McDonald's is nothing like it is used to be.

To think McDonald's is rubbish now.
Burgers taste different now the buns taste/look different.
Yes I know its general crap fast food, but 10 years ago you would get a cheese quarter ponder and enjoy every minute, then maybe 20 mins later think you wish you hadn't as its full of rubbish.
But now its just awful.

I think the burgers are awful now but the nuggets, wraps and apple pies are still as good as ever. Fries you need to get made fresh otherwise they're a bit soggy.

We went to the drive through last week for the first time in ages. No queue to order the food, but then had to wait ten minutes for the food to be made. Hardly ‘fast food’. Do like a Mc Flurry though.

Don't get me started on five guys, crazy expensive and the burgers are completely different this year. Thick and tastless.

Yes expensive now. The taste is nothing like it used to be.
The buns are glossy now.

McDonald's fries are now limp, pale and tasteless.

I agree it's not as good as it was though I still enjoy ot when I have it. BK is far superior though

It's so expensive as well. I may not regret eating a quarter pounder (though don't really like the new chewy sweet shiny cake-y bun) but I do regret the £5 I spent on it. I'm a minimum wage worker so I work half an hour to buy that.

Yeah, disagree I’m afraid. I unashamedly love McDonald’s - only have it a few times a year though. It’s better in the States though, their burger patties are superior.

You’ll have the ‘it’s poison!’ brigade along here in a minute…

Sorry, I disagree. I still enjoy every second of my quarter pounder with cheese meals and regret nothing afterwards!
Also loving you can now get Oasis as a dispensed drink so it's included in the meal deal!
