Wow
I remember when the Maccas in my country tried to do a 'kiwburger'. Not a burger made of kiwis, or kiwifruit, but a burger that had as well as the beef pattie it had an egg and beetroot!

Then there was a catchy jingle that we all sang on the ads about it.

Macca's also tried to take over Georgie Pie, and put them out of business. They bought up all their restaurants and turned them into Maccas, and even tried to sell their own Georgie Pies in their chain stores BUT they were never as good as the original. How I miss Georgie Pie.

I'm actually more partial to Wendy's. In fact I hope to go there today after I take Dad to the doctors. As, like MacDonalds, its emergency food. I will get the value meal only $7 or...maybe the baked potato with sour cream and chives.


Yeah, Wendy's is really good. I used to work there part time as a teenager and I can vouch for them that it is real meat. Every morning they get a fresh shipment of ground beef and we have to patty it ourselves with a patty machine. If the burger patty doesn't end up in a hamburger made to order, after a certain period of time within the day, we make chili out of that so that it doesn't get wasted. People will eat up chili because it's so good and comforting! We use the chili also to top backed potatoes and nachos. We don't get much left at the end of the day.

I had my Wendy's, I'm happy
They don't have happy meals like McD, but doesn't matter, I'm a grown up.

I had deluxe cheeseburger, small fries (love the fries, nice and thick) and a hot chocolate. No frosty, maybe next time. It was so good! And I don't feel guilty at all. Why would I?

I redeemed my Hells pizzas wheels. I had read 21 books, so got 3 pizzas.

The snack size pizzas are 333s. The normal pizzas are 666

They have a 111 phone number for emergency pizza delivery. I just went in and picked up.

Christians are meant to be saved from Hell, I walked into the fiery furnace and had no ill effects.

I had Maccas the other day.
Filet o'Fish, french fries and a hot chocolate made with almond milk.
It's been a while since I had Maccas and they all have the new touch screen things down pat. You don't even have to wait in line anymore they bring it to your table, even you can order from the app on your phone. (I don't eat Macca's enough for that)

Yes, some might say its trashy, I mean literally you have to throw away all your packaging, tray liner, and cups at the end of your meal and who knows where it goes in the land fill, but as say it's emergency food, you got no time to set the table, prep and cook and do dishes and your tummy is growling at you. I would not feel guilty about that at all.

If its like a regular thing though, having it more than once a week or whatever (haven't had it in months) then it might be a problem. I mean it's not the cheapest food you could have. But I suspect that, for those of us who have these emergencies, who don't even have kitchens to cook in, hot fast food can be a life saver.

Why must everything be bad? Why do people who are just trying to live, said to have 'bad taste' or things to be looked down on as trashy and no good? Is there some kind of snob value or reverse hipster thing going on that now is making artisan coffee or whatever cool and outrageously expensive? Remember when it became fashionable to look like you got your clothes from a dumpster, and now they selling them for huge markup? Well what about the times when all you could afford were clothes from an op shop. It was shameful then.

Some of these comedians humour is a bit twisted. I must say in the OP. I was like. No, that's not the way I see McDonalds. It's not the way I see a lot of things. You like what you like, don't feel guilty about the little things that give you pleasure. If others see it as trashy, so what.
 
Jim Gaffigan once said:


What is your McDonald's? What do you do, that you always regret, but you know you'll do it again later?

Energy drinks?

Bad romantic relationship?

Something you're allergic to, but eat anyway?

The latest Netflix series, that you know won't be good, but you watch anyway?
😄 I used to say bad relationships but I’ve learned from that and I don’t go down that road anymore.


These days my “McDonald’s of the soul” is probably comfort shopping. Books and yarn. I’ll buy yarn even when I don’t really have time to knit and the same goes for books I’m not sure when I’ll get around to reading.
 
I go to the library and read books without paying anything.

It's a pleasure and I don't feel guilty. Also sometimes I read chick lit. Haven't quite got the stage where I will read a Mills and Boon, but I read Sweet Valley High as a teen so pretty much the same thing.

Did you know Francine Pascal didn't actually write any of the Sweet Valley High books. She just plotted them out and got ghostwriters to write them.

I had no idea about that—that’s kind of surprising!

My weakness is books, especially sprayed edge editions and special editions. I can never resist them. I also visit the library from time to time and borrow books instead of always buying them… though I still end up with more books than I have time to read.

That sounds really familiar. I know somebody else, who has a large presence here on the forum, who does the same thing.
 
I read a book called Marilyn and her books
It's about Marilyn Monroe and her books of course. She had a collection of 430 of them.
I don't have that many as am always reading them then giving them away. I keep reference ones.

Of course the books she read were all pre 1962.

I was surprised to read that people (ie Men of the Internet) made fun of her for reading books. Or they didn't even think she could read. Uh...? How do they think actors learn their lines. When you on a movie set, there's a lot of waiting around to get the shots. What do you do? A lot of actors read books.

She loved Russian Literature. And of course she married a playwright.
 
My Mcdonald's is breakfast sandwiches: sausage patty, egg, and cheese on an english muffin (or if I'm feeling fancy a croissant). I used to get them at mcdonald's but it's cheaper and higher quality to make my own so I do.

I found out they don't do scrambled eggs for breakfast anymore. :-( That was my favourite with a hash brown.
The egg in a muffin with patty isn't quite the same.

Making at home is better and cheaper but I'm not always home when I need a filling breakfast.

I'm wondering..should I write my own books instead of reading other people's? I mean I don't see anything wrong with mass market paperbacks. Sometimes you just need something to read that's not online or a trashy magazine ya know.
And before I put magazines in the trash (or actually the paper recycle) I will cut out and save the recipes and do the crosswords.

If McDon... Ahem... "Maccas" stopped selling scrambled eggs here they would lose a third of their business. This here's the South.

Last night you'd be pleased to know I made cheeseburgers for dinner at home.

Take that maccas!! You ain't getting my custom no more!

The cheeseburger was so good, I didn't even need skinny fries and a sippy cup with a straw!
They really are better than Maccas.

Next try making a sandwich out of a third of a pound of sausage. Best burger you'll ever have. Just make a big 1/3 pound sausage patty and cook it like any other burger.

You mean a thirder pounder?

I don't have pickles, or gherkins but I do have onions.
Also my burgers don't have sesame seeds, but the buns were TOASTED so they were much nicer, with real butter. And Watties tomato sauce.

Onions... Yes that would go well with a big sausage burger.
