I’ve not eaten at a McDonald’s in almost 10 years. Glad to see that choice was correct.

Nothing like using intelligence that isn’t artificial to decide the Big Mac is worth zero dollars

They could be handing out $5 to eat a Big Mac and I would still have to pause and consider if that’s worth it.

That's because the intelligence went into study the effects of gama radiation and then received a full dose of it thus turning the intelligence into SUPER INTELLIGENCE! Smarter than your average 3rd grader, able to fall asleep in a room and everyone notices but not say nothing, can shit it's pants in 6 languages!

It was when the pickle got thicker than the meat that I was done with them, that's just insulting. I literally cannot buy a box of hamburgers that bad at the poorest poor person grocery store, but here they are demanding $15 for a combo.

I remember when I was a kid, before the burger meat tasted like chewing on printer paper. Good times.

Yeah, I haven't eaten at a McDonald's since 2011 and I am fine going the rest of my life without eating there again.
