Can we talk about McDonalds?

[I'm_Tired]

Why is that place still popular in 2023?

It takes about 3 meals to make me full and that would cost $40. McValue bundle targeted for family is a scam.

I can barely feel anything after eating a fish or big mac meal that doesn't taste like a food and it gross me out knowing I still feel empty. It also gross me out seeing full of high school teenagers running things in there. I just don't trust them.

Whereas, a typical $9 greasy thick meal from a local burger or a kebab joint will instantly make me satisfied and bloated. I know for a small family business, it is important to make the food to their highest standard to keep their place afloat.

So, if I wanted to destroy my guts, it would be from a burger, kebab or a pizza joint.

Yet, every time I drive or walk past McDonalds, it is always packed and the drive thru always have 5+ cars in there. WTF? They truly must have an awful taste.

Why would anyone eat tasteless processed garbage from McDonalds to begin with?

It's more common then other ff places and the dining room is more often open then others as well, meaning you *don't need either a several thousand dollar car that requires a driving privilege and several regular costs or a several hundred dollar phone that requires a monthly data fee (where you will usually have a delivery fee and don't get me started on the tipping culture around those services) in order to get a $10-$20 meal.

*I think I read somewhere that my City made all places with drive-thru's legally required to accept peds but I'm too socially awkward to try it and am not suicidal enough to get between the cars.

I usually go when I'm walking somewhere and they are on the way. It tastes good, is cheap, and the extra calories were either burned on the way there or will be burned in the mile-ish walk back to my residence.

Likely because people like the place and food. Don't forget, people who aren't you like other things. And that's fine.

We usually go to the snackbar, sometimes we get something from the McD. It's tasty enough and it makes the kids happy to go there. I usually get a fishfilet burger and a chili chicken. I also like a McFlurry.

Has nothing with McDonald's that you are a gluttonous. Has no limit what you will eat.

I've been to McDonald in France and Germany and can say that the quality is varying within each countries some MCDonalds are better than others, but usually Burger King is slightly better not by much though.

McD's thinks there a 5 star restaurant and forgot they are a fast food restaurant

$8.50 CAD for a big mac is ridiculous
$4.50 CAD for a sausage McMuffin

There hamburgers are thin and dry and there secret sauce and other toppings hide that taste

The only time my family went out of the US was in 2012 and we went to a couple McDonald's in Italy, France, and the UK. I don't remember them being particularly better/worse then the ones in the US butthe menu was different enough for me to not be able to get what I usually do and I think the UK allowed you to substitute fries with potato wedges if you wanted which is 100% something we need to adopt in the US.

It is $16.89 for Big Mac combo meal in Connecticut.

I dunno maybe it's a local thing but yeah in the city i live in France Mcdonald quality isn't actually the same depending on the spot you go. The center is usually heavily populated so i think that's probably why because the staff can't keep up.

It all depends on the location. The McDonald's here in my town the hamburgers are not greasy. Now Wendy's bugers have grease just dripping off them the whole bun is just soaked with grease and when you squeeze them you get like 1/3 cup of grease out of the bun at Wendy's.

Your diet is extremely poor if you still feel you need to eat after 3 meals at McDonalds. I suspect dehydration or a lack of fiber or a lack of vitamins from many vegetables you should also be eating daily.

A good McDonalds is amazing, but finding a good one is tough.
