Title: My mixed feelings about McDonalds
Post by: CAPTAIN NOBODY on May 21, 2023, 07:03:11 AM
I think it just depends on which one you go to. The one closer to my house is trash. If you go about 3 miles north that location is better for some reason. So I have mixed feelings about that fast food chain.

Other than the quarter pounder and fries it’s really not much worth spending money on there especially with how expensive that shit is. $11 for a meal is a ludicrous price from a place like mcdonalds but it has made me try more local restaurants that give you much better meals for the same price shoutout Chicken Fiesta.

Best fries

Pound for pound, Five Guys fries are cheaper and much better.

$4.19 for large fries at McDonald’s! Compare that to $5.55 for regular fries at Five Guys. You basically get two potatoes worth and malt vinegar and peanuts!!!

I like Macca's just fine. My rule for when I go anywhere is just get what they're known for and probably won't fuck up.
People that go to McDonald's for salads or get their kids happy meals with a water, sliced apple and the plain pasta are fukn weird tho

The app is where it’s at.

The offers have fallen off big time lately.  Used to always get free fries and cheap combos, lately it’s just bullshit like “Get a Big Mac meal at any Walmart McDonald’s for $10!”

Here’s a little hack though for you guys with small appetites and wallets.. get a crispy ranch snack wrap happy meal with the small fries and kids sized coke.  It would cost you way more to order those items separately from the adult menu.

Both of these are true. I’m a coffee fiend (5+ cups a day minimum) and need to slam at least a couple before I go skating. The $1 large iced coffee on the app is a godsend in the muggy east coast summer.

Also I had a phase one summer where I would do calisthenics for hours on vyvanse and eat like three mcdoubles after. My dick grew almost a whole inch it was crazy. Bovine growth hormone is tight

McDonald's is comfort food for me because of all the childhood memories eating there. But I too have mixed feelings about it. When I eat there now it's usually not as good as I remember it being as a kid. And I agree with other posters that the overseas McDonald's are usually better. They keep their restaurants cleaner and have unique menu options that are pretty good.

Also, beef tallow made for a much much better French fry. Super Size me kinda fucked up McDonald’s game.

People with pretty demanding work schedules. I don't often eat at McDonalds, but once every few months I find myself there after a particularly long workday; hour drive to and from plus 14+hrs of work. There's a McDonalds at the end of my street. I genuinely like McGriddles and hash browns even though I only ever get them a few times a year

Your first comment blasphemy. Your second comment true. In N Out legendary. Incredible how cheap it is for the quality of food you get. Simple menu, fresh, +  consistency.

It's fucked that McDonald's didn't disclose its fries' beef ingredients TWICE! I'm not vegetarian, but I have vegan friends who basically can only get the fries when we all decide to go to McDonald's. It's almost like a betrayal: they felt an odd mixture of shame, guilt, anger, despair… but maybe that was just the beef juice.

Plus this direction McDonald's is pursuing where they're making burgers "to order" or whatever the fuck—it just doesn't have that same sitting-under-the-heat-lamp je ne sais quoi.

McDonald's was my first legit job as a teen (I used my first paycheck to buy a pair of Gazelles and a Planet Earth deck); my favorite part was hauling all the older burgers that have been sitting under the lamp for hours over to the dumpsters. You best believe I was clandestinely munching those bad boys in the slimy, dark garbage room. Sure, they gave me $3.45 credit to use for food per shift (the "Extra Value Meals" were $2.99 back then), but your boy was hungry.

The fries are absolute ass. They have the texture of cardboard. The “secret menu” is some pretentious BS. If the burgers aren’t any good unless they’re “animal style” then just offer a better burger. I don’t get fast food because I want something fresh, I know I’m eating junk food. And it is THE most over hyped fast food chain ever. People cannot shut up about InNoUt bro. Hard pass lol.

factory farming makes it pretty easy to hate all fast food chains

The dude down the street from me raises cows for his family and runs a farm shop. He puts em down himself with a gun. Sometimes he let's his kids do it, family farm in all. There terrible shots. You can peice together the rest.

Not saying there's anything ethical about factory farming but 9/10 times escpially in this economy the mom and pop farm is doing far worse, its just on a smaller scale, so people like you don't care. When in reality atleast the folks raising cattle for.mdconalds can afford to feed them, and medicate them, and when it's time to cull them they die quickly and not after 6 shots of a rifle from a 10 year old.

It's fine.
I'll occasionally stop for a quarter pounder or some chicken nuggets if I'm tired and don't feel like cooking or driving very far.
Sure, there are better places to get burgers, but there are two McDonald's less than 5 minutes from my house.
I could go to 5 Guys or Shake Shack (or a better local place) but those are all at least 15 minutes away.
Sub-10 minute round trip vs 30 minute round trip is an easy decision when you're exhausted and just want to not be hungry anymore.

In my whole life I don't think I've ever met someone who is outspoken about their love for McDonald's.
I have, however, met countless people who go out of their way to be like "ugh, you're eating McDonald's. Disgusting."
It's the fast food equivalent of someone who goes out of their way to tell you they don't own a TV by choice.

In N Out might be the most overrated fast food chain of all time.

People who brag about not eating McDonalds are 100% insufferable. I haven’t had a banana in a month but you don’t see me bragging about it lol.

It’s a guilty pleasure for me from time to time, but I try to not eat it much in general, because it’s unhealthy and increasingly expensive.

Agreed. In N Out is garbage wrapped in bible verses. Fuck outta here with that shit.

I'm curious about the McPlant, can any fellow meat eaters speak on its comparative deliciousness?

I try to limit how many times I go to McDonald's in a month and I really don't wanna waste one of those visits on a McPlant if its vile.

I love the McPlant. Tried it once and never ate meat again at a McDonald's or BK since. (veggy Whopper is pretty good too)

It's fucked that McDonald's didn't disclose its fries' beef ingredients TWICE! I'm not vegetarian, but I have vegan friends who basically can only get the fries when we all decide to go to McDonald's. It's almost like a betrayal: they felt an odd mixture of shame, guilt, anger, despair… but maybe that was just the beef juice.

Plus this direction McDonald's is pursuing where they're making burgers "to order" or whatever the fuck—it just doesn't have that same sitting-under-the-heat-lamp je ne sais quoi.

McDonald's was my first legit job as a teen (I used my first paycheck to buy a pair of Gazelles and a Planet Earth deck); my favorite part was hauling all the older burgers that have been sitting under the lamp for hours over to the dumpsters. You best believe I was clandestinely munching those bad boys in the slimy, dark garbage room. Sure, they gave me $3.45 credit to use for food per shift (the "Extra Value Meals" were $2.99 back then), but your boy was hungry.

Reminds me of when I bussed tables, we would get so hungry that we would chow down on people's leftover food at the dishwashing station. Now when I think of it, it really grosses me out.

factory farming makes it pretty easy to hate all fast food chains
[close]

The dude down the street from me raises cows for his family and runs a farm shop. He puts em down himself with a gun. Sometimes he let's his kids do it, family farm in all. There terrible shots. You can peice together the rest.

Not saying there's anything ethical about factory farming but 9/10 times escpially in this economy the mom and pop farm is doing far worse, its just on a smaller scale, so people like you don't care. When in reality atleast the folks raising cattle for.mdconalds can afford to feed them, and medicate them, and when it's time to cull them they die quickly and not after 6 shots of a rifle from a 10 year old.

"oh you think factory farming is bad? have you considered my neighbors are a family of mentally disabled farmers?"

I will only really go to Maccies if it's the only place around and I'm fucking starving. So like airports and shit, same with a lot of fast food joints.

I will say, Maccas fries aren't my favourite. Way too thin and weirdly slimey imo. Don't they fry them shits in like beef fat or something? Or is that a rumor?

In Belgium, you traditionally fry fries in beef fat
that's just how it is

Did you eat the stuff that someone clearly also took a bite of?  Or did you eat stuff that you could tell they didn’t touch?

There’s a big difference there and I don’t see the issue with chowing down on food that just sat on a plate in front of a stranger for a half hour.  Especially if I got a look at the people.

100% chance nothing bad happened to you either way.

Bacteria and viruses are all over everything we touch and eat anyways, it’s not like if food sits in front of someone it turns into nuclear waste.  Scarf that shit down. 

Once society crumbles, we’ll be slitting each other’s throats for a cup and a half of week-old cole slaw.  We’ll forget all about our made up food rules.

My personal opinion is that everything at McDonald's tastes like cardboard... or it tastes "old" (regardless of the burger)
even if its fresh off the grill

MOS actually tastes like hamburgers... and it aslo tastes "Fresh"... eg: at MOS the lettuce is actually shaki shaki not soggy

my personal favorites are the little hamburger joints... is it the same in the states... do the little mom & pop places taste the best???

They changed the bun, it’s just better, and they add more sauce. Also the onions are cooked on the burger now and the cheese isn’t a cold slice, it’s kind of melted more. the changes are subtle but it was enough to notice. Had i noticed if I didn’t know already? Who knows? Better burger though.

i pretty much feel the same. i neither love nor hate maccas, i dislike the concept of all chain fast food basically, but i'm not above going to the one close to my house if i just don't have anything at home, which rarely happens anyway. i don't even think it's that bad, pretty much all fast food is unhealthy, they all fucking suck. mc donalds actually tastes consistently decent tho. but it's never really good. i guess the main highlight of a german mc donalds is that mcribs are available all the time and i heard it's generally pretty good compared to other countries. i had it in the netherlands, czechia and france, and to me it tasted all the same.

now five guys also came to germany and i went there and was pretty disappointed, especially the fries. my fries were soggy as fuck, like they skipped the second fry. they put an extra bunch of fries into the doggybag, as they do, i appreciated that effort for sure. but they just weren't done imo. the burger was ok, but basically tasted like a slightly better mcdonalds cheeseburger. i would say it was like that, but way bigger and with slightly fresher ingredients. and that burger was more than ten bucks. and if you forced me at gunpoint to spend ten bucks on cheeseburgers, i'm sorry to say that i will rather take three mc doublecheeseburgers over a single five guys doublepatty cheeser. it's just not that much better. but i might as well buy a pack of marlboro reds instead and just not eat.

nowadays burgers usually make me feel sick, even if they were very good. just hard to stomach and often goes along with too much soda consumption. i'm not a big fan of them anymore and have become too lazy and unexcited about them to cook any at home anymore.

theres a sort of documentary talking about maccas trying to spread in France and failing miserably because they were seen as a cheap disgusting place for bums, so they completely revamped and invented a luxury fast food concept and then it took off like crazy, might be different in other eu countries but its pretty interesting

Re: mom and pop spots

I suppose that they are better.

In general, I feel like the price of the burger is a better indicator of the quality. So, a 16 dollar burger at a sit down restaurant is probably better than the burger at a take out mom and pop place.

The fancy hamburger is modern humans biggest mistake. Places are taking huge liberties with a meal an 8 year old can make perfectly. Biggest gripe with the expensive burger seems to be nobody that makes them has seen a human head before and doesn't realise our jaws don't unhinge like a pythons and can't eat their burgers that have the same dimensions as a coke can

nah man the world has moved past those behemoth sized overpriced burgers.  $16 dollar burgers (if you're at a good spot) usually means they've got a specific recipe to the meat blend like short rib, brisket, chuck, bacon etc all coming together.  This one was $16 or so from Heavy Handed and was easily the best burger of my life

Yeah I can’t lie the boujee midteen dollar burger spots usually are well worth the money. Had easily the best burger I’ve ever eaten at this place called Beauvine it’s the type of place where you look at the check and immediately regret it but still come back time after time. And the luxury of building your own burger from way higher quality ingredients is worth it imo.

Dam where I'm from isn't quite there yet. What you've described would cost like $35 when we eventually get it lol

Bruh what fucking country do you live in where this is 35 euros like wha-?

i pretty much feel the same. i neither love nor hate maccas, i dislike the concept of all chain fast food basically, but i'm not above going to the one close to my house if i just don't have anything at home, which rarely happens anyway. i don't even think it's that bad, pretty much all fast food is unhealthy, they all fucking suck. mc donalds actually tastes consistently decent tho. but it's never really good. i guess the main highlight of a german mc donalds is that mcribs are available all the time and i heard it's generally pretty good compared to other countries. i had it in the netherlands, czechia and france, and to me it tasted all the same.

now five guys also came to germany and i went there and was pretty disappointed, especially the fries. my fries were soggy as fuck, like they skipped the second fry. they put an extra bunch of fries into the doggybag, as they do, i appreciated that effort for sure. but they just weren't done imo. the burger was ok, but basically tasted like a slightly better mcdonalds cheeseburger. i would say it was like that, but way bigger and with slightly fresher ingredients. and that burger was more than ten bucks. and if you forced me at gunpoint to spend ten bucks on cheeseburgers, i'm sorry to say that i will rather take three mc doublecheeseburgers over a single five guys doublepatty cheeser. it's just not that much better. but i might as well buy a pack of marlboro reds instead and just not eat.

nowadays burgers usually make me feel sick, even if they were very good. just hard to stomach and often goes along with too much soda consumption. i'm not a big fan of them anymore and have become too lazy and unexcited about them to cook any at home anymore.

the marlboro reds part is so real, i've had that dilemna so many times

I went to McDo last night, they don't have the apple pies here in France so just left. I think it was the first time I've been to one in 10+ years.

Wish I could

The breakfast here in Portugal consists of a croissant, a cheese and ham toasted sandwich or the McMuffin

And the McMuffin only offers one option: bacon, cheese and egg

Think I'm too old to eat shit like McDonalds now. Sometimes if I'm really hungry about 4 and know I'm struggling to make it to dinner I'll stop and get a single cheeseburger as a snack but I feel awful after if I get a full set-up

Last time I had a full meal from Mcdogshit was 2010 and I felt like absolute ass afterwards.

I’m not going to say that I’m above fast food when I’m starving but McDonald’s I’m too cool for.
