I wonder if I should eat them or rub them on my head.

If my last bout with McDonald's food is indicative, it might be healthier to rub them in your hair.

Kids had the 6 year old grand son's birthday party at McDs Saturday. I tried one of their fancy burgers. It was mostly edible and didn't cause me any gastric distress so I call that a win.

Everyone knows he was actually eating a hearty meal of souls of middle class DACA children. You can get those in 10 packs. Like Chicken McNuggets.

Those are great if you can get the liberal tears dipping sauce to go with them.

I can actually relate to his "clean" remark. When on road trips, sometimes I'm in an area where I look around and see the fast food joint as my best option for both cleanliness and for getting an, if mediocre, at least "standard" meal. I can pretty much count on McD's tasting about the same wherever I am, and being somewhat agreeable to my digestive system, especially if I'm not near a bathroom.

Though as much as I like McD's fries, I usually skip them and instead of getting the #3 or whatever, pay a little more and substitute a second smaller burger for the fries, just to help keep the belt buckle in the same hole. :)

A couple of years ago I read where Taco Bell was rated cleanest in an official ranking. I was surprised. I don't particularly like McD's but they're tolerable enough and numerous enough that I usually end up getting a kid's cheeseburger and one of their crappy 0.0002% milks or a senior coffee on my erranding. No fries, no nuthin' else.

Actually, my favorite of the fast food places is Wendy's.

I'm kind of neutral on Burger King. Others are below that.

About the only thing I ever get from McDonald's is their sausage biscuit and hash brown. Under $2 and filling enough to keep my stomach from grumbling. For lunch, I would take Whataburger or Chick-fil-a over McDonald's any day of the week.

I lived on McDonald's for a year, was healthy. I still eat it but limit myself to $5 or less, ice tea or no drink and usually no fries. Of course they are cleaner than real restaurants. Minimal raw prep, very standardized storage and holding systems and a company wide training program. Just stay away from the dairy machines. At any restaurant. I have sanitized many a soda, juice, and powdered coffee machine and I can assure you that the average employee has no clue. Back on clean, at real restaurants you eat off their plates. I have also fixed more than a few commercial dishwashers, sanitary there takes committed and smart people.

Every couple of weeks I'll treat myself to some sausage burritos for breakfast to break up the monotony of cereal every morning.

My absolute kryptonite, though, are the fish sandwiches. I absolutely loved the damned things.

RoadKingLarry · « **Reply #17 on:** February 08, 2018, 07:28:27 AM »

Do they have actual fish in them?

K Frame · « **Reply #18 on:** February 08, 2018, 07:42:50 AM »

Don't know, don't care. They're awesome.

I read a book about this; the McFish has the finest Alaskan pollock in them.

K Frame · « **Reply #20 on:** February 08, 2018, 09:09:32 AM »

Still don't care. They're still awesome.

Pollock maybe considered a lower-level fish, but it's a tasty fish. It's my preferred go to when cod isn't available.

The Filet O Fish sandwiches were invented at the McDonald's that is 2.5 miles from my house. The area that I live in was extremely heavily Catholic at the time and the McDonald's operator would see a drop off in his sales/revenue on Friday's (through out the year) and especially during Lent. He decided he needed to do something about it. Ray Crock was not to keen to the idea at first.

That's why McDonald's tried the Aloha burger. Something to keep the mackerel snappers coming in during Lent.

A grilled pineapple "burger" with cheese? What could possibly go wrong (except for projectile vomiting)?

Thank God in the head to head competition between the two (yep, they had one, to determine which one would become a permanent menu item) the fish sammich won.

So we have the papists to thank for the Filet-o-Fish?

When I was a kid we still practiced "fish Fridays" ( being a Cafeteria Catholic, I just do it on Good Friday now

). My mom would often get me to participate by taking me to McDs for the Filet-O-Fish.

When I do go to McDs, it's still one of my favorite things on the menu. Often, referring to my "smaller burger" reference above, my order is a Quarter Pounder and a Filet-o-fish (or two). Or if I hit them on a Friday (don't know if they do this everywhere), Two for $5.
