Haven't been to McDonald's since December 2023

Only visit McDonald when we see family in the UK. The UK McDonalds still make the delicious fried apple pie. They are all baked in the US.

I’ve never eaten at McDonald’s or any of those places. I was a picky eater growing up so I never ordered anything even when family or school friends went. And I’ve never had a desire. I’ve had sodas when I’ve gone with friends but that’s it.

Pre March 2020. Once little kid became a big kid, really no need.

I’m addicted to egg McMuffins

20+ years. Thank you, post partum autoimmune food weirdness.

I only miss fast food on road trips though.

Oh man I miss burning my tongue in those.

With that chewy flavorless ham? Or the greasy sausage?

I think Starbucks sausage egg McMuffin knockoff is 10x better. I just can't stand that fake orange cheese McDonald's uses. Adds nothing, just extra calories and saltier flavor, when no more salt is needed.

We love getting MCD breakfast on road trips. But the cost has more than doubled just in the last couple years.

On a road trip, maybe in 2020. I can’t remember.

You’re dissecting a McDonald’s sandwich? Most, myself included, know that McDonald’s is garbage. I do love an occasional Egg McMuffin.

I’m telling you the Starbucks copycat is miles better and just as easy to find on the road.

No but the OP sounds like they felt they were doing something significant by not going since Dec.

I know! I occasionally get drive-thru so I won't act like I'm too good for it, but a couple months without is nothing notable! Such a random thread.

Filthy mop water stench? Yes very pervasive in every location

All fast food places have that peculiar smell. A combination of deep frying and bleach?

It’s from frying the French fries in vegetable oil instead of beef tallow. The McDonald’s fries of my youth were so good. In 1990 they changed to vegetable oil and now the fries no longer are crispy on the outside and soft and buttery on the inside. Vegetable oil at high temperatures is unstable and breaks down. It leaves a sticky film all over everything.
Bring back the beef tallow fries!!!

Just did a roadtrip and had first McDonald’s meal in at least a decade. Got the cheeseburger meal- two cheeseburgers, fries and soda. Burger was awesome in its own unique way- probably mostly nostalgia, but I enjoyed it. I will say, as bad as McDonald’s is for you, I felt much better after my McDonald’s meal than I would after a Five Guys meal. I love Five Guys, but can only do it once a year, at most.

Anyways I do not eat at McDonald’s, Wendy’s Burger King or Subway. I will however go to Burger King just for a Hershey pie or McDonalds just for ice cream but now we go to yogitopi which is one of the cheapest in terms of frozen yogurt. But food from McDonald’s?, decades ago.
