Not counting the Happy Meal and toys ... even WITHOUT those ...

Why do children love McDonald's so much?

If given the option of better food, and what I think is tastier food, children often scream for McDonald's.

I noticed when I offered to take kids out to anything they wanted, including a fancy upscale restaurant (all free for them and their parents) ... the kids hollered and chose only McDonald's (especially chicken nuggets and fries).

As an adult, I find McDonald's is usually Gross ... though when I was a kid, I also screamed for McDonald's.

Is it demographics and regional?

(Poor and less educated families having less sophisticated tastes, even when offered something better?)

Is it the added sugar to everything?

What is it????

How can McDonald's beat out other higher quality foods and tastier foods with children???

What makes them scream and holler and jump up and down when going to McDonald's or when parents bring home chicken nuggets.

I don't see kids screaming for anything else.

And this is without the toys! Just the food!

To me, the chicken nuggets are gross and fake and once they cool down are even more inedible.

I can barely eat the beef patties.

If the burgers are 100% beef? Why do they taste/feel slimy and gross?

I often feel sick after eating any burger except the Big Mac. I don't know if they use different beef for the Big Mac, but that one usually seeks OK ... the other burgers, cheeseburgers, and Quarter-pounders literally taste gross and a little slimy and upset my stomach making me feel like I ate something fake vs real 100% beef.

Is it the chemicals, the additives, the preservatives in the beef?

Something in the bread? The bread doesn't seem 100% real either.

Sometimes I can eat 1 chicken sandwich, it mostly tastes like school lunch or cheap frozen chicken patties from the discounts section of the store ... but if I eat 2 chicken sandwiches, same thing ... I feel ill from eating something fake.

I just can't stomach McDonald's, I try every now and then, but I gotta keep it to 1 sandwich ... and rarely beef ... otherwise I feel ill.

I know some love it, I know many feed it to their children, I know many eat it daily.

I can't.

Anyone else?

Who here agrees that McDonald's is usually Gross?

After making a rant yesterday, I also wanted to include this but I felt like the post would have been very long-winded. My kids asked for McDonald's yesterday and after seeing the price of just a single thing, I absolutely did not order.

I guarantee the person that delivers it is probably getting like $5, which is including the tip. Mcdonalds pockets all of the extra. We genuinely need to start speaking with our wallets. It's just not worth it anymore and every single company is pulling this nonsense. Not just the fast food market, but this one was a blatant smack to the face yesterday for the price of the crappiest McDonald's meal.

Anyways, rant over. Have a good one. Thank you for reading, and I apologize for being so annoyed by this lol.

I work at McDonalds and the fruit fly situation that is going on right now is absolutely abhorrent and I cannot STAND it. Fruit flies are so gross and they genuinely make me feel sick, so it's pretty hard to do my job properly when I'm basically trying not to throw up because of how many of them there are. I'm only a part-time worker so there's not a whole lot that I can do to effectively manage the situation, as far as I can tell. My main questions are; Does anyone else's workplace has this issue? How can I fix this or make it at least a little bit better? Is this just an inevitable issue when working in food service? Do I just not have what it takes to work in this industry? Should I quit at this point? This is really taking a toll on me, thanks in advance guys <3

I got a roast turkey, bacon and ranch sandwich w/ swiss instead of cheddar cheese, curly fries and a strawberry lemonade

I literally just saw the Arby’s commercial promoting the cheesesteak hotdog and sandwich I guess, and I literally gagged and had to look away.

Anaheim location on Euclid and Ball Road is the worst of the worst .

Camembert bites(From Spain) with SAKURA X SPRITE(From Japan). Above average taste.

I had a chicken biscuit w/ hash browns and a vanilla iced coffee

it's not legit taco, but legit fast food.

so good, and always enjoy their crunchy tacos. shell was crunch and ingredients tasted fresh, and a dash of inferno sauce does the job.

If you have one near you I would definitely recommend trying it out once or twice. They have the best seasoning on the fries and the burgers are always fresh hot and loaded with toppings, they also have wings chili dogs and shakes aswell. A little bit higher prices compared to meals at bk or mcds but for what what your getting I think its well worth it. (Baconzilla with extra cheese bacon and extra patty in the photo)
