Fuck you, McDonald's

Those of you only interested in telling me I'm unreasonable for eating in McDonald's, can save your fingers. I'm not going to be back in a hurry, Christmas fucking music (Noddy Holder followed by Tom Jones) and worse, they've changed the barbecue sauce and now it's minging. I came in here for some emotional eating and I'm leaving enraged. Angry

The RIGHTEOUS McD dip combination is sour cream and sweet chilli sauce. Both, together at the same time.

BBQ sauce is for beginners.

But of course @sandyhappypeople

Good to know that there’s two BBQ sauces now. I do like the “normal” BBQ sauce with my fries.

I really like the sound of jalapeño sauce but my biggest bugbear is why there is never mayonnaise as a dip? Fortunately my local McDs is about a two minute walk away so I bring the filthy deliciousness home and use my own mayonnaise…but WHY isn’t it available as a dip?

Ah, see, this is where KFC comes into play. They do an amazing garlic mayonnaise dip.
Dipping thier fries (albeit inferior to McD fries) into garlic mayonnaise is the best.

McD could learn athing about starting a mayonnaise dip.

@EllaMenopee my son peels his chicken nuggets too and calls them naked nuggets.

Kids are gross 😂

Does he eat the bit he peels off? That's the best bit!

I'm a fan of sour cream but they ALWAYS forget to give me despite paying 30p

They money they make from my 30ps as its horrific trying to a refund from Uber ears when you use the McDonald's app

I live in a Maccys-heavy area (honestly that now deleted poster would probably pass out from rage walking around my town). I refuse to order from one for this exact reason, they never put dips in the bag. I want to ask, are they dip deficient? Do their drivers have a dip addiction issue and eat them all in the car? Do they just hate me and my need for sour cream? I’ll never know…

CharlieRummer · 15/11/2023 20:50

Wait...they've change the bbq sauce? When? How did you know? Is it in a different pack? I'll fully boycott those F*ers if they mess with that sauce?!?!?!

Team Maccies here. And fuck the Xmas music.

so sad they’ve changed the bbq sauce smh

Gerrataere · 15/11/2023 19:23

@EllaMenopee they now have two BBQ sauce, one Smokey and one normal. Maybe they accidentally gave you the Smokey one?

Last few times I’ve had a Maccys it’s not been great. Bar the new sour cream and chive dip, that is immense. Better than Dominoes one!

The elite dip combination is sweet curry with sour cream and chive

I have never eaten a Macdonalds I didn't regret.

For sure their burgers are yummy, their fries hit the spot.

And within the hour of that happy consumption you just can't shake the film of grease on the roof of your mouth.

Your tongue scrubs and it scrubs. Let it scrub some more.

Nope, you've got the film in your mouth that's Macdonalds regret.

Mumaway · 15/11/2023 20:39

I have felt the same since they stopped doing the sweet mustard dip.

Weirdo ds peels his nuggets while dipping his chips in his milkshake 😱

Show quote history

I went out with a friend once who peeled his chicken in kfc.. it was quite the ordeal sitting opposite, I’ve not been since.. 😳

I can talk though, I’m not a fry dipper, but I do like a mouthful of chicken nugget and a mouthful of chocolate milkshake at the same time.. I also dip my Big Mac in sweet & sour sauce too. I make no excuses.

I was actually going to start a thread about their syrup that goes with the breakfast pancakes. Does anyone know if you can buy a similar type in the supermarket? They don't call it "Maple Syrup" but I don't know if that's what it essentially is.
Thanks.

Some kind of corn syrup I would guess, the most unhealthy sweet stuff you can find. No idea what they added to it.

Used a lot in cake making.

I wonder how many 'McDonald's orphans' @LNY1986 is willing to take? 🤔

I’ll hand mine over, I could really do with a break. Plus then I’d get to eat a McDonalds in peace for once.

The sauces have changed! McDonald's used to manufacture all their sauces in the north west, near where I live. They've moved production, and last I heard they couldn't get the same taste due to the different water hardness in the new area. That bit might be bullshit, but that's what people are saying.

Lol ! Nothing to do with cost cutting measures, I'm sure.

Try "pancake syrup" in American food shops/aisles. It was usually Aunt Jemima brand but I believe she's been renamed for PC reasons.

May i recommend the brownie.

This is my go to when the mcflurry/milkshake machine is inevitably broken.

Their brownies are lovely.

Was it the round tub that comes with the chicken tenders? That stuff is awful but

I am partial to the sweet curry these days. So much so the last time I went, at breakfast time, I bought 4 tubs must have looked so weird but I live over an hours drive away.

Christmas music is to be expected everywhere from now on. It's the people that work there that have to listen to it all day I feel for!

@BeverForget no "Fairytale of New York" is the best Christmas song 🙂
