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

Seems legit.

I wonder what foodbabe will do with this.

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.

FAKE NEWS PHOTO!
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. :laugh:
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.
-
Do they have actual fish in them?
-
Don't know, don't care. They're awesome.
-

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

Yep.
Well, actually, we have blatant, evil capitalism to thank for the FoF.

Yep, that was SOP at my school in the 1970s-80s. Fish sandwiches at lunch. And, believe it or not, the fish sandwiches we had were incredibly good, even better than MickyD's.

Here in Seattle, the home of most of the Alaskan fishing fleet, we respect the pollock. Lots and lots of money in pollock.

We were brought up to believe that eating meat on a Friday was actually a mortal sin. True or not, that's the way it came across, like not going to church on Sunday.
So when that was finally relaxed, in my mid-20s, my first thought was of all those souls who would be released from Hell. That was when I found out after all those years that it wasn't a mortal sin anyhow. I felt cheated somehow. This thing purports to explain it:

All I recall about McD fries was that they used to be good cat bait. I tried it, and sure enough, my kitties went nuts over them. Flash forward some years and tried it again. The cats turned up their noses. I suspect it may have been some "healthier" recipe. I haven't bought any recently to get a cat's reaction.

Additional data point. Two out of three of my cats went bonkers over black olives. Just like it was a strong catnip. The third cat, a Siamese, pretty much ignored the olives except to kind of experimentally bat them around a little but otherwise "meh."
So it would appear that some veggie things can affect some cats (not that McD's chefs knew or cared about this) and they took it out of later revisions of their burgers for other reasons.
Wasn't it McD which advertised some kind of "secret sauce" a long time ago? Or was that another burger outfit? I seem to recall some kind of jingle which referred to a secret sauce.
(I've mentioned this peculiar behavior before. Of the cats, not the chefs.)
