just fired, but mega fired.

    You know Burger King is going to piggy-back off whatever McDonald's does. They basically try to copy everything McDonald's does (just "less good"). :D

    $9 for a McDonald's synthetic meat "product" is just absurd.

    The McDonald's video is hilarious, but I have to say I've been to Burger King twice in the last 10 years and both times the food was so disgusting I'll never go back. As a kid/young adult it was my favorite fast food burger.
