McDonalds' new slogan: Your friends are full of it...

ChrisG said:
I aint been to McDonalds in years (seriosuly, no joke). Havnt been since about 1999. Its disgusting. The butchers in Stoksley is absolutley lovley. 100% meat everywhere it should be (ie, burgers, sausages, ect). Havn't had better sausages yet :D.

The sausages may be lovley, but are you sure the 100% meat doesn't include genitals?

While I'll believe that McD's are mincing and fast-freezing, I'm not so sure I believe it's all prime cuts of beef ;) Cheap, fatty cuts perhaps...

Apparently there are on average bits of 200 DIFFERENT cows in each burger.

From my experiences I'm sure I keep getting the arses.

:eek:

It's too late in the evening to dig out the facts now, but suffice to say the nuggets are full of crap that binds them together. If I remember correctly, there's more fat in a chicken (Mc)Nugget than a burger. The buns are pretty bad, too. Still, nice for a treat with the children sometimes.

It's not even chicken, really. It's centrifuged chicken. They actually use the centrifuge to keep the fat, I think. The fat holds the chicken "meat" together and makes it taste better. It's just like hot dog meat, but with more fat added in.
 
I wouldn't cross the street for a McDonalds' anything. Long ago, I took their slogan to heart. I "deserve a break, today". :p

I got spoilt by my local bakery. They used to (the original folk have since retired) make the utmost incredible meat and potato pies. Soft pastry, slight peppery aftertaste and slightly gummy innards. They were incredible. I remember going to Greggs the first time I was properly in the city and urgh, the thing that sticks in my mind were these horrible mini cubes of "filling". Never been back since.

Jamie Oliver... I noticed he's put a few pounds on. Probably doesn't exercise enough. unless slaughtering sheep count.

It's certainly not gourmet, but it's cheap and cheerful and far better value than any Starbucks or Pret crap that costs a fortune. The only thing that pisses me off about Gregg's is that sometimes they'll give you a cold pastie without telling you it's cold, so you have to take it back and make a fuss, or just put up with it. Oh, and another bad thing is that anything apart from their sandwiches are just as unhealthy as your average McDonalds :rolleyes:

The best thing about Gregg's though are the women who worked at my hometown Gregg's who would always give me loads of free food if I came in at the end of the day on my way home from school.

Ahhh...childhood obesity :cool:
 
So massively pissed right now - drank easily a bottle of wine, maybe 1.5 bottles of wine, on a farily empty stomcahc.

Rather fgo gewt a fat-rolled0in fat - kebab than a POS Maccas burger, but I'm gonna have some New Zealand high-quality ice cream and Ice Magiic once I figure out how to stand up again.

Maccas is crap.

So loading yourself up with a butter-filled pastry and a crappy sandwich from Greggs is better? Now that's a true broke-food moron.

See above post.

I never said it was better for you. I just said at least you don't get ripped off.

He's such a tit... and obviously doesn't see the irony in preaching about healthy food, whilst being the owner of a double chin and a somewhat generous gut himself.

Oi... I eat fairly healthy and yet I have a double chin and a generous gut. It's the booze which the kids don't have to worry about, not to mention the lack of exercise. If I was eating crap I'd be a lot worse.

It's even more funny when probably 95% of the people that eat in a Pret A Manger don't realise they're one and the same.
Click to expand...

No. Pret A Manger is a company in which McDonalds has a stake. It's rather like equating Lamborghini to Skoda. In fact, even less so as McD doesn't own PaM outright. It's even even funnier when people say stuff like the above, thinking themselves informed :p
 
We don'thave this Pret an Mongrel here, just good ol'
Maccas and McCafé.

Hate Maccas, their stuff tastes awfuklyt/

Geeze I was laughin wehn I heard the "Your Friends are full of crap" ;line.
 
Below is McD's best slogan. Apparently the corporate marketing weenies didn't do their research on what this phrase really means. Who wants to shag a cheeseburger? :rolleyes: :D

I'm aware of that thanks, that McDonalds do not own a controlling stake is here nor there, you are still lining the same pockets.

It's much the same as people that read 'No Logo' whilst sporting a nice shiny pair of Chuck Taylors on their toes, and preaching the evils of Nike.

So do I... and I don't think there's anything wrong with it. ;) :D

But then I don't go round pontificating about the virtues of healthy eating whilst being a fat bastard like Mr Oliver. ;)

It's "Maccas" not "McD's."

"McD's" just sounds weird.
 
I go there once a year on my way back from playing sport for the region. The chips used to be nice but the no salt ones taste awful. Anyway, i just stick to the sandwich bar there now.

Um... You need to work on your 'it's much the same as...' statements. If you insult someone through obvious ignorance, best to be humble than glib. Apart from kids my amusement at the disparagement of all things "Macca" is directed at it's users, not the chain itself.
 
raggedjimmi said:
Well anything is better than the "I'm loving it" easy target. "I'm eating s**t", "I'm losing it" etc...

Either way round I don't care. Haven't been to Macdonalds since... a bloody long time. years now. Boots food hasn't had preservatives or rubbish in for years now, and it's all "superfood" tomatoes and that. absolutely fantastic.

I second your idea that McDonald's new slogan should be "I'm eating s**t."

As for calling it Macca's... is this some sort of Australian thing?

Daniel.

I was insulting no one.
 
I would choose to eat in a McD's over many other fast food places. I have friends who have worked in various fast food venues over the years (not high profile ones, except for KFC) and you can only hear so many stories of bad hygene and food being left out and things being picked off the floor before you never set foot in one again. High profile chains like McDonalds and Burger king I believe are safe, because they have gained such a bad rep over the last few years kitchen standards and H&S have to be first class otherwise they will get dragged through a very expensive lawsuit, and loose.

The reason I don't eat there is because the food just tastes bland, the reason I don't eat in down-market places is because I don't want to get ill.
 
Just out of curiosity... how is Burger King doing? I have been known to go in there, just because the fries piss on anything Macdonalds used to do. Anyone? Please lie to me and tell me it's good.

I don't know how it is on your side of the pond, but here in the states BK is a significant step down in quality form "Mickey D's". Last time I went in one I got my lips scalded on a burger bun because the sandwich had been Nuked to death before serving. And the o-rings were greasy and stale. Yechhh!

They use o-rings in hamburgers? No wonder it's like chewing on rubber.:confused:
