Could this be the end of Mcdonalds?

[spog]

Gunna be a lot of pissed off cops about the place

The McShit near my place is always packed with kids and adults alike. I suspect the franchise owners are raking it in and aren't too worried about profits being down in the US&A.

They are like Bunnings & masturbation.....no one ever admits it </chop>

I admit that I have been shopping at Bunnings. They have cheap TSP for my SS fermentor.

Those sugar laden buns and chips....

...and those Sugar buns, Ooops, I think I'm admitting to the other one you mentioned.
Hey, no one judges beer if they're not honest...

I'd have a bit of sympathy for them if I'd ever seen them booking all the pricks that throw bagfulls of McDonalds crap out their car windows.

Y do they panda to the health nuts, that don't eat there anyway.
I yous to go there for the french fries, now I DON'T go there because of the french fries.
If the burgers shrink any more they will disappear up there own assent.

I reckon we need something like http://www.in-n-out.com/ in Australia.

They've only got about 4 things on the menu.

No pampering to the healthy there.

As with all fast food meals in the US they come with a bucket size cup of coke.

No more stereotypical obese yanks ?

Double double animal style... mmmmmmmm

I will fess to the occasional big mac craving when hungry and succumb maybe once or twice a year.

But I do have regrets after eating it. Maybe because I watched "Supersize me". Tells it all.

I am in the realization of how we evolved for over a million years on foods before refrigerators were invented.

 

[spog]

Food in refrigerators ! Here I am thinking they were invented to keep beer cold.

 

[manticle]

I shop at bunnings all the time.
Mostly shelving units and timber for work, occasional accessories like door latches, potting mix. List goes on.

Never, ever tools though.

Can't remember the last time I ate maccas. Give me a real burger. You could eat 5 of those soggy plastic cheeseburgers and still be hungry.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Local take away does awesome hamburgers for $7...including egg...flat out eating them they are that big

Same volume as 10 Big Macs

 

[Benn]

I reckon Maccas have been sneaking their prices up without me noticing, the last couple of times we took the people mover throug the drive through it cost nearly $40 for the 5 of us and that's just for their standard Mc ****. It's the same as the local chicken shop or fish n chip joint. I'd rather give my money to the small business.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Not only that, the size has been shrinking

 

[Benn]

Imagine the "nutrition panel" on an old school Quarter Pounder, Elvis would have been foaming over that ****.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

Being able to grab a 'mccafe' coffee from the drive through on the way to work is great, the kids make a half decent cappuccino these days.

2.2 hrs of sensationalist shockumentary dramatized horse ****. Still cant believe this drivel was nominated for an Academy award for 'Best Documentary feature'. Documentary? Really? If that means a case study into how actual science and research is not done, then I guess it deserves it. Seems Spurlock graduated from the Michael Moore school of film making. Look up the Illinois University docco Portion Size Me for a far more balanced approach to the subject of fast food and health. Eat 5000 cals of any food per day whilst sitting on your arse and watch your weight skyrocket and health markers plummet. He could just as easily gone after Subway or the local kebab shop.
There is nothing intrinsically wrong with the food. If you're stupid enough to wash down Big Macs with sugary 1000 cal plus thickshakes aon a daily basis you deserve all arterial plaque and type 2 diabetes you get.

McDonald's isn't about winning Michelin stars for its food any more than Star Wars is about accurately portraying the physics interstellar travel and robotics, its about marketing and franchising.
Thats said, if I'm on the run, hungry and have a fist full of change in the console, two or three chicken & mayo burgers are looking alright.
