An interesting photo experiment: to create a photo with small dots of the whereabouts of McDonalds restaurants in the USA.

And if you really like to eat your regular Big Mac, then this is not the place to live, cause it is 172 km away from the nearest McDonalds...

Kind of scaring, isn't it? :hmmm:

i have to be really desperate to stop at McDs

for example... its 8pm, im on my way home from work... and my stomach suddenly makes me realize that i have not had a bite to eat since lik 9am.

and my wallet makes me realize i only have like $2

the drive through at McDs can usually spare a double cheese burger for about $1.08

other that that - i might sooner eat from a vending machine depending on what the machine is offering :haha:

I'll admit it, I'm a sucker for the Big Mac with cheese, no lettuce.


other than that, their coffee sucks, their drinks are overpriced, and their BBq sauce is a little on the funky side

Yeah, I just realized that too and fixed it in the text, can't edit title though.
What amazes me is that you didn't misspell my name as it usually is the case in this forum...:O:

I hate the 'special sauce'. Quarter Pounder with Cheese for me, or lately the $1 double cheeseburgers.

Not to mention "weigh".

I now rarely eat McD's food (mind you, I work IN one! Just never ever go and work in one unless you're utterly desperate for some cash). But wow, that's a lot of McD's over thar :o

Do you guys have the McAngus beef burgers? (unless it's Australia only) Mum tells me it's like the best burger McD ever had.

we did have Angus burgers for a while, but most people in California don't know what an Angus is and they were afraid to eat it. (I bet they though it was a type of kangaroo or fried haggis.)

I never ate one. I only eat their fries on rare occasion.

I did get a hot mocha from there a few days ago and I'm just now getting over the sugar rush from it.

I rarely go there myself, if it's two times over three years that I eat there, then that's about it. They don't get much money from me. It's the last resort for me, I just do it while travelling and I can't find another suitable place to eat.
However the few times, I have dared to set my feet in there: Denmark, Germany or France, I think they may have had some sort of food which appeals to the local population, which they then might not have elsewhere. I haven't heard about Angus either...

Their drinks or ice is more or less the same as elsewhere, so I don't mind buying that, but their burgers, fries etc... no way... Once you have eaten that, you feel the hunger coming back way too soon afterwards.
