McDonalds New 1955 Burger!

Just been out in the car and heard on the radio that McDonlads are now going to add the calorific count on all their products and then I go and see an advert about the new McD's 1955 burger.

I just wanted to know is the 1955 the calorific count? :eek:

the vast majority of people are lazy and don't do enough exercise to combat the type of calories something like Macdonalds has

I was thinking exactly that as I drove to the McD's

Well exactly. Maybe if they were forced to replace the drive throughs with a Treadmill-Run-yourself-to-that-Burger™ type set up, where you had to run a certain distance in order to get access to menu items.

I get it, instead of "Air Miles" you could earn "McMiles" where you get on a treadmill and swipe your card at the start, jog for a while and swipe your card when you finish and as long as you've accumilated 1000 McMiles you can have a burger, 200 McMiles for fries and 500 McMiles for a choccy shake.

I think we're onto a winner here, don't tell anyone about this.....this time next year we'll be millionaires

I dont' get this, they already detail and print the calories and nutritional breakdown for all the products. What is the news here?

Yes but its always been on the back of the paper they use to line the tray and what they are trying to do is make ppl more responsible for what they eat. I.e, if you see its high in calories you will not eat it and opt for something yet calorific.....yeh right!

What McD's could do is make a lovely pure breast of chicken with a low fat dressing and salad on a brown bap or wholemeal pitta......

Just face it if you want healthy you don't eat fast food! Have a bowl of lettuce some vinigarette and some colon clensing!

Samsara, Bang on! I miss the double quarter pounder with Cheese! The quarter pounder is just not enough and the topping is just right. The closest think to it is the BIG TASTY - Yummy!

I love Gerkin!!!!!!!

Your fine knocking one out as long as you replace the potasium and the protein. So go for a KFC Fillet Burger and eat a banana after for pudding. Be carefull afterwards though in case you think you dropped some of the mayo out the burger on your covers....one mistake like that and your off mayo for life!!!!
