McDonald’s general discussion

[Ayahuasca]

Is it just a triple quarter? Or thinner patties?

They're the thicker patties, not quite sure if they're the same as the quarter pounder, think they're smaller in circumference.

Double quarter is pushing it in terms of meat for me so I'll give this one a pass then

 

[Kenai]

The nutrition information would suggest it's not a patty shared with anything else based on the calories displayed

Hat Trick 1888 or 629 per patty
Quarter P 966 per patty
Cheeseburger or Big Mac 388 per patty

If you assume the calories is directly equivalent to meat content, then it's about the same as a Double Quarter Pounder

Reckon most of the customers of these delivery companies suffer from only one disability - lazitius.

My friend who works at a supermarket got an order for £119 on JE. Her and a couple of colleagues reckoned if they ordered through the supermarket website for delivery later on - if order before 4pm, earliest delivery is about 6:30pm would have cost them about £82 with the delivery charge (JE order was placed just after 2pm). A litre of vodka is £5.50 more on JE than the supermarket, Friend's workplace does not do online shopping for those who order through supermarket website or app. That's another store 5 miles away.

What's criminal is the additional costs applied to goods via the likes of Uber eats and Just eat.

After all they apply fees to the end user already.

I miss the McRib.

Saw a guy on youtube review a new hatrick burger,they only gave him 2 pattys
He bought a triple cheeseburger as well and preferred that especially as it was half the price.

Wish McDs, KFC etc offer a meal where you can get large fries and a medium drink and vice versa. As I sometimes I don’t want a large drink. Price point will be between medium and large meals.

Agreed. I always want large fries, but don’t need anything more than a medium drink.

It's the places themselves that bump the prices up on the platforms to cover the IIRC large fees they also have to pay. The business see none of the service fee we pay to Uber/JE/etc.

Tried the hat trick today. Balance is all wrong, not enough moisture to balance out the meat. Becomes a chore to chomp your way through all the beef. Double quarter with extra sauce a far better option.

I seem to end up at McDonalds more since i've been here than in around the last 10 years! Weirdly as it feels more expensive than the UK, and you're around €10 for a large meal. However, i've pretty much settled on the Triple Cheeseburger large meal, which is €6 and i don't really know what is worth the difference for an extra €4!

I succumbed to installing the McD app. What's the deal with the offers bit in the menu? It always says "Sorry no offers available at this time, please check again later". Is my app install borked, or are they just really stingy with offers? I can't actually recall seeing an offer in this app.

Stingy with offers. Think Mondays usually

 

[mithrandir]

They did run a fortnightly (might have been 3 weeks) happy meal for 1.99 during the Easter period. Could use it once per day.

At the moment it’s pick three things for £3. So doubt any offers will be on app when promotion is on

 

[Bubo]

Oh right, so bugger all use then. Thought it might be because I initially rejected one of the privacy settings when I installed the app. Thought I ain't getting many offers here so enabled it, and sod all since. Whereas Burger King a)you don't even to use the app for offers, b)there are always offers and c)you can get round the "only one offer deal per order" by simply making two separate orders and shouting both numbers at the order window thing. Trouble is I have gone off Burger King again because of the bread they use in the buns, so dry.

My issue with all the McDonalds ‘specials’ is that I’ve tried them all before even the ones that haven’t yet come out. How many combinations of beef, bread, cheese, sauce can there be? Only one really as they all taste the same just different amounts of each!

 

[Feek]

Three cheeseburgers for three quid seems like a decent deal.

They seem to have totally run of creativity lately, slapping 3 patties in a bun isn't interesting.

Bring back the Great Tastes of America/The World. Obviously not genuine but had more originality than slapped an extra, sometimes unnecessary burger
