I am a Xer and I never ate a Big Mac. It just never appealed to me. I prefer Quarter Pounders.

Surprising. I had always heard they went well with Pot.

The Big Mac is one of my favorite things from McDonald's.

I need to have one every so often, maybe every two months or so.

We’ve got all of the fast food burger joints in our town, including Freddie’s, and a soon-to-open Five Guys.

But the best service, cleanest, best fries, and best burgers (IMHO) are found at the local Dairy Queen.

In SoCal, home of burger joints, there are so many better alternatives.

In N Out being just one example.

How do you know what you prefer without having tried both?

I’ve got three millenial kids at home. I just asked their opinion about the claim of this survey, and they all called bull.

My first thought was, “What about all the other stuff on the menu?”

They’ve been losing market share for a few years, I think, but there’s much more competition now than there was in the 1970s and early 1980s.

McDonald’s charges $4.69 for a Big Mac, or $1.29 for a double cheeseburger. As if the third piece of bun in the middle and some nasty-ass lettuce is worth $3.40?

It's not this way overseas. In Kiev the McDonald's are packed with young people. Now the burgers do taste much better. But the prices are a bit high compared to Ukrainian restaurant, which we prefer. Even when the currency dropped 50% compared to the dollar, the young people still went.

About a decade ago, I asked a teenager at a Moscow McDonald's if she liked McDonald's. She replied with obvious enthusiasm "We love McDonald's."

Big Mac was ripped off from Howard Johnson’s 3D burger.

On a rare stop at McDonald’s a while back, I ordered a Big Mac on a whim, instead of a Quarter Pounder.

It was disappointing. The two patties were thin and small, it was practically all bun and the bun was limp, as was the lettuce. The only real flavor came from the “special sauce” which was fairly obviously Thousand Island salad dressing.

They’re not missing much. Not at all like I recalled them tasting.

My taste bud memory from years past tells me Big Macs are great, but the last few times I had one it tasted like chemical crap.

The other day I watched a McD worker tossing boxes into the dumpster. One box was labeled “Folded Eggs, Ready to Heat”. Gross! Can’t they even cook a frickin egg? So I’m done with their breakfasts now, too, because who knows what else is in that folded Frankenegg.

I’m not a food snob but Big Macs are sickening.
It must be that special sauce. They really do make me sick.

I don’t know what people are eating, but the McDonalds drive-thrus in my area are packed at lunch time...
