Aside from the occassional McFlurry on a hot day, it's been over a year and a half since I last ate at McDonald's. Why bother when I know where nicer food is just as fast and cheap?

McDonald's is a terrible place to eat for anything other than their Chicken McNuggets - that is their sole redeeming value.

I like McDonalds

Whenever I'm there I order McNuggets or a few Cheeseburgers
Some years ago they had a Mexican month (or how long it took... maybe it was 2 months?) where they had a special Mexican menu which I just loved. During that month I came there twice per week, didn't gain any weight at all
If they would just make that menu a standard menu I would defently come there more often (at the moment it's in the other end of town so I only go there if someone drives)... sadly they wont make that menu again... I miss it

I like McDonald, if the interior weren't this darn ugly and if it wouldn't be so full of noisy people I wouldn't mind eating there.

The local McDonald's interior looks nice and it being a small town I live in there's usually not that many people in there, and so far I've never been disturbed by noisy people

The nuggets? They had an advertising campaign over here where the tag was "McDonald's Nuggests, now made with chicken breast".

What in the name of all powerful merciful Zeus were they made with before?

I am aware that he is a scary ass clown; since he symbolizes McDonald's the most in my mind (even more than the golden arches), I chose to use him as my example.

My old English Teacher used to work on the night shift at McDonalds, and there was a rivalry going on between the nighters and the dayers, so the nighters decided to hide hamburgers around the kitchen to annoy them. So, they put up a sign under the counter, which said "You have 2/3/4 hamburgers to find today" and each burger would have a sticker on its wrapping saying "Haha" or a or something else.

Anyway, when they were cleaning one night a year or so after this had been stopped by the management, they found a hamburger perfectly wrapped in the corner behind a cooker (which the day-staff obviously didn't find). so they unwrapped it...

...and the burger was in perfect condition.

Only at service stations...the other food there is just as bad and considerably overpriced so they have a bit of a captive market. McDonalds tend to have a consistent pricing policy across the country, even at service stations...otherwise I wouldn't eat there by option...

Yeah, that is probably the best course of action if you think of things like that in advance. It is just this country has the worst service stations in existence. I've been to them in France or Portugal and they are far superior...

That reminds me of a biochemistry practical where we had to test sugars and they put out the usual suspects: fructose, glucose, lactose, sucrose, maltose but the technician decided to be funny and put romanose and comatose in there too

By "noisy people", I mean "kids".

I love children, just not at a McDonald's. It brings out the worst in them.

But to be fair, it's been several years since the last time I ate at one so things may have changed.

I don´t eat at McD´s it tastes like crap. And they don´t even have veggie burgers anymore, not that it matters though. They tasted like crap also... I´ve stopped eating at Burger King also, the last time I ate there I got a serious case of diarrhea. I´m having it my way, as far away from BK as possible...
