Well, I am quite close to Pat’s Philly cheese steaks.
I have never had one; I credit myself with better judgment. I remain convinced that McDonald's "food" is for the palate-impaired.
So... the peanut butter replaces the “soy protein” I’ve seen on the ingredients list? (I’ve only seen White Castle burgers in frozen form, in the supermarket.)
A McDouble is a double cheeseburger with only one slice of cheese instead of two.
Any carnivore or omnivore which does not require live or raw food would gobble up ANY cheeseburger in a nanosecond.
McDonalds doesn't start with a produc,t then convince people through marketing to like it. They determine through product testing which profitable products their customers will buy, then they market those products.
That's the way the fast food business survives.
>> but it still tastes like cardboard.
Nah, the $1 McDouble doesn’t taste like cardboard, it tastes like fat on a bun... and fat on a bun tastes GOOOOOOD...
Yeah, they've got the metric system over there. They don't know what the f%$k a quarter pounder is.
What do they call a Big Mac?
A Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it Le Big Mac
Le Big Mac.
What do they call a Whopper
I don't know, I didn't go into Burger King.
Off topic, but I was in England and Burger King had a "Bean Whopper", guess they have a lot of vegetarians over there.
And I did NOT try it. Gross.
No E at the end of "Royal".
It is not edible. Ammonia and pink slime, no one should touch McDonald’s burgers.
No wonder you stay. Philly cheese steak is some of the best eating there is.
The only reason we ever bought them was after going drag racing and coming home broke it was stop at McDonalds where the hamburgers were 13 1/2 cents each or $1/dozen!
If we weren’t broke we went down the street to Bobs Big Boy and had a real hamburger.
“Check out the big brain on Brad.”
They are good. We have some great sub shops here too.
I can only think that the McDouble is a loss leader. They make it up on the soda and fries.
But not from me. I bring my own soda, or splurge on a $1 iced coffee.
Yes, I'm cheap, at least when it comes to food.
When I'm running errands, I make a point of grabbing one. It also saves me the time of preparing lunch.
Pretzel buns are where it's at. It's the culinary invention of the 2000s. I used to get a pretzel bun "sunrise sandwich" every day on the way to work. Very addictive. You'll never want to go back to a regular bun.
I remember going there as a kid. I remember going to a McDonlad's like the one pictured below. Check out the prices, circa 1969.
This was the entire menu:
Hamburger 0.15
Cheeseburger 0.15
Shake 0.25
Fries 0.15
Coke 0.10
Rootbeer 0.10
Coffee 0.10
Orange Drink 0.10
Milk 0.10
Gas cost $0.29/gallon, too. Ah, the good old days.
