jerryskids 5,206 Posted October 8, 2019 A few weeks ago I drove to LA and back. On the way out I got a few egg mcmuffins to start the trip. On the way back I stopped at BK for some big king burger with bacon. I actually didn't eat too poorly in LA, but I managed to gain like 5 pounds in a few days. Otherwise I'm like bostonlager, a few times per year for breakfast if I'm heading somewhere early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 5,891 Posted October 8, 2019 Maybe 1? My son doesn’t really like it. We will stop there if we’re on a road trip though. I like the sausage egg McMuffin especially if they have tobasco. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patweisers44 697 Posted October 8, 2019 I will get McD's about once a month for lunch and about as often for breakfast. Unless I am in Vegas. There is a McD's in the Lobby of The D and I will eat it once or twice per trip. Wife usually sleeps in and if we don't have breakfast planned I will just have that.

supermike80 1,285 Posted October 8, 2019 Not any. But not against it. Thing is the competition runs some pretty great $5 lunch specials. Wendy's, BK, Taco Bell, heck even KFC. I don't see MCD doing that. ETA: Crap, I just realized I go there everyday, for their $1 coffee. So, everyday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimmySmith 2,782 Posted October 8, 2019 Went on Saturday because the (hungover) wife specifically requested it. First time in a long time. No cashiers, everything was order and pay at video stations. And took 15 minutes after that to get food. Never again. (except maybe breakfast) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reality 2,710 Posted October 8, 2019 Once a month sounds about right. Sometimes a McDouble and a small fry sounds phenomenal. They have a decent grilled chicken bacon and ranch salad also. I'm not sure if it's still on the menu but, they still sell it. My spoiled brat 16 year old son won't eat it but, he also holds his breath when a car drives by because.. "lung cancer"... He is very strict about his diet, athlete who is trying to put on muscle, yadda yadda. At 6'1 & 165 lbs, he has his work cut out for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,992 Posted October 8, 2019 Now that I think about it, guess I've been on a MDC's kick here lately. Between the little cheeseburgers and the hot cakes and sausage breakfast - I'd say I've been more than 20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What are they doing to it? This is what the googler says: https://www.myrecipes.com/news/why-mcdonalds-coke-tastes-better There are several reasons, but this one might be the key. McDonald’s also mixes their syrup-to-water ratio to account for ice melt. That means the drink has a slightly higher ratio at sip number one to make sure that sips four, five, and six are supremely refreshing too. This is also why you should never order your McDonald’s Coca-Cola without ice. You’d be totally messing with the carefully designed soda experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
