What Do You Get When You Go To McDonalds? |
| Posted by: gaboman | | I know McDonalds' food is oiley and potentially poisonous, but I have it every now and then, and I've realized something recently... I never just get the meals they offer. I am just making this thread to find out whether there are others like me... or if I'm just a big fat slob.
Typically, when I go to McDonalds, I'll get a Big Mac Meal, plus something like chicken nuggets or a chicken burger or something like that. Sometimes just a cheese burger, if I'm dieting.
I mean, what's with that? You'd think what they offer as a 'meal' would be enough to fill me up? But no, I shove even more gunk into my arteries just to feel satisfied...
So, anyways, let us all know, which of McDonalds' fine menu items do you go for? | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: lickety_split | | I rarely eat McDonald's. when I order I usually get the same items.
Filet O Fish....easy on the sauce, or 6pc Chicken McNuggets with Honey & Mustard dip.
I once had a salad from McD's and it was awful. They really should just stick with burgers & fries.
Geez, I haven;t had a Big Mac in over 10 years! Do they taste the same?
I heard in Europe McDonald's has a totally different taste. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: gaboman | | I've only had McDonalds in 4 Countries and it all tasted the same to me. Just different menus in some places. Never had it in Europe though, so who knows?
I'm not a fan of their salads either
10 years ago I wasn't eating big macs, so I couldn't tell you if they taste different. I imagine so, since they're no longer packaged in styrofoam. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Dekka00 | | I either get the meal, or what comes with the meal but no drink.
or sometimes just one sandwich. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Dekka00 | | I work in fast food, and was about to go on a rant that involved customers and inner hatred, but decided not to.
maybe later. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: gaboman | | See, this goes back to my original point. At Burger King I just get the burger and the meal stuff, and that's enough. But at McDonalds... I just don't feel satisfied after their meals unless I grab something else.
I think they've started skimping on lettice or something. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Lawless | | I like the quarter pounder with cheese. They put a lot of onions on it! 
Besides, you can't beat McD's fries... they are the best!!! | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: gaboman | | I would get a Quater Pounder with Cheese, however they're not available in Taiwan.
Supersizing is bad, Whidden. Don't you remember what happened to that fellow who ate McDonalds 3 times a day? Do you want to end up like him? Do you? 'Cause that'll be you if you supersize, even once. EVEN ONCE! | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: fuscia | | I don't like McDonalds hamburgers. I do love to get their sausage McMuffins without egg.  | | Reply To this Message

I watched part of that show, that guy was super weenie. Ate a supersize meal, and threw up. His wife was a whacked out Vegan (not that being a vegan is bad) who said she would almost not talk to him if he ate McDonalds.
That fellow was a feeb. Little kids can eat a supersize meal. Not our fault if all he ever ate was toful and water cress, then try's to down a bigmac and fries.
SUPERSIZE ME'!!!! I DENY THE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS OF THIS HEALTH NAZI NATION!!!! And health nazi's abroad.

| Posted by: gaboman | | I agree. McDonalds lets people supersize (or used to). They even suggest it sometimes. It's not their fault people are weak minded. You have the CHOICE... they're not forcing you, damn it.
I could eat McDonalds 3 times a day without getting sick. Easily. True, I'd put on a heck of a lot of weight, but I could do it.
Fuscia, the sausage and egg mcmuffins rule. What do you have against eggs then? | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Sierradaddy | | I used to eat McDonald's 3 times a day, and I did put on weight... But, I mean, I don't understand how that guy got SO FAT. I used to supersize my meals, and tack on an apple pie, or another burger, or something. I'd eat the mcmuffin meal with a BLT bagel in the morning and switch the coffee to a medium orange juice (usually the meal would be supersized so I could get 2 hashbrowns), and then have my supersized meal for lunch. Then, before I'd go home, I'd eat another supersized, or a regular meal. Usually it was the Crispy Chicken meal, but oftentimes I'd get sick of eating chicken everytime, so's I'd switch it up. Usually I'd do the Big Extra (Big n' Tasty in the US), or a 1/4 lb with cheese. Sometimes I'd double the meat on the burger. I only gained about 20 pounds, but it wasn't very noticable. I've since lost pretty much all of the weight that McD's was responsible for. Now, Wendy's, BK, Harvey's (don't know if you get that in the US... It's a lot like Wendy's, but it's topped how you like it, subway-style), and the local Jamaican food store make their own regular contributions to my ballooning belly. I pat it with pride and a few burps every now and then...  | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: gaboman | | Are you tall Sierradaddy?
I used to eat Maccas once a day. It just used to be the easiest meal for me to get between work and uni. But back then it was pretty much all I ate for the entire day, so I could probably make one of those Jarod ads for Micky-D's - "the man who lost weight eating nothing but McDonalds!" | | Reply To this Message

Not really. Just shy of 6 ft.
| | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: gaboman | | Eh, taller than me still. Only by a inch or two, granted, but that'd give you an extra few fries and maybe a cheese burger worth of extra storage space. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Sierradaddy | | My metabolism used to run like an out-of-control locomotive, too. Now, it seems that old age is causing the train's wheel bearings to rust, and the metabolism is slowing down as a result. Now a cheeseburger will add seven times its weight to my own. That is just not supposed to happen. It's not scientific.  | | Reply To this Message
|
| Posted by: gaboman | | No, that doesn't sound scientifically sound at all!
Any new menu items in the McDonalds over in the States us foreign folk should know about?
We have some pretty sweet prawn rice-burgers out here... never had one, but the advertisement for them involves women in binkini's trying to suck shrimp with their mouths. That's some good television. | | Reply To this Message

I'm sorry if this sounds foolish of me, but is there another way to suck shrimp?

| Posted by: gaboman | | Hehehe in case any one thought they had one of those shrimp pumps that you use to catch shrimp. Those things suck and blow... No, really, they do. That's how they work. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Sierradaddy | | They make a STEAK BAGEL?? Where the hell has THAT been all my life? Is that only for breakfast, or is it one of those "deals of the month" promotions? Has it been available for a while? If so, I've got a bone to pick with McDonald's in my area... | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: HECK! | | I worked at a McDonald's when I was in high school and gained like ten pounds. Since then I don't really eat McD's too much. If I do it's the sausage McMuffin w/egg on my way to work. McD's breakfast is a gift. Don't eat lunch or dinner there anymore. Carl's Jr. and Del Taco are the only places I cruise to. If you can find something better than the Western Bacon Cheeseburger I'll slap your lying mouth.

| Posted by: gaboman | | I never like bacon in my burgers. It just doesn't fit for me.
I would like to eat at a Carl's Jnr or Del Taco though, we don't have jack when it comes to fast food here. I heard Taiwan used to have Wendys, like 20 years ago. | | Reply To this Message
|
| Posted by: HECK! | | Now if it was an ad for their Hot Apple Pie's, then I can see it.
Do these ad agencies even try to figure out what the 'hip' slang they so desperately want to use actually means?

| Posted by: HECK! | | I think dude was looking to round first base on that piece of meat and keep on going.
Hamburglar was a fruit.
Did anyone get all misty during that McD's Christmas commercial with that kid who can't skate and gets left behind, then Ronald comes back and spin him around? Yeah, neither did I.

It rained today.
The dogs ran around and got all wet, but had fun
Snady got you a hugarter punder with cheese.
Then you would start again after about a minute. Good stuff.
I'm not into McDonalds hamburgers. I like Carl's Jr. better.

| Posted by: gaboman | | Did anyone ever see Mac and Me? Was that like an hour and a half long McDonalds commercial that posed as an ET rip off, or what? Why don't they advertise like THAT anymore?
I've got McDonald's next advertising Campaign worked out for them:
Quater Pounder?
Yeah, I'd give that a rusty trombone. | | Reply To this Message

Actually, yeah. I don't remember how old I was. If I think about it, must have still been a teenager, 18 or 19. Guess I could look up the movie.
I remember being very very angry that it was a McDonalds movie. And the kid irked me. And the Alien was an E.T. ripoff, and he sucked.
Lot of hatred and agression after seeing that turd....

| Posted by: gaboman | | It's an 88 movie, I think. I remember I was about 7ish, when I saw it. That's my excuse... but you have none, I'm afraid. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Whidden | | I was 19 through most of 88. I got dragged to a lot of movies with my buddy Durkee, who was married already, and him and his wife picked the movies.
I blame them. All I remember is when they did the Mickey Dees thing, I went Nuclear. It was like paying to see an infomercial.  | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: HECK! | | Man, I was 10 when that turd pile came out and stayed clear away. Mac & Me. More like Mac &... Pee? I got nothing.
