McDonalds anyone?

snowdog · 4 Apr 2011 at 23:20

I still like McD about once per 2 weeks, same with burger king, in the old days I used to love it every day, now it's more ''meh''.

I still DO love any kebab or shawarma place, could eat it every day ( especially a ''kapsalon'', Fries, topped with Doner kebab, topper with melted cheese, topped by veggies, topped by garlic sauce and sambal or any other hot sauce, also love turkish pizza's with shawarma or kebab depending on my mood). I love Thai food, I love KFC, I still love a portion of fries with mayo or saté. I love any dutch snackbar.

McD lost it for me, a big mac/quarter pounder/big tasty is nice I guess, but don't fancy one that often. McChicken is placed in a completely different league (read as ****tier league) by the zinger range of KFC ( Zinger, Zinger tower, Fire tower, etc)...

The only time I'm ever tempted by mcD's is for the curry sauce or strawberry milkshake. I know

Think it was more to do with the fact you ate too much and moved to little, not McD.
I'm about 5'6''/5'7'' and I've always weighed about 8 stones (+- 3kg) despite eating pretty much junkfood only ( KFC/kebab/fries/mcd/bk/snackbar at least once every day) for the past 2-3 years, McD has little to do with being fat, people just eat too much aside from it or do too little to burn energy.

Did you know that a big mac has a gurken in it just so it falls under the legal limit of sugar percentage content to not be classed as a dessert.

Did you know that you're talking absolute twaddle?

Fr0dders · 5 Apr 2011 at 16:28

haha thats definitely BS.

Like there is a legal definition of the term Dessert. Or even more so that it is based on sugar percentages.

Its amazing Mcdonalds is still in business, apparently nobody on the internet likes them.

I love them.
And Burger King.

And KFC.
Nomnomnom.

BenjiSayers · 5 Apr 2011 at 16:44

I don't mind the occassional one! Same goes for BK and KFC (although I always regret that one after)

I don't go out of my way to have it but I also don't go out of my way to avoid it. They still do the greatest Chicken Nuggets ever tbh.

I used to enjoy McDonalds, but as I got older I realized it's just salty greasy yuck. I much prefer the local takeaways.

Van Hellseek · 5 Apr 2011 at 18:58

Random fact: There are no MacDonalds in either Cambodia* or Vietnam.

*As of 2011.

silversurfer · 5 Apr 2011 at 19:02

Vietnam workers are paid less then even the Chinese. Also its communist and without the free capital policy of china I think.
Burma has mcdonalds?

People talk a lot of crap about Mcdonalds and co, the truth is it's fine in moderation and a lot of the worst things you hear are just scaremongering. I remember that absolutely awful documentary Supersize Me and thinking at the time what a lot of rubbish that was.

They're ok, I actually like them a bit less since they reduced the salt content on their fries, I know it's junk food, I know if I eat it for every meal it's not going to be great for me so when I do choose to eat it then just concentrate on making it taste as good (in terms of fast food) as possible.

2 double cheeseburgers is what I tend to go for these days.
Is what I think.

Van Hellseek · 5 Apr 2011 at 19:15

Aren't double cheeseburgers just the same as quarterpounders? The only difference I can tell between them is that quarter pounders have 1 large patty instead of 2 small. :confused:

440 cals in a dbl cheeseburger, versus 490 in a 1/4 pounder 26g protein vs 31g.

The ingredients are largely the same I guess but obviously quantity varies a bit.

If this is true I can stop blaming my mates missus for them having gurkens in, She's the only person I know who doesn't sling them out.

This is where I think I'm odd. I take them out of 1/4 lb'ers and big macs. However, big macs have them in the sauce, I like the sauce. So why do I take the slices out?!
