    Lol at the thumbnail showcasing McDonalds, which ran TWO separate PR campaigns for the Trump regime, and is thus one of the single most anti-American brands in existence.

    Don’t give McDonalds another cent, ever. There are plenty of other option to get your greasy heart attack fix.

      There was that franchise owner who invited Trump to pretend to make fries and serve fake guests, but what was the other event?

        The other one was less directly McDonalds - it was the focus, but involved other trash fastfood chains as well. Anyway, it was when Trump reenacted that scene from Kingsmen where the villain serves shit McDonalds burgers with a fancy presentation to one of the protagonists. Trump’s target was a college sports team that were invited to the the whitehouse for a dinner event.

        In all fairness, this was WAY more driven by Trump specifically, so I didn’t take an issue with McDonalds (for political reasons at least - their food is still shit) until the photo-op event you mentioned, but the latter adds enough nefarious context to the former to go ahead and assume McDonalds supports those terrorists.

        Their food was was always horrible, but it was cheap, and that combo worked for me. Now they cost the same better quality restaurants, so I go there instead. I haven’t eaten at a McDonald’s since 2002-ish. Are you saying their food somehow got even worse?

          Cheap but horrible food has never been worth it to me. When I was a broke teen and up until college, my friends and I would go to McDonald’s for food but I only get the paprika-seasoned twisty fries in my country, chicken wrap, apple pie and the occasional cheeseburger. They were the only good McDonald’s food. Now, cheeseburger has gone shit and so is the chicken wrap. The apple pie is still good but I could get better alternative somewhere else. And the twisty fries had been taken off the menu. The only reason I remained going to McDonald’s until recently was because their breakfast menu was great. But as you guessed it, it became horrible as well.

          Same here it’s been a decade or 2. I started making my own version of the McMuffin at home. Cant beat deli ham, brown eggs and real brick cheese with real maple syrup on a whole wheat English muffin. Takes less than 10 mins while the hash browns are also cooking in the air fryer. I noticed when I ate McSmegs I was hungry about 1/2 hr later. 2-3 hrs with home made.
