There are a lot more options now. Plus we often pack lunch. Funny that when I was a kid we always had to pack a lunch on road trips because my parents refused to pay for McDonalds or other fast food options because it was expensive. I thought it was high living when I could afford to go to McDonalds. Now I'm rich and pack a lunch because I don't want fast food. |
Child abuse. It's probably the first place they'll go when they break free, if they aren't already sneaking there with their friends. |
1998 maybe |
Do people actually like McDonald’s/fast food, or is it just that it’s convenient? |
We don't go on long car rides. We fly, and bring a bunch of snacks onto the plane. Dh and I are both foodies, so we're more likely to make a milkshake or fries at home. I don't understand your point about "how people ... move ..." Why would moving houses necessitate going to McDonalds? |
There used to be one about a block and a half from my apartment, and even with that, I basically went to get fries like once a year. It matters to me what I put into my body. I can make sweet potato fries at home that have way less additives. |
since around 5:30 pm this afternoon. stopped by to get a large unsweet tea lemonade. you should try it OP. |
Road trip to Ohio recently. It was the only thing the whole family would eat so not much debate there. |
1976. My parents were getting a divorce and my father took me and my little sister for a kids happy meal. Then he moved out the next day. I’ve never been inside a McDonald’s since then. Wow, never really thought about this before. |
A few weeks ago. Breakfast sandwiches are the best at McD's!
Burger King has a 2 for $5 Whopper Jr sale right now. |
I love going to mcdonalds in europe. Nothing quite so delightful as sitting there nursing a beer watching the world go by in a restaurant that used to be an old palace. If only they would bring the Big Breakfast with hot cakes platter to EU mcdonalds, it would be perfect. |
It's been a few hours - drover through for lumch on the road today, used my app to pay, ths kids were happy for the shakes and nuggies. |
DP but there are certain situations where your family needs to eat immediately, you don't have access to a kitchen, and there's very little open or nearby. Like if you spent the day moving and it's 7:30 and you can't cook because there's no food in the house and you need to eat now, not in 40 minutes when a pizza shows up. The thing about McDonald's is that it's incredibly fast-- you can be eating within a few minutes of placing your order. |
I had a sausage McMuffin last week and it was yum. |
Thanks for bringing out this sickening display of sanctamommies, OP. |
