Will a McDonald's be edible after a 30min car ride?

[Tulipsy272]

We all fancy a McDonald's but the nearest is 30 mins away. We can use justeat but will it be a disgusting let down?

I won't eat delivered McDonalds because I like it actually hot. Whereas my DC will eat anything in McDonalds packaging!

I bloody hope so or I've unintentionally poisoned myself many times :).

No. It’ll be horribly disappointing.

Get a dominos or Chinese instead

Drive through
Park up
Eat in car

Just microwave it

I've hungover eaten chicken nuggets the morning after a post night out feast.

I work nights and always buy us burger to microwave for 30 seconds in the middle of the night, reheats beautifully!

Fuck the rules, McDonald's cravings have to be given in to.

Cold McDonald's is disgusting, and I can eat anything!

I got some as a treat for my children yesterday, it's about 10 mins away and I took an insulated picnic bag. It was fine, apparently. I don't think I'd risk 30 minutes though.

I have eaten McDonalds way over 30 minutes. Always fine. Cold, but fine

Drive thru and eat in the car , we did that this morning for breakfast after my daughter had her covid jab . They also have nice McFlurrys at the moment .

Tbf that is a point. My best MCDs have been eaten in a car.

It's macdonalds. It won't be edible 20 seconds after purchase.

Why? What will happen to it, I can't think of anything that would render it inedible so I'm going to conclude that you think you're somehow superior to people who like fast food.

I don't care for it myself but I'm not a knob so don't feel the need to belittle those who do like it.

We live 20 minutes away from ours. It's OK, but the chips will be soggy and lukewarm. That said, normal chips survive this better than whatever fancy chips - curly fries, wedges, etc that they have. Although if they are wedges then you can reheat them in the oven if you wanted to.

Make sure you get all the burgers freshly made by requesting a small change for each one, like no tomato, no cheese, no onion, extra burger, etc. Helps them not be stone cold.

If you have a seat heater or insulated bag (great idea!) use that.

Just microwave it

Do you have an air fryer? If so, the chips could go in there, they come out as good as new. Nuggets too. Burgers fair very well in the microwave but obvs wouldn't work for anything with mayo.

I microwave the burger for one minute and it's much better than when you eat it "fresh" from the place. They're never hot when you get them. Much better microwaved, even 3 hours later.

I always buy a 'later burger' when I go to McDonald's, double cheeseburger I warm later on, never reheated the chips though

Its not edible in the “restaurant “ let alone driving home with it🤢

Decent food sometimes gets better with age - shite food needs to be consumed rapidly..

What will happen to it that makes it so inedible? Compared to a different form of take away?

I really don't get the whole McDonald's snobbery these days?

If I've got a McDonald's Fillet o' fish craving then I'm afraid I'd be driving there - odd that just a couple of weeks ago infact. Deliberately went to a supermarket a bit further away as I knew there was one next door.

Enjoyed every bite!

@Abraxan - can I ask what your much loved McDonalds tasted like? I am only asking because last time I had one about 11 years ago it literally tasted of nothing. It was the oddest sensation.

You can drive 30 mins to collect a take away. Less risky than driving 30 mins to the supermarket.

Ooh no it'll be all sweaty and luke warm. I don't think the microwave makes it any less sweaty. McFlurrys would be pourable.

I don't allow eating in my car and certainly not Maccys. We would have to go in DH's to do that, but I still don't like eating in the car.

We did go and get a breakfast a few weeks ago but it was borderline cold/sweaty when we got home.
