Why do you want to shut down McDonalds?

a 6 year old happy meal just as fresh as it left Mac's!
And to think people reckon they are giving their children, the most precious things in the world to them, a treat!
Mum keeps McDonald's Happy Meal for SIX YEARS... this is what it looks like now

Well whaddya know, Snopes has it covered:

Six-year-old Happy Meal doesn't rot

Claim: Photographs of a six-year-old Happy Meal document that McDonald's food items don't break down or rot like "real" food.

mostly false
WHAT'S TRUE: Under specific conditions, food items (and other organic matter) dry out quickly and don't decompose.

WHAT'S FALSE: McDonald's menu items alone "don't rot"; McDonald's food never "rots" under any condition; "chemicals" cause McDonald's food to not break down over the course of years.

Do check out the link, as it goes into some detail, including those of an independently conducted controlled experiment. Bottom line is: if kept in the same conditions, home-made and supermarket bought burgers will behave exactly the same as those from McDonalds.

If you're critical of McDonalds, you should attack them on what they actually do (like zero-hours contracts - note their insistence that they are a "flexible" employer, the fucking cunts), rather than basing your attacks on made-up shit concocted by attention-seeking Facebookers.

They have drive-throughs: further encouraging customers to become fat, lazy and constipated

She's from Alaska. That's the same as being in the fridge for 6 years.

Because parking up and walking in burns so many kcals.

In any case, it's not a problem unique to McDonalds; your local off-brand chicken shop, much as I enjoy their stuff, is just as bad in health terms, possibly more so for being cheaper.

agreed, if its a choice between a cottage chicken junior spesh or a mcchicken burger, I'd probably opt for the mcdonalds.

 

[editor]

I shudder to think about the conditions that some of those chickens have been reared in.

Cottage Chicken? Anyway, I would sooner go hungry.

Cottage Chicken/Chicken Cottage/<insert other meaningless fried Chicken shop name>

 

[UnderOpenSky]

The few times I've had Chicken Cottage it's been a step up from your average fried chicken place. I only do burgers though, fried chicken on the bone is a bit to much grease.

 

[Spymaster]

... fried chicken on the bone is a bit to much grease.

It is.

But it's fucking lush every now and then!

 

[Spymaster]

Shit.

Mrs Spy is out with her mates tonight and now I'm thinking .... Bargain Bucket and a bottle of red.

McD make a shit burger tis a fact. The last 2 times I got dragged there I found that they had messed with the quarter pounder w cheese and changed it completely from the olden days. Then the big tasty, quite nice as it had a fair salad in it, now discontinued. No reason ever to go again.

Because sometimes you want a quick unhealthy fix and Burger King hike their prices if they are on a motor way, so I won't buy them then out of principle.

 

[Pingu]

the big tasty is an occasional thing but yeah i really like them.

 

[Chilli.s]

Its whopper with cheese all the way now, very good salad, pickle too. For the occasional one it beats anything on MuckDs menu.

 

[dessiato]

Now I want a BK triple whopper, no fries, diet coke.

 

[Chilli.s]

Those double and triple ones don't work for me, too meaty, if the salad and bun were tripled too and it stood a foot tall that would be ok.

 

[NoXion]

too meaty,

No such thing.

When I got out after my last prison sentence, a friend met me and on the way home we stopped for a Maccy Ds. I had a super sized BigMac meal, couple extra bits and a bonus milkshake.

One of the finest meals I ever ate.

Again, those lovely people from Macs are taking legal action, only this time it's against the city of Florence for discrimination. Surely, if Fklorence doesn't want Mac's, it doesn't have to have one?

McDonald's is suing the city of Florence

what was your last prison sentence for?

 

[tonysingh]

A.B.H

A.B.H

bit of a kick in the teeth to get a prison sentence for that.

In fairness I was even more of a cunt then as opposed to now. I deserved to get sent down for that as well as an accumulation of other offences, at least morally speaking. I was only away a few months ams used the time to clear my head. Prison worked for me in that instance though o wasnt quite so happy about it at the fucking time!

It will help over indulgers in junk food to over indulge, but at least it will keep all their crap from littering our streets, though I guess we will still suffer those goddam awful smells that their outlets omit McDonald's hints it could start delivering food to your home

 

[jimbarkanoodle]

This will never work because the food is very rarely an acceptable warm temperature when you are actually inside the bloody place, having got worse since they changed the system where apparently now everything is 'cooked to order', when in fact the burgers are cooked and left in a hot cabinet out the back then assembled post ordering, rather than assembled and dumped in the silver trays behind the service desk. if that makes sense.

I cant see how they would be able to cook and deliver it even remotely warm.

 

[souljacker]

I always remember the chips going very cold and soggy back in the days when we would drive to a drive-thru and wait until we got home before we'd eat them.
