I could easily do that. And probably some cheese dipper things on the side

CookPassBabtridge · 22/09/2021 18:55

I have 20 nuggets, cheeseburger, sometimes a wrap, 2 large fries and a mcflurry 🐷 It's a rare treat!

UniBallEye · 22/09/2021 18:57

I usually get 6 chicken nuggets with bbq dip, a double cheeseburger medium meal with a diet coke.

Dh has quarter pounder with cheese medium meal with sprite or milkshake and I give him a few of my nuggets if he wants them

dd (teen) gets 9 chicken nuggets with bbq dip, cheeseburger and a milkshake

Sorry, none. I’ve never got past ordering coffee from McDonalds when taking SD through the drive thru. Can’t get past the smell - as though they haven’t changed the cooking oil for years !!

NotMyCat · 22/09/2021 18:58

Have previously eaten
Quarter pound with cheese
Large fries
Large milkshake
3 chicken selects
Mozzarella dippers
Apple pie
Blush

ThePotatoCroquette · 22/09/2021 19:00

I used to order a double bacon cheeseburger, 2 chicken mayos, a large fries, mozzarella sticks if they had them otherwise 6 nuggets, a hot apple pie, a toffee sundae or creme egg McFlurry, a strawberry milkshake and a large coke. Those were the days when I didn't have to worry about my figure and had disposable income and no other priorities but my own needs and wants 😂

DollyPartBaked · 22/09/2021 19:03

I'm actually thrilled that other people have additions to the meal - when my OH introduced the 'side dish' of nuggets / selects I thought it was excessive but now I would be sad without it Grin

SaborDeSoledad · 22/09/2021 19:05

Gosh, yes, a quarter of a chip is waaay too many carbs. But aren't you bothered about the amount of sugar in a carrot?

SaborDeSoledad · 22/09/2021 19:06

Sorry that was for @Tooembarrassingtomention!

Iampicklerick · 22/09/2021 19:07

I usually get a Chicken Nugget Happy Meal and apple pie.

I’ll shut the door on my way out!

SummerHouse · 22/09/2021 19:07

@TheSpottedZebra

Is the 'meal' with drink too? And if so, did you have that also?

And what order did you eat, all of one burger + chips, then other burger + chips, or did you graze?

Ah my subconscious arrived ahead of me I see. Grin
PurpleDaisies · 22/09/2021 19:08

The current vegetarian option is a bit poor. I miss their old spicy bean burger. Breakfast is my favourite meal there.

@VippingQ

I once ate 7 cheeseburgers when I was on a trip to Amsterdam having spent the previous few hours in a coffee shop.
I think @VippingQ is my perfect travel buddy.

I feel like every meal should have a side of chicken nuggets or selects. My DC now have a happy meal with burger etc. Then have a side of nuggets to share.
MouseholeCat · 22/09/2021 19:21

I don't like fries so when I have an occasional McDonalds I will sometimes order a Big Mac, a Cheeseburger and a Coke but that's my limit. It's less stomach capacity, more that it triggers reflux.

VienneseWhirligig · 22/09/2021 19:22

I can manage a QPC meal with a milkshake and apple pie, or nuggets instead of the pie. But only if I've not eaten all day. I love a McDonald's but it's really filling.

yippyyippy · 22/09/2021 19:25

Big Mac
Fries
Mozzarella sticks
Cheeseburger chaser and a banana milkshake :)

@sharpenyourknives

None...find it quite disgusting
Congratulations. Why on earth would you bother contributing to a thread about McDonald's? Well, I suppose you wouldn't feel superior for not liking it if you actually kept shtum.
MonicaGellerBing · 22/09/2021 19:28

I always get
Large Big Mac meal with Fanta
Cheeseburger
9 chicken nuggets

Workinghardeveryday · 22/09/2021 19:48

These days I have a large Big Mac meal and polish off kids fries as well as 4/6 nuggets. In the day I could easy eat 2 Big Mac meals 😁.

Oooo could just eat Big Mac... and 2 large fries with bbq sauce of course with a sprite and a few nuggets - no no, 2 Big Macs. Scrap the nuggets, room for Big Mac 😁

Workinghardeveryday · 22/09/2021 19:51

Dp gets Big Tasty, 9 nuggets, double cheeseburger with bacon, 2 large fries, chicken selects, McFlurry!!!! 😇 and still not full!!!!

CoffeeRunner · 22/09/2021 19:57

I don't like McDonald's but could happily eat an XL bacon double cheeseburger, chicken royale with cheese & fries from Burger King!

We don't have one anywhere nearby so it's a very rare treat!

@SirenSays

I can never finish a big mac meal, I do have two shakes with it though as I pinch the one from the dogs happy meal.
Am I the only one who noticed the dog getting a happy meal? I need more information. What does the dog have in its happy meal and does it get the toy?
RagzReturnsRebooted · 22/09/2021 20:10

We had a side of mozzarella sticks once by accident when they messed up a drive through order. It had never occurred to me to order sides before. I feel like I've been missing out, clearly I'm doing Mcdonalds wrong!

I miss supersize fries. As a teenager by boyfriend loved Mcdonalds, I'd never really been before we were together (poverty upbringing in rural Wales) and I didn't like the burgers (or the smell of the place!) so I would have a supersize portion of fries, with ketchup mixed with bbq sauce and pepper in the little paper cup things (covid killed those!) and a chocolate milkshake. Heavenly (but had to eat outside, because of the smell!).
These days I can eat a proper meal though, but they are always rather disappointing and never enough fries!
