McDonald's - I'm Lovin' It

[Xarpho's Return]

McDonkys gets all its shit shipped frozen and it's kept frozen until its cooked up, so only chance of rumblies in your tumblies there is from overall cleanliness of the kitchen equipment and whatever that excuse for meat is made of.

McDonald's meat is fine, it's usually just has all the juice and flavor squeezed out of it during cooking and handling (clamshell grills often will ruin meat). When I worked at Subway a lot of the meat that was mixed with teriyaki sauce or whatever was pre-cooked and I sometimes saw discolored meat (cannot confirm or deny mold) on it right out of the package, and then said meat was mixed with sauce before putting in the fridge. Your average wagie won't know or won't care to look at meat, whereas some third worlder will neither wear gloves or wash hands when mixing.

The produce was also bad too, tomatoes were either underripe or overripe, right out of the box, and that was a location that had marginally competent, somewhat honest management.

A McDonald's burger can at worst just result in a long bathroom break, a real food poisoning case can put you out of commission.

I guarantee you in every major food poisoning outbreak the actual numbers are way underreported.

 

[The Last Stand]

I had a bacon egg and cheese meal from Burger King. Way too salty and overcooked. Next day, I went to McDonald's for the same meal. They win fast food breakfast. Coffee was better too.

Why even eat at mcdonalds now anyways? They're not cheap and for basically the same price you can get an infinitely better burger at a local joint. Its not particularly fast anymore either nor does it taste good.

I have a local dive bar that has a $6 half-pound burger you can get with the works. It tastes like it's actually made out of beef unlike McDonald's which tastes like it's made out of ground toads.

I've only once thrown up from fast food. It was Long John Silver's "fish tacos." It wasn't even food poisoning, I was just so disgusted remembering eating it that it nauseated me.

Agreed. Only ever had mild, but definite poisoning from Subway and Red Lobster. Seafood prep and handling also takes utmost adherance to timing.

Just get their chicken. Fast Food chicken tends to always be edible at worst. It's why I love KFC

Even their chicken has gone to shit, as has KFC's. If I'm going to get chicken, I'll go to Chick-Fil-A or some local place. Last time I went to KFC a few years ago, it was somehow not only disgustingly greasy but dry at the same time, and had the texture of chewing pencil erasers.

Breaking McDick's news: some fat Welsh retard who used to work there "wrote" a manifesto that got him sent to the looney bin

mcdolan is only good if it's 4:00 AM and you need to get to the airport and don't want to spend $20 there for a somehow even worse bagel. also their frappes are pretty good since it's just pure sugar. if i want a burger im just gonna go a block further to the millenial hipster burger place that actually knows how to make good food that also doesn't make you wish you had just killed yourself instead.

Maccas Australia has a "World Menu Heist" special, featuring menu items from around the world. Notably the UK Philly Cheesesteak (thought that was American) and USA special edition GOLD SAUCE.

Decided against that gay shit and tried the Japanese teriyaki chicken burger for AUD$11, just look at this big boy:


Good shit, no spice but I can see why it's popular.

That’s insane. That burger looks like it at least came from a place too nice to have a drive-thru. It’s pretty fucked that people in countries other than where McDonald’s originated get decent-looking stuff like that and we mutts get Cultural Meme Slop Meal #6

They did a world promotion in 2019 with a few things including a chicken sandwich (I think it had pesto) and a European hamburger but the big problem with those sorts of things are lots of specialized ingredients they have to get, and the promotion didn't do especially well, which is why it's "safer" to get whatever manufactured celebrity the non-white zoomers are into these days (since 2024 they've backed off on that, but it used to be worse).

The real issue is that their culture changed and they don't let franchisees (the remaining ones that aren't owned by some scummy investment group) experiment with new items and ideas. In better times there used to be like 30-50 items that were available as options. The "Homestyle Burger" (then named the Texas Homestyle Burger) was one of them, and there were others, including a Johnsonville bratwurst on a bun and a Filet-O-Fish with Old Bay seasoning.

Iirc they had an Italian chicken sandwich that was better than BK’s. The Italian Chicken Sandwich was like the one FF item I regularly want and it was a seasonal thing forever until they finally killed it

I know it’s a fried chicken patty with marinara (well, “marinara”, really) and Parmesan. I know I could make a vastly superior version with 20 minutes and $5 by weight of ingredients. I also don’t give a shit. I want my freakwich

My favorite from that was the stroopwafel McFlurry.

I'm surprised they ever did? Entire premise is that there is some sort of level of "standard" and experimenting can go horribly wrong.

God, nothing is better after not eating for a few days that a 20pc with some fries.

I know tha McDonald's made some gilroy garlic fries that tasted pretty good. Only had one comeback after it's first debut.

It's also decent if you're doing a 24+ hour road trip and you don't want to stop at a sit-down restaurant or can't due to time constraints.

fucked up sleep schedule + midnight shift gave me no time to eat a good meal. Just some crackers and cheese sticks got me through until i fixed my sleep schedule.

Man, I feel you on that one. For some reason, McDonald's food feels as satisfying as crack.
