Anything good at McDonalds?

[fedupfisherman]

The only two items I think are worth eating a McDonalds are:

smooth vanilla ice cream cone

hotcakes and sausage.


Otherwise the rest of their food is nasty!

1. It's all one big puke fest as far as I'm concerned.

The water might be ok, but I wouldn't bet on it.

[philosophie_en_rose]

7. The water has salt in it, actually.

:bounce:

They serve coke's brand of water, which contains salt.

[mainegreen]

8. Wow. They screwed up water then.

That's commitment!

[kay1864]

2. Sausage is "good"?

Or did you just mean "tastes good"?

Tastes good:
- Fries
- Apple pie
- Egg McMuffin
- Southern chicken sandwich

Good for you:
- Salad

[skygazer]

17. I think even the salad is questionable

And as someone else mentioned, they even screwed up water so I refuse to trust the salad. :P

[AlCzervik]

3. The McDefibrillator.

[CRF450]

4. Their fries is the only reason I'd ever go their.

[mockmonkey]

41. They have the BEST Fries in the World

Unfortunately, they don't sell them without over salting them to hell. I used to work at a Mcdonalds in the 80's and the employees ate the food there. Now I wonder if the employees eat there at all because how can they NOT notice how terrible it is?

[redqueen]

5. chocolate shakes!

and... fries! sorry but it's true! they're like crack!

actually, there's a lot of stuff there that i just really really enjoy, when i'm stupid enough to eat there. it's a rare treat.

[Mojambo]

6. Very good lighting. n/t

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

9. It's an excellent chain of public restrooms. -nt

[Aristus]

10. The exits.

B-)

[VenusRising]

11. I like their yogurt parfaits.

It has granola on the top. :9

[lizziegrace]

20. and they're only a dollar

:)

[VenusRising]

26. Bonus!

That's about all I like though.

I can handle their cappuccinos once in a while.

:)

[Critters2]

12. I like the Asian Salad. I get it without chicken. It has some kind of dressing on it

like spritzed on real lightly, that I like. Some colleagues insist on going there for lunch once in a while, and I first thought I wouldn't find anything to eat--hadn't been there in a while--but I always get this salad, and I like it.

[LSK]

13. breakfast

I love their breakfast sandwiches although they are very unhealthy, which explains why I have not eaten there in months.

[bullwinkle428]

34. Actually, the Egg McMuffin isn't so bad nutrtionallly, if you leave the cheese off -

I've read that from more than one "expert". It's about the only thing of theirs I eat these days.

[underpants]

54. I just had two- oh and the coffee is quite good

Yummmo!

[SoxFan]

14. Damn it, I'll say it!

I am a pudgy American male, and by God, I like a quarter pounder with fries and a shamrock shake!

[Kali]

27. I'm a pudgy American female and I don't eat there too often

but I can eat a QP (with cheese!) and not feel too sick after (unlike burger king). I can eat a big Mac or a double cheeseburger too. (heck I wish they had their regualr cheeseburgers for 50 cents - I would eat those instead of the double)

Their fries used to be a LOT better when they used lard. Everybody's fries used to be better before the ENTIRE FREAKING UNIVERSE started putting whatever that weird coating is on their fries. WHY? Real crispy is good, strange coatings to give the illusion of crispy is scary. I would rather have a nice greasy soggy fry than a weird coated one.

[KamaAina]

29. They did not use lard which you cannot prove so stop saying that!

They used tallow! Not lard, tallow!

Better watch it or you're gonna have a McLibel suit on your hands! :-)

[SoxFan]

61. Preach it, Sister Kali!

I am in total agreement with you on the mystery shellack on french fries. Burger King started this nonsense about ten years ago when they started spraying that weird sugar glaze, and sadly, McD's followed suit.

Bring back the lard!

[GRLMGC]

15. The snack wraps are okay

I like the yogurt parfaits and the salads too.

[WildEyedLiberal]

24. We echoed each other!

Snack wrap love

[GRLMGC]

31. Weren't you amused by our Californian Salsa Roja

snack wrap variety? Do you have the Chipotle kind in your neck of the woods?

[WildEyedLiberal]

50. OH YEAH I was!!

Yeah we have the Chipotle one, it's yummy. But yeah we don't have the salsa roja one, I'm jealous, it sounds tasty

[kernelfarmer]

16. The Fries are great

That is about all. Used to have a joke when we was younger...we'd take a date there and order chocolate shakes. And, depending on how fast she'd get it through the straw would determine if she was a "keeper." :rofl:

[Clintonista2]

48. Wow.. I hope that joke means what I think it does

Otherwise, I have a very dirty mind.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

18. I'm addicted to their double cheeseburgers.

I can't stop eating them.

[LSdemocrat]

19. I like their chicken nuggets and fries

I also have an odd, possibly artificially induced, craving for the way their regular and double hamburgers come together in terms of the "beef", bun, onion, pickle, and ketchup combination.

[WildEyedLiberal]

25. LOL "beef"

I love how they have to promise you that their burgers are "100% beef" on the wrappers. Not 100% LEAN beef, or 100% Angus, or whatever... just 100% beef. What a ringing endorsement!

[HEyHEY]

21. I LOVE hotcakes and sausage

[lizziegrace]

22. Southwestern Chicken Salad

actually has some flavor. :)

[WildEyedLiberal]

23. The chipotle bbq snack wrap is tasty, and not that bad for you

I eat them semi often. They're cheap and yummy. I also like chicken nuggets, but that's because I actually LIKE the spongy texture. Yeah I know, I'm weird.

[Cruzan]

28. I like pretty much everything on the menu

except the regular coffee, which is pretty poor -- haven't tried their espresso or whatever 'gourmet' kind they have. But the burgers, cheeseburgers, quarterpounders, double cheeseburgers, big macs, fries, fillet 'o fish, egg mcmuffins, sausage mcmuffins, mcgrills, sundaes, slurries, shakes -- all that stuff I'd be happy to eat on a regular basis. Of course I don't because of the high caloric content and less than satisfactory nutrition, but I still like the taste.

[Lex]

30. Their coffee is very good. Beats Starbucks per Consumer Reports

article from a few months ago.

[bigwillq]

32. No!

The food is terrible. Terrible tasting and terrible for you. :puke:

[Deja Q]

33. Nope. I haven't been there in years.

:9

[Shine]

35. NOTHING is good at McDonalds. It might taste good, but it's terrible for you.

haven't you ever seen "Super Size Me!" :shrug:

I will NEVER eat there again, after seeing that movie.

:thumbsdown:

just sayin'.

[Critters2]

38. Salads are okay.

Did that guy ever eat a salad?

[Shine]

39. Yeah, and I remember how the dressings were laden with calories

it's worth checking that movie out, if you haven't already. It's very funny and the guy, Morgan Spurlock, is very engaging as he goes through his self-inflicted "diet" of eating nothing but McDonalds foods for 30 days.

[Critters2]

40. All salad drssings are laden with calories.

They do offer low-fat or fat-free (can't remember which), and the best way to eat any salad dressing is to get it on the side and just dip your fork in it before each bite. I do this at McD's.

If you eat cheeseburgers everyday, you will get sick. I never understood the point in making a whole movie to prove that.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

51. But everything that tastes good is terrible for you.

;)

[HughBeaumont]

56. And everything that's good for you tastes like styrofoam and Splenda sponges.

:puke:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

59. Yep.

[Ekirh]

36. I've gone two years with not eating at a Mcdonalds! N/T

So I couldn't really tell you

When I still did eat there.. I usually only got either the sausage mcmuffin . . . or the chicken selects with chipotle sauce . . .

[mitchum]

37. Only the weed sold by the frycook

[Taverner]

42. Chicken Grilled Sandwich on Wheat

Actually healthy, if you can handle the sodium

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

43. The Apple Slices And Caramel. Also, Those Cinnamon Dippers Are Incredible.

[jeff30997]

44. Their grilled Chinese kids are no to bad;

[Akoto]

45. Well, before I removed trans fats from my diet ...

I used to love their pancakes with a side of hash browns. Seeing what a heart attack did to my mom helped me to give that habit up quickly, though. :)

[TK421]

46. The McWaistline Sandwich is my personal favorite

It's easy to keep track of your waistline if you eat there seven days a week ( like some people I know )........

[Clintonista2]

47. I LOVE the fries

Although wendys fries gives mcdonalds a run for their money.

[Raejeanowl]

49. Family Talking About This Tonight

After viewing a Subway commercial. Fast food in general is unforgivable, nutritionally obscene, expensive, often poorly prepared and rudely and haphazardly served. Why do we tolerate it?

And then tomorrow, we'll head straight for the drive-thru with a Jones for KFC, which really doesn't taste like original anything anymore.

[last_texas_dem]

52. They have a certain chicken sandwich that I like quite a bit

I can't remember the exact name, but it's something like the Deluxe Crispy Chicken sandwich. I rarely go there, though; I went there too much as a kid, anyway, and there are several fast food places I prefer if I'm getting fast food.

ON EDIT: That last sentence I wrote is a little repetitive, but I think I'll just leave it that way. haha Also, wanted to add that I like the Cajun McChicken (plus, it's only 99-cents- woohoo!) and I've also never gotten tired of the fries.

[Orsino]

53. The fries were terrific...

...but I abandoned McD's many years ago.

[jakefrep]

55. The iced coffee is pretty good...

as are the Shamrock shakes, and most of their breakfast sandwiches.

[Deep13]

57. The rest room is usually clean. nt

[NewJeffCT]

58. the coffee seems okay

I don't eat there otherwise.

[MissMillie]

60. "good"? or "good for you"?

the sausage, egg and cheese McGriddle is a guilty pleasure of mine. It has all the right sins going for it: salty, sweet, fatty, cheesy.....
