As a guy who had to make all the eggs at McDonald's - we had to crack open real eggs. We had these little circle molds we dumped the egg into. Trying to crack like 12 eggs in a row in quick succession without making a mess was not fun.

I think the egg sleeve thing was something they stopped doing a decade or so ago.

I worked at a McDonalds in the late 90s and even then they were using real eggs for the McMuffins and a pre-scrambled mix for the other kind.

Taco Bell has a few extra fancy restaurants. They opened one in Las Vegas that also has beer.

I have one of those a bit down the street from me. You can get Baja Blast with one or two shots of vodka in it to go along with your crappy tacos. It really is pretty great.

Nah, Subway mixes the eggs into little pancakes and then stacks them and freezes them in a bag before they send them out.

Same. The scrambled eggs came in a paper carton like milk or juice. Though I'd still rather eat that than mcmuffin eggs, because I know at least myself as a dumb lazy teenager probably undercooked a good percentage of those eggs without really caring.

Sunny side up is the best egg. That or over easy. Both are underdone and awesome and no one should get sick from an underdone egg.

that's literally how you get salmonella (in the US). 80,000 cases annually just from specifically eggs. unless you mean "should" in a moral sense, because that's true I guess, since the only reason so many people get salmonella from eggs in the US is capitalism (there's no need to vaccinate the chickens if you instead just make it the consumers' fault for not cooking their eggs enough -- save your vaccination pennies! meanwhile in europe they do vaccinate their chickens and they don't have this problem)

Per capita consumption of eggs in the US is over 250/year. That's about 80 billion eggs consumed. That's a salmonella rate of .0001%.

I mean, sure, be concerned if you want. They do sell pasteurized eggs if you want them. Or if you have a sous vide cooker you can pasteurize your own. But if you play it dangerous and get over-easy or sunny-side up eggs down at the local diner, your odds are good.

Also: eating sushi and medium-rare burgers usually won't make you sick. And you can have my tamago gohan when you pry it from my cold dead hands.

Yeah, I should've been clear that I think actively being afraid of salmonella from eggs is pointless because the actual per capita rate is low but "no one should ever get sick from a runny egg" is demonstrably untrue because "80,000" and "no one" are not the same number, that's all. Just goony pedantry sorry

I worked at a McDonald's in the early 90s (like 91 when I was in high school) and back then they were using real eggs for the 'folded' Bacon Egg and Cheese Biscuit style, too. There was a rectangular metal frame that you'd pour the eggs into and then fold it into a square after it was done cooking. The carton seems like a better idea and less work, though.

Well, it's like the old saying goes:

"You have to break a few eggs to......have runny eggs."

Or something like that. The point is that the risk is worth the reward.

Not really a better thread for this - There's a business in England that I like the name of, called "Chocolate By Design", an artisan chocolate shop with elaborately molded confections. I just like the name because it implies the idea of Chocolate by Accident. "What happened to this cement we were making?" "I don't know but it smells delicious!"

Chicken is the meat replacement on most of the menu, but the menu really really doesnt match up well with the rest of the world. Its the single most unique menu in the McDonalds family, and by far the healthiest since meatless options make up the gaps where chicken wont do. Which made it a huge pain in the rear end to account for in global roll ups when I worked on the business.

Just go to the test kitchen in Illinois. They hire people daily to order meals in their modular store array to test all sorts of different elements, so for instance when I took the tour they were testing for Poland. In the back warehouse they have models/blueprints for basically every McDonalds ever so if say, need be, they could rebuild the Yugoslavia Winter Olympics McDonalds.

I wish McDonalds had more chicken options. gently caress, how about the spicy chicken sandwich as nuggets? That poo poo would be amazing.

Another add from an ex-golden arches employee: round eggs (mcmuffins, the old bagels) were regular eggs, the folded eggs were yolk-like batter that came from a carton. I preferred the latter, nothing like trying to pick shell out of those round bins.

I do remember being asked to make sure the eggs were always cooked, which seemed dumb to teenage Cowslips, as everything was on a timer and I never saw anything runny. But salmonella scares happen all the time (or people think they have it). I've been around reptiles my entire life so chances are I've had it by now. Would be funny if I got it from undercooked chicken after 30 years of handing turtles and snakes.

Marketing WTF: laser hair removal, okay, I get it, it runs on almost every radio station here so they must do great business. But there's a pregnant dj who was hired to run commercials, so what does the ad focus on? How hard it is for her, in her third trimester, to shave her legs. Because she is worried about what the doctors will think when she goes in to have her baby! I can't imagine the focus group for that.
