McDonalds posts its first quarterly loss EVER!

[VangelicSurgeon]

God damn guys! And Burger King was just sold for about a billion dollars less than it would have sold for 6 months ago! Hopefully fast food is on its way out the door.

 

[avi]

i highly doubt it, but it sure is wishful thinking

i wish i could walk around brooklyn and hand out copies of 'fast food nation' to people. it makes me sad. there are like, litearlly 10 mcdonalds in my neighborhood and everyone is all sick, cancer riddled, and fat.

 

[xfer]

like cockroaches, fast food will probably outlast anything the world can throw at it.

 

[minxnim]

maybe not! read fast food nation!

As retarded a lawsuit as it is, a small part of me wants the tubby bastards suing mcdonalds for "making them fat" to win.

 

[minxnim]

interestingly enough. there is an even BETTER lawsuit against mcdonalds (i hope that fat fuck loses. they should sue his parents instead!) but anyway, a black woman complained about racial bias (she is a franchisee of mcdonalds) and they totally fucked her over! so she's suing them.

I read a piece Eric Schlosser (or Schlossberg?) did in the New Yorker when FFN came out where he insinuated that people who said things like OH MY GAWD I WOULDN'T EAT OLESTRA! ANAL LEAKAGE HAH HA HA! were responsible for many deaths. And I agree with him!

 

[minxnim]

dude. my dad's friend mike eats fucking chips with that weird shit on them all the time. and i always ask him if he craps his pants.

well, apparently they don't cause any trouble whatsoever. they have been doing studies that the "anal leakage" is, in like 9,999 of 10,000 people, entirely psychosomatic (and the 1 is an allergy, which can be triggered by a lot of other foods, too). basically, in order to fuel late-night-talk-show jokes, and for non-olestra-using companies to push their merchandise, the "anal leakage" thing was publicized and led to mcdonalds to drop their (very-far-along in the implementation process) plan to replace their fry oil with a mixture of olestra and real fat. the article extrapolated with heart disease figures and that move would've saved THOUSANDS of lives.

but oh well. it was funnier to make fun of anal leakage whether it existed or not than to have a bunch of fat people alive.

 

[avi]

i don't need to read FFN to know that shit's scary out there. I mean, the govn't says there is ZERO OKAY LEVEL for trans fat and yet there's still hydrogenated oil in fucking EVERYTHING.

i love mcdonalds. and the pathetic fat pieces of crap sueing mcdonalds for making them fat is the saddest thing ive ever heard in my life

 

[chupe666]

I think clowns everywhere should sue McDonald's for defacing the good name of clowns worldwide- a happy guy with a white and red face that makes people obscenely fat is no clown in my book.

 

[The Dope]

Well, Ronald McDonald has been laughing all the way to the bank with these fat people's money for some time now. Anyway, its fitting that a clown would represent all things nasty and unhealthy.

nice avatar, dope.

I think mcdonalds is pretty disgusting. the fries are stellar, of course, but the beef is unbelievably fucked. ok, i give credit where credit is due: the chicken selects (rich-dude chicken nuggets) they were test-marketing last year were good, if pricey; of course, they FAILED.

 

[chupe666]

someone i work with mentioned what a friend of his told him (who worked in the meat industry or fda or something):
the only fast food place that uses all 100% Grade A Beef is White Castle. Taco Bell uses some Grade D. I don't know about everyone else.

 

[avi]

I used to love the fries until I found out they had beef fat flavoring.

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

white castle is on my list of fast food places to try, along with in-n-out burger. that's it though.

 

[avi]

in-n-out has good fries and a nice simple menu. no extraneous crap.

 

[xfer]

white castle burgers, whatever their quality of meat, aren't the best-tasting...but i hear in-n-out burgers are super good, like real quality shit. that's a definite stop when i finally hit the west coast.
