I don’t believe it.
There is a huge difference.
These are the same “experts” who advise consumer packaged garbage companies on how to market their wares.
McDonald’s is nasty.
Epic proof that it’s mostly in your head, especially regarding food. Can’t wait to send this to my obsessive foody friends and read their meltdowns
Oh PLEASE!!! It’;s NOT nasty!!
Well the “experts” beg to differ...LOL ;-)
OK, not nasty, then. It’s disgusting.
“Penn & Teller’s B*ll Sh*t!” program did a similar thing on one of their programs, taking KFC chicken, burgers from Burger King, MacDonald’s, Jack in the Box, and other fast food restaurants, re-plating them and serving them as food from up-scale restaurants and getting ratings from people who would try the SAME food presented from the same source right next to it in taste tests. It was amazing the differences noted by the “experts” according to what they were told was the source and what they claimed about taste, food value, etc.
It was also amazing when the food value of salt, calories, etc., were tested by a laboratory reported on the nutritional values between the fast food and the upscale restaurant food. . . the Fast Food won every time.

I don’t need an expert. McDonald’s is a low grade food. Some of it is ok, like the fries and coffee. Most of what they sell is barely food. If you’re used to eating it then it tastes fine. If you’re used to real food then it’s nasty.
I’ve never understood the hostility to McDonalds - they serve pretty good food at a cheap price, how dastardly. It’s true that the quality of individual restaurants can vary - the one nearest my house obviously does not clean their grills and equipment very often and they can’t make an Egg McMuffin without getting the bun completely soggy with grease. But there are a couple of McDonalds on my commute to work which are perfectly decent - I pick up a Chicken McSandwich every now and then, tastes as good now as it did when I was a kid.
Not disgusting either.....are you a GIRL???
If it were that bad, they would be out of business.
Agreed. McDonalds does not serve food, they serve food-like product. My kids have never even had a “happy” meal.
It’s cheap, which is all that matters to many people. Their profits are down so apparently it does matter to more and more.

I love it!
Plenty of cheap food franchises have failed. McDonalds knows how to sell food. Granted, I rarely eat there but they put out a known, appreciated product that rarely varies between stores.
“My kids have never even had a “happy” meal.”
That is really kind of sad.
