Doesn’t Australia use the metric system?

Like Canada and the UK, the imposition of the metric system does not mean that the people themselves aren't familiar with some of the organically developed measurements that are useful in day-to-day living, like the term "pound".

McDonalds actually wanted to intro a 1/3 pounder but the average bonehead didn’t know that 1/3 is bigger than 1/4. True story

It’s because McDonald’s minimizes the water in its meat that it doesn’t rot.

Fast Food Brands = Risk of contamination, poor food quality.

Fast food at Grocery store: Higher quality food at a better price with less risk.

The real test would be to eat it and see if has lost its flavor.

I don’t doubt it. There’s some really ignorant people in the world, especially when it comes to math of any kind.

That reminds me a friend of mine that I had who has now passed on. We used to be neighbors. He used to say, “I’m really good with numbers.” Poor guy couldn’t even comprehend that the 1900’s were the 20th century. I just didn’t say anything, because I didn’t want to hurt his feelings.

I was comfortable with partial differential equations but still need fingers to count.

I see this kind of story from time to time. What about other brands?

Is a 30 year old burger still edible?

Trick question. It never was.

Oh this stuff again.

Has it been stored in a completely dry place, dried out, etc., like all of those other “experiments”? There’s not going to be any mold, etc. when you do that.

McDonald’s food is garbage, but when kept in an area with moisture it will mold and decay just like anything else.

The only thing I eat at McD is the hash brown.

And those were around $3 apiece the last I saw. Not paying that.

Had two cheese burgers there a couple weeks ago.
That isnt ground beef. I dunno what the hell it is but it aint ground beef.

Two cheese burgers and a small fry. 15 bucks.

I’ll stick to Carls Jr after this.

But all in all. Guess i shouldnt bitch about it a lot. Its 60 bucks up in Vegas now for a couple burgers.
Two slices of pizza and a large drink is over 50 bucks up there on the strip. 11 bucks for a bottle of water.

I stopped going to Mcd’s over a decade ago after reading about their ingredients.

I watched a video a while back on how their chicken nuggets are made. I almost threw up in my mouth. It's loosely based on a highly-processed "chicken" product mixed with a LOT of ungodly fillers, until it's a thick paste that they injection-mold into "nuggets."

It's a long way from chicken.

Jules: I’ll just walk the earth.
Vincent: What’cha mean walk the earth?
Jules: You know, walk the earth, meet people... get into adventures. Like Caine from “Kung Fu.”

Vincent: And drink wine out of a sack? Go through McDonalds dumpsters? Yer talkin about bein a hobo like Boxcar Willie.
