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

Probably not, I had my first 5 children adopted because I felt so guilty about feeding them McDonalds on holiday once 🤷‍♀️

Well, it was the very least you could do to be fair @NalafromtheLionKing😁

(Small voice) I really like the smoky bbq sauce. Its nicer than the ordinary one.

@UndertheCedartree I don't think it's actual Golden Syrup cos that's more like glue and the McDonald's one isn't.
I have only recently discovered the joy of their pancakes and syrup. Mmmm 🥞

I remember for an April Fools, McD announced they were starting a new milkshake sauce.

Apparently there are people who like to dip their fries in their milkshake.
When they found out it was an April Fools, they were really gutted.

I was just astonished people dip fries in milkshake.
Who are these weirdos?
Fess up, do any of you dip your fries in your milkshake?

Edited

My DD dips her fries in her Mcflurry! It's sweet and salty, I guess!

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.

Isn't it golden syrup? Same as what you can have on the pancakes?

@Differentstarts they aren't carrots at the moment. They are "reindeer treats".

You mean an organic carrot 🥕 surely?

I know not of the jalapeño sauce? Since when?

Ooh, you are missing out!

I cannot believe you don't have this option. I'm not in UK though but I did just assume McD offerings were the same everywhere.

Wouldn't mind sampling the BBQ sauce you all get and like, as ours (smokey) is bloody awful.

@NalafromtheLionKing serves you right really!

At least you did the recent thing!

*decent

Needmorelego · 15/11/2023 19:44

@Robinbuildsbears they forget the syrup 😱
I'd sue them for that 😂
Back when you used to have to pump the sauces out of those dispenser things my daughter would make her own mix of the BBQ and tomato sauce plus salt and pepper.
It was gross ....but she liked it. Weirdo.

It has to be a jalapeño sauce every time, surely?

We only get that smokey BBQ sauce and I'm not a fan. I feel like I have been cheated now. Our other choice is sweet and sour and that is also all sorts of wrong.

Our ice cream machine is finally working though. Which is a miracle seeing as it's summer weather. It only seems to operate well in winter when ice cream isn't in demand.

It should be illegal to play those songs until December 1st at the absolute earliest. There are only a small amount of them and just play on a loop over and over again.
Next time do what I do and use the drive thru! Haven’t had a McD’s in bloody ages and now I’m really fancying a hamburger (it’s my favourite, don’t judge me for being a child 😂 I have 2 if I’m really hungry!) and fries for my lunch tomorrow.
Can’t comment on the bbq sauce, it’s gross and I won’t eat it in any of its ghastly guises.
