Same guy that starred in "Super size me"
Apparently, even bacteria doesn't recognise it as food!!!

I've never noticed variation in portion size from State to State either. McDonalds appears to be the same wherever you go - East Coast or West.
I'm definately not into the whole food tourism thing so tend to eat far too many McDonalds etc when I go over there, so I'd have noticed
Well, that is how I would understand it, but, as I say, having asked, they percieve them different from state to state.
I've seen reasonably large / full Big macs in Scotland yet served a scrawny mess of one @ Clacket Lane on the M25, each restauraunt varies, sometimes considerably. - perhaps they have the same thing over there?

Then it would say 'Varies by State' on the website if they were different. They are the same - it's the point in McDonalds.
Because Bob at Claket Lane cannot be bothered and doesnt put enough Salad into it, yet Fred elsewhere loves his job and stuffs loads of Salad in - just natural process variation, not a different policy depending on region.
The only differences in McDonalds products are from national market to national market.

there food is truly disgusting.
i first went to the US in 2001 and for years had always heard ''oh the portions are massive, you only need to order one meal and you can share it, oh the food they waste' etc. utter nonsense, i've eaten in various places in the US and the portions are the same over there as they are here and mcdonalds meals are the same too apart from drinks and fries differ in ratio.

I remember went the McFlurry first came out when I was in America and it was about the size of a medium drink here 
When they brought them out here they were a lot smaller, thank god.

I typically go to Mcdonalds about once a month, I never get a Big Mac though (not for many years) because they just don't seem as filling as some of the other junk.
Years ago (mid `90s) they used to have the "Mega Mac" or double Big Mac I think it was called in the US - good times. Also they used to serve root beer on tap as well - YUM.

The only thing 'unnatural' in that video are the McD fries, I guess they have just died up and the oil is stopping the bacteria from getting in.
whats the point in having different sizes for drinks if you can keep refilling anyway?
to go

Hummm I am calling bs on the special sauce/wink scenario... You have watched too much of Harold and Kumar
Er, what! Yes I did. I am not saying there was anything in the sauce it was just off putting. It happened in Mcdonalds's in Northampton when I was working away from home around 6-7 years ago. I was working on a night shift re-vamping B&Q stores and went to Mcdonalds on the way to work for a quick meal. The guy didn't do a kind of dirty wink it was more of a cheeky wink as if he knew I would get the joke. Maybe he had been watching Harold and kumar (I have never seen them, I just had to google them). I also don't have any books on urban legends

depends on the person tbh, for some it may not be huge for others it might be, the reason why some people could eat 3 a day and still not be fat whilst someone else could eat 1 a day and become fat
free cheeseburgers? do you have like 1000 vouchers or something?
Where did you get one? I was in both california and New England and couldn't find an McDonalds that sold milkshakes!
