Rds1983 Posted December 4, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 4, 2020 Reading this I think I'm going to go buy some McDonald's... Shares. I don't eat there often and am usually disappointed when I do but used to love it. I wish they'd be a bit more imaginative with their Christmas specials. I am mean how hard is it to make a turkey and Cranberry sauce burger or something even slightly Christmas related... Bloody Jamaican Jerk Chicken burgers.

It was a horror show, much worse than you could get from a vending machine. I think it is better now but I've never tried it. The McDonald's coffee is better than Starbucks/Costa coffee because they clean their filters more regularly and use fresher grounds. It's true because TV told me about 8 years ago. But yea, the quality of coffee at McDonald's is meant to be higher than the coffee houses in most cases. McDonald's is alright, once a month type deal for me, but a meal doesn't fill me because I'm a greedy word removed. 5 guys I've been to three times, I had a hotdog the first time - that was ok, but overpriced for what is essentially a rollover hotdog. Burger the second time - absolutely shit - the bun was so great my fingers went through it like tissue, appalling. I then went a third time because others wanted it and I though it could have been a one off - nah - exactly the same, buns are atrocious, chips aren't seasoned and you get WAY too many of them, even if you order regular, not large. Pretty foul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I used to go for a large Big Mac meal, double cheeseburger, some of those cheese melt things rounded of with a volcanic apple pie. **** knows how many calories are in that lot, but it felt good eating it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is possibly better than McDonalds, but only by fine margins. Yet because the leave the skin on their fries and chuck half of them into the bag instead of the fries container they feel they can charge double the price. I don't mind paying more for quality but they are just pretending to be quality. The high quality burger place is Smash Burger IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s still basically a salty burger in a sugary bun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When she was in her 70s, my Mum used to make a point of going to McDonalds, purely for the coffee. Personally, I prefer Starbucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphabites or mini potatoe waffles with some beans Not even joking but I’m a 37 year old man and I still buy Potato Smiles, Fishfingers and occasionally Alphabites. I have no children, neither do I have any shame apparently. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
