Regarding McD's, no matter what or how much or in what combination I get "food" from there, I am always hungry 5 minutes later. It's like I didn't even eat anything. It's basically a lie in a food-shaped format. I do not know how they manage this and am probably better off not knowing.

That is EXACTLY how they survive. You're hungry again not long after so you go back for more of their low cost food. Repeat ad infinitum and you suddenly have a massive empire with more money than god.

I used to really like jell-o pistachio pudding. Now I am going to think of gross fake gauc. bleh. Grocery store rice pudding makes me pretty sad. Kozy Shack isn't terrible really bad it is so damned sweet. I refuse to try their tapioca.

McDonalds is around because they were some of the first (after White Castle) to figure out how to maximize speed of service and consistency of food across all restaurants. Everyone was big on convenience and speed when it came to fast food, so they spread like wildfire across the world over just a few decades even when their poo poo wasn't that great. It's just that now speed has started to fall by the wayside as consumers demand food that tastes good and is healthier or better sourced, which McDonalds is the exact opposite of in every sense. They've been struggling ever since and are mostly visited when there's nothing better around or when you're too poor to go anywhere else.

I've known people who ate their food like two to three times a day on the regular. I like getting a burger from them every few months or so out of weird misplaced nostalgia, but I could not handle getting the quantities I see people getting on a regular basis.

McDonalds, you say? Remember the Windows 7 Burger from Japan? I don't know which I hate more: this ginormous rear end in a top hat of a burger, or the fact that it celebrated the release of an OS. https://www.google.es/amp/gizmodo.com/5394184/i-ate-the-windows-7-burger/amp -review

Yeah mcdonalds trying to focus on their food being gourmet or healthy was like the dumbest loving years long ad/product campaign ever. Every single human being is aware of what you are mcdonalds we grew up with you around us. Just sell cheap poo poo cheap

Even then, McDonalds is that place where you only go if you have no other options. I eat at it a few times a month because I have production meetings down south where I need to take a train followed by Uber to get there, and the only food option within walking distance outside the train station that's not a gas station is a McDonalds. Their burgers are the only ones I'd call "sad" in flavor. The Big Mac tastes like little more than onions and Thousand Island.

Two McChickens, open both up upside-down, toss the bottom bun, add hot sauce, recombine for a double chicken. This thread, it was meant for me...

Screaming Idiot posted:Second one looks better, first one looks like photoshopped plastic. The cheese looks a bit grody, but that's because whomever took the picture probably let it get cold before opening the package. the top two patties on the first burger are just the same patty clone-tooled lol Idk how i feel about the "The ads show it like THIS, but when I opened it, it looked like THIS!!!" complaints most of the time. Like yeah when there's like two strings of onion or one of those really sad Subway pictures it makes sense, but often times it seems to me that people are taking issue that their food looks handled at all, like sorry your burg was in the bottom of the bag and got squished I'm sure it still tastes the same. I like Burger King even though I usually feel horrible about 30 min after I eat it. We used to know the people who worked at our local one pretty well, one guy was super nice to us, always asking how we'd been doing and stuff, seemed genuinely upset if our order turned out wrong, etc. I think he died in a car accident a few years ago

I hate subway because none of those Sandwich Autists can make me a delicious sandwich without asking me 1000 questions about what I want on it. I literally don't give a poo poo, make me a delicious sandwich. The only wrong answer is asking me more questions. If I knew how to make a delicious sandwich, would I be having you make me one? Probably not.

My wife and I are expats from Aus/NZ. We recently did a trip back home and decided to do a comparison of of fast food places, to see how they compared to what we remembered. The quality of maccas there is surprisingly good compared to the limp poo poo you get in the UK. You could actually taste some semblance of beef in the big Mac. And their 'deluxe' range weren't half bad. The US on the other hand, your nuggets don't even taste of anything. At least the UKs nuggets have some flavour (nothing else does tho).

Maccas was awful too, couldn't finish the burger in Singapore. So bad. Buuuuut, Hong-Kong's sausage breakfast burger is a delightful treat of nitrate laden pink 'pork'. I ate 3 of them while waiting for my flight.

At subway: "I'd like a _____, don't care what bread or what you put on it. I trust you can make a delicious sandwich." "Sorry, what kind of bread do you want? And what kind cheese? Toasted, veggies?" "gently caress I DON'T CARE!" "Sorry, that's not a veggie or a sauce we have." At places I like. "I'd like a sandwich. I don't care, I trust you can make something delicious." "Any allergies or anything?" "Nope." A few minutes later I have a delicious* sandwich. *not always delicious, but never bad. Just a difference in sandwich likes, which is fine. I still pay for it and eat it all the same.

Also it smells weird.
