zebedee 1 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I had one after a night on the piss at the weekend. It was typical McDs, not particularly nice. But I think some of the comments above are a bit OTT. It's not that bad, if it were so amazingly terrible why would so many people eat it? Link to post Share on other sites

Some clever guy once said something like "never be afraid of over estimating the stupidity that the human race is capable of". Scouser raises a very fair objection: the hangover. Those evil monsters will make you do just about anything in search of relief. Link to post Share on other sites
mina2 6 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Enjoying a certain food is stupid? Hmmm. (I'm not defending McDs by the way!!) Link to post Share on other sites

Before anyone gets heated up, I can assure you that I have been stupid enough to enjoy many things that one must be very stupid to enjoy. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Big Macs are totally lousy hamburgers, and those fries are disgusting. I think it's the fries that give McBurps their peculiar persistence and reek. I haven't touched them in years. (On a school trip to London, one of my mates dragged me half way across the city, on foot, in order that we might dine on America's finest in the first McDonald's in London. I nearly killed the f*cker soon after my first bite.) But once I had a bacon and lettuce jobbie with a lot of pepper at the airport before jumping on a plane. It was pretty good. If my life took a turn for the unpredictable and I was forced to make my own sandwiches, those are some of the ingredients I would reach for first. Probably shove some avocado in there too though, and use some tasty bread. However, it really is a source of wonderment that so mediocre and regrettable a taste experience can be so popular. Most onigiri taste far better, even though I prefer bread to rice on almost any occasion. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Here is Joan Bakewell from BBC's Newsnight going for her first Big Mac in her seventies. http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,3604,1214530,00.html I've got to second the "meat is tasteless" comment. I had the deluxe 600 yen Mos Burger that comes with lettuce instead of a bun a few weeks back and it was pretty good. Lots of juicy dribbly . Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Yeah, they're quite good. I like Mos Burger. Link to post Share on other sites
Dims 0 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Rushing in to a McD and pretending to consider a burger purchase just so you can use the toilet is known as a "McShit with lies" Mos burger is pretty tasty, but a bit small Link to post Share on other sites
gnarly-dude 1 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 ..and a bit expensive, especially considering its a bit small. Link to post Share on other sites

Davo 1 Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Haven't eaten at Rotten Ronnies for nearly a year now. Reading "Fast-food nation" cured me of putting that crap in my mouth. Sure, it isn't that bad but it's very far from good. My body is eternally thankful for the dietary change. I'm really looking forward to watching "Super-Size Me", it sounds funny as hell.

Dims 0 Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Movie about a guy who eats nothing but Mickey D's for a month, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Predictably he is not looking good by the end of it. Doctors are shocked by the effects on his health. Looks absoutely classic! Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Gawd, I just built my menu and I was at 1,800 calories for your average Combo meal I break down and get fast food (Mos Burger)once or twice a year; really enjoy Subway quite a bit though. Link to post Share on other sites
HoTRoD 2 Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I built my "menu" and it came to just under 2000! And I bet I'd be hungry after that too! They should scrap that feature, I reckon! Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Love the way "Hamburger" is in the "Main Meals" section. I could scoff 10 of them in a sitting (if I really wanted to, just to prove that they do not make a "meal") Link to post Share on other sites
