TBF, the latter is a much better reflection of how lifeless and awful their food is.

i was really hungover and had taken some painkillers with codeine and i had a single mcdonalds cheeseburg and it was dynamite

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I would wager it was the codeine painkillers that were dynamite and the burger was mostly a side effect

Well no. McDonald's is pretty tasty it's just horrific for you and the planet.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

it’s just horrific ~~for you and the planet.~~

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

That's the same sentence just far dumber and less descriptive.

McDonald’s is pretty tasty

Your opinion is factually incorrect.

Opinions aren't generally hinged on factuality bud especially ones that depend on taste but you clearly don't get social norms like don't be twat so I'll forgive the misstep and tell you outright... Don't be a twat.

I'd say most food tastes amazing when drunk /hungover, let alone on a codeine high

[–] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

granted. at the end of the day though, the reliability/consistency of a mcdonalds cheeseburger is a stable constant in a mecurial world. they dont make crumbs. they're essentially astronaut food

The last time I ate McDonald's, I arrived in Pasewalk, a tiny town in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, on a much delayed train at 2 in the morning. They where the only place that was open, and I hadn't eaten since noon.

That burger was kinda OK, but it might have been the circumstance. They stopped selling vegan burgers anyway, so whatever.

Hunger is the best cook 🤷‍♀️

It reminds me of the Griswold's neighbors in the Christmas Vacation movie, Elaine and Ponytail

The mistreatment of the yuppies is my favorite part of that movie. When she opens the door and gets attacked by the squirrel and then the dog, or when the icicle destroys their stereo I crack up every time.

Really depends on the country. Technically the menu is almost the same everywhere but the ingredients and quality absolutely isn't.
