I doubt this will be enough to save McDonalds; they've become terribly out of date.


"Fresh fruit not good enough for you?!?"

Sliced apples and grapes? YUCK! I'll stick to my breakfast burrito, thankyouverymuch!

Now, if they ever want to provide a mix of melons, strawberries and pineapple, I'll gladly haunt their drive-thru daily!

I assure you, McDonalds' definition of fresh fruit and mine are quite different.

and the Robinsons Fruit Shoot drink with "no added sugar"

Food-labeling FYI: A bunch of food and drink products are adding highly concentrated "grape juice" to their products which has been processed to remove the flavor and concentrate the natural sweetness (from fructose, a form of sugar), to the point of qualifying as almost pure syrup. They do this so they can sweeten their products while technically being able to still claim, "no added sugar" or "all natural" on the label, or list "grape juice/fruit juice" on their list of ingredients without saying "sugar", even though that's pretty much all it is.

For example, many flavors of "Odwalla Bar", a "health food" nutrition bar, list "Grape juice concentrate" as their *first* ingedient (meaning it has more of that ingredient than any other on the list). Imagine the backlash if they honestly listed "sugar" as their primary ingredient.

I loved taking my kids to McDonald's in France last summer.

The kids got what they wanted, my wife and I got a Heineken and a bottle of wine. Decent espresso too.

France really is a superior, more sophisticated and advanced society as compared to ours.

'cept for all the smokin and that pesky anti-semitism thing.

They already serve ketchup. Isn't that considered a fresh vegetable?

I would give a weeks pay for a Big Mac and fries the way they made them 20 years ago, but now the whole thing is excrement.

It all started when they changed the styrofoam package for the Big Mac to paper to save themselves from the whacko environmentalists. Then, went the fries, the bread, the vegetables, the sauce. All modified to make the menu more exciting, each step making it worst. Stupid ass visionless American businessmen. They should all be shot as traiters. We could bring the freakin' Red China to its knees by offering them those original sandwiches. Now, it's just a nasty microwaved nasty mess packaged with a keen plastic toy.

They should have closed the doors, burned every restaurant to the ground and salted the ground. What a complete failure it has become.

It's just a matter of time before they do that anyway.

Hell, a week's pay, I'd give a freakin' months pay.
