The McDonald's Thread

Post Reply New Topic

Another thing that I like are the McHappy toys. Sometimes I'll buy the boys toys and other times I buy the girls toys, depending on what toys are the coolest that month.

Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

Occasionally I go to have a McDonalds, but it isn't a regular thing. We all need a bit of junk food sometimes.

Approximately I have fast food about five times a year or something like that.

There are no McDonalds anywhere near me, so I haven't been to one for several years. I used to work in a shop which had a McDonalds and a Burger King next door, and no other shops for about 1 mile. A lot of the people who worked with me used to eat McDonalds every day.

I'm not massively against McDonalds, but I don't really think of it as food. I don't mind their chips, and the quarter pounder with cheese is edible if you don't have great expectations. The ingredients list seems ok, assuming they are being truthful. But I imagine it clogs up your insides quite well. At least they use UK/Irish beef now, I think they used to use beef from South American ranches made by clearing rainforest. Although I could be wrong about that.

I'd rather have a Domino's pizza. (Something else I can't get round here!)

I went to the one in Falkirk today.
I inappropriately touched the fry of a stranger.

Somewhere like this you mean?

That looks very familiar. Yes.

I have never eaten at McDonalds in my entire life. I'd rather die.

You would have no problem getting hired at the one near me if your a minority ghetto gangsta wannabe. White people who apply do not have a chance of getting hired there unless they have some obvious sever mental impairment that causes em problems doing their job


That looks good; the one closet to me looks like $h!t. I don't see garbage in the parking lots in that pic & I don't see workers hanging outside smoking or doing cartwheels

I think the food is junk food since it's a great way to gain weight but you have to eat there all the time. It is also greasy. I loved eating there as a kid because of the toys and the playlands. Now most of them don't have them anymore and some places still do but they are all indoors now. I would rather take my son to them for an ice cream cone or something and buy the toy without the meal and he can play on the equipment.


If I do eat there, I do not get it supersized. I don't need a huge drink nor lot of fries. The last fast food place I had eaten at was at Burger King which was this month after the autism meeting.

And the fun fact I learned about their food is it lasts for years without it getting moldy because of what they put in it. Look at this:

Euww! Undead food!

I'm not into fast food. I worked at McDonalds for a period of time, it was an okay job, they were pretty nice to me. The restaurant I worked at had very serious owners and I was pretty impressed with their sanitation standards as I myself am pretty fastidious about such things

Ahh McDonalds. Brings back great times. We watched this movie in a science lesson in school. It is really entertaining and somewhat educational; I recommend.

EDIT: Found the whole movie

Wow.
I can't eat it anyway because it makes me sick (I'm really sensitive to processed food), but that's crazy. I'm pretty sure it doesn't remain on your thighs forever though. She kind of lost me with that statement.

It's interesting to compare the different ingredients lists for UK McDonalds and Canada/US McDonalds. The fries and the bun seem to have completely different ingredients, quite scary ones in Canada. Although they could just be called different things over here. They all say the burger is 100% beef and salt and pepper only.

edit

For example here are the ingredients of UK fries:

Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Sunflower, Rapeseed), Dextrose (only added at beginning of season). Prepared in the restaurants using a non-hydrogenated vegetable oil. Salt is added after cooking

Here are the ingredients of Canadian fries:

Potatoes, canola oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, safflower oil, natural flavour (vegetable source), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain colour), citric acid, dimethylpolysiloxane (antifoaming agent), (cooked in vegetable oil - Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with THBQ, citric acid and dimethylpolysiloxane), salt.

Yeah, that was a bit OTT.
But it's a real shocker to see the effect of preservatives and crap knows what else demonstrated like this.
