Who the fuck is still eating at McDonald's? I mean, obviously a lot of people, but why? It's not good and it's not cheap. Maybe food deserts? I can get a better burger and fries and drink from a local place cheaper and faster (if I still bought meat, anyway)

There was a leak of all of the original McDonalds recipies a while ago called the McMenu.

They use a process in their burgers calling "Q"ing, where they let everything in the burger get to the same tempurature.

You know what I look for in a burger? Warm lettuce and a lukewarm patty.

I've been wondering this for most of my life. That shit is barely even food.

Sometimes it was definitly the best deal. But other times my partner and I started ordering 2 happy meals each so outrlittle one could get more toys.

I'm pretty sure you can just buy the toys

Joeffect@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y

You can, but it's priced so you just want to buy the happy meal anyway... I got an extra during the mini McDonald's they had recently and it was 4 maybe 3 bucks for just the toy

Have you seen the prices on adult meals?
