McDonald’s Admits: No One’s Really Buying Our Salads
Consumerist ^ | June 3, 2013

Posted on 06/03/2013 1:18:40 PM PDT by SMGFan

When people accuse McDonald’s of serving food that isn’t nutritionally ideal, they can always point to their salad offerings. See, salads are healthy, and McDonald’s serves salads: therefore, you can eat healthy at McDonald’s, but if consumers choose to eat something else, that’s cool, too. Only the company admitted to investors this weekend that they don’t actually sell a lot of those salads: vegetable-based offerings account for maybe 2-3% of McDonald’s sales in the United States.

“True. IIRC, sometime in the 1990’s they offered pizza which flopped.”

I ate quite a few of those little pizzas. They always seemed to have some sort of promo on them, so they were cheap, and actually not bad taste-wise. Now the McLean Deluxe (or whatever it was called) was horrendously bad.

“That being said, when you go to the Golden Arches, it’s for French fries.”

I’ve been trying to find my inner six-pack. It’s visible now under certain bad lighting conditions and if I’m warned you’re going to look you can definitely see it. No fries. No sugar in the coffee. I try not to even breath the greasy air.

When I die people will usher past and say, “Damn he looks good!”

Every time McDonald’s gave into the vocal demands of the few for HEALTHY food and wasted countless dollars on roll out, equipment and training people refused to by said healthy food! McDonald’s biggest failing was to fall into the trap of trying to be all things to all people, If they had stuck with the menu they had in the late 70’s and early eighties and continued to run the operation the way Ray did they would have been better off. That is why IN N OUT does so well, stick to the basics and excel.

I buy their salads every once in a while, they're pretty good.
Better than their burgers, except the Angus burgers that I really like.
But the Angus burgers are gone too now. Sigh.

The politically correct meal is just like the electric car.

And this is the new theory of relativity; if it was dreamed up by collectivists, it will fail.

The salads are a little rubbery. But it makes sense to buy on burger and a side salad from the dollar menu rather than two burgers, which can leave you a little too full and guilty.

They are over priced.

If they made em for 1.99 or 2.50 I’d buy em.

Omg! They are incredibly stingy with their sauces? I like bbq sauce w my fries and some locations try to charge me for a thing of sauce. Its ridiculous!

Absolutely love their grilled chicken salad. Great ingredients and Paul Newman's dressing. Filling and only 190 calories.
