What are your thoughts on McDonald's?

[Clawdeen 15,698]

When I was a child I loved it. Now however I dislike like it. Everything I've gotten there recently has been disgusting.

[Pony Flutters 535]

It's alright, but not one of my favorite burger places to go to. Their fries are usually the best for a major fast food chain.

Over a year later and it's still this. The food at the ones around here is so gross I stopped going there ages ago.

Not a fan of their most of their food, but I did enjoy the breakfast sandwiches whenever I did go for breakfast in the past.

I don't go there often and never really have. Doesn't help that the food quality has gotten worse recently imo.

Their ice cream sundaes are pretty good though.

[DubWolf 17,476]

So many good deals ! I normally go for their nuggets, breakfast, or the value menu.

"Unpopular belief", but McDonalds ain't that bad, although sometimes there is a bit of a bad stench I get from the place admittedly ... does taste better than it smells .

Its a once in a blue moon thing to eat for me,  mostly I just get the fries

I like their hamburgers and chicken sandwiches, I think they're all right. My family sometimes orders McDonalds on days where we can't think of anything good to make for dinner.

I wish I liked them. I do find the ones in other countries like Europe tend to be of a higher quality. 
 

It is okay if you are in a hurry and need to grab something while needing to drive somewhere ASAP. But otherwise, far from my top choice. 

[Snoopy Fan 3,015]

I used to like it, but lately I’ve been trying to stay away from fried foods.

[TheRockARooster 52,595]

I love Macca’s and I want some now. 

[Iforgotmybrain 5,916]

Not my first choice, I prefer Culver’s for fast food burgers, or Wendy’s but they can be hit or miss a lot of the time.

I think McDonald’s thing is that they're consistently pretty average, and widespread. You can go to almost any McDonalds and get the same experience no matter what. There’s better fast food places, and there’s worse ones, and none of them tend to be as consistent or prevalent as McDonalds.

based in my countrys menu i choose mcdonalds ricebowl pepper steak and their fries it tastes good but however i choose jollibee more because they have tastier foods in my opinion like their chicken and burger steak and fries and since i live in the philippines which makes it better for me.

McDonalds seems like it was really cool way back when it catered to kids. Playgrounds, characters, birthday parties. One thing I remember is the pancakes and sausage breakfasts. Do they still have that?

[Tao 8,233]

I might it once every two months if I choose too.   I'm not the biggest fan but  if ur road tripping and need a fast bite.   

[ZiggWheelsManning 11,578]

You can't get away from the most accessible fast-food restaurant, even if it's a movie theater trip  

[Xada 462]

I only hed food from McDonald's once and it was a bad experience. The strawberry milkshake tasted weird and the soft buns the burger was in tasted awful. How do you screw up buns? I never experienced a simple bun tasting bad before.

Would never try McDonald's meal again.

Well, it is pretty cheap for fast food and their fries are actually pretty good.

Yeah, it's the only thing I would ever specifically go there for. But they do get soggy-like very fast.

Mine doesn't, sorry

Thought: What part of the chicken is their "McNugget"?  

 

[OverTheStars 249]

It's okay, I'll eat it if I have a gift card or if I need to stop somewhere to grab a quick and easy bite. This might be an unpopular opinion, but...I think their fries are pretty average if not a bit below average. I hear their fries used to be a lot better when they used beef tallow, but now they're just kind of bland and soggy, not crispy at all. I actually think Wendy's and Jack in the Box has some of the best fast food fries. Arby's would be up there too, but the rest of their food scares me so much that it drags them down a few tiers.

[Acinonyx 49]

Nei, absolutely not.

It's on the boycott list and I have a thousand better options locally than that slop.

[Night Sky 350]

McDonald's is not food. It is fissile matter in the color and form of food. 

You can eat it, I wouldn't. 

It is optimized to be more addictive than most illegal drugs. 

It WILL give you diabetes real quick. 

Beyond the food, McE Deez isn't always safe. 

Fights break out, and they get ugly. 

I won't say I NEVER go, cause people I'm with will want to, but I avoid them like the plague.

Don't get me wrong, I love the taste of fresh Silicone McNuggets, a large order of Sighs and a large Doctor Pressure. 

But that doesn't mean they are healthy for me.
