They changed coffee. It used to be excellent and worth the trip. Now it’s aaverage at best.

I ran Xcountry in highschool. Would have a Big Mac, large fries and large Coke everyday after practice. This was before supersizing (a large Coke back then is a medium one today) and was usually still hungry. So started adding on a 20-piece chicken mcnugget.

Then go home and have a pint of Haagen Das Chocolate Chocolate chip.

Still don’t know how my parents afforded me, and I’m dreading ( my wallet is positively terrified tho) having a teenage boy in the house in a few years.

“We are a nation of financial illiterates.”

All these illegal alien 3rd world illiterates entering are making it worse/ The recent wave from Central America are Indians and semi-Indians who don’t even speak Spanish. They speak Mam, some Indian language, prolly Mayan of some kind.

The legal ones are only grade school educated at best

Personally I trust the cooks at the local churches more than those at McD’s. I am on a diet and rarely have eaten out in the past few months, when I do it is the local church fish fry, they have the best cole slaw and hush puppies going and the prices and company are much better.

I agree. Their meals vary each week I think.

You are correct — those double negatives get confusing.

Looks like that “Mickey Dee’s” crap got them Blacks who don’t have the money to buy a burger. There are stories of Blacks actually chasing Whites out of McDonald’s restaurants saying “This is our restaurant!”

Next EBT cards will be good at “Mickey Dee’s Place.”

I think they need to run more t.v. commercials. I’ve only seen 6 McD’s commercials in the last hour.

My daughter’s idiot high-school health teacher showed Super Size Me to her class. It gave my daughter an eating disorder. She wasn’t only afraid to eat McDonalds, she was afraid to eat ANYTHING!

I should have sued them.

“McDonald’s on Friday reported July sales results that were much worse than analysts had expected. “

It’s because I didn’t eat any of the 2 for $2. egg sammiches in July. Budweiser sales, however, were strong. Burp.

Schools across America are showing “Super-Size Me” to their students, they don’t care how big a fraud it is

> Did you know Spurlock created his documentary in part because his girlfriend was a vegan, with a vegan food business she wanted to advertise. And guess what, the girlfriend’s not a vegan anymore because it was bad for her health!

Now see that would have been useful to know 2 answers ago...lol

apparently, I may not be the only former-mcD customer who now barfs up their product (immediately, too, so that I suspect it is some chemicals or ? allergic reaction??)

I can still eat DoubleWhoppers and FiveGuys without barfing

so it is something special at McD’s

??????

The last couple of times we have gotten food from McDonald’s (very infrequent, but there is one very close to home), it was $15-16 for two people, basic food.
Yep, that's just about what we paid at a local McD. I rarely eat this stuff, but that last Big Mac I had was BLEHH! For a couple of $$ more we go to Dennys of Perkins and the food is much better.
