Had a MCchicken sandwich, strawberry milkshake and chips for afternoon snack lunch. So good. Tasted like 1997.

What would you have? I'm buying

2018; Signature BBQ burger with fries and a coke no ice / toffee sundae
1997; McChicken Sandwich meal with a banana milkshake, cinnamon doughnut

Unless the McRib was in and OMG one of those!!!

SadTrombone · 13/07/2018 22:12

Quarter pounder with cheese
Fries
Sprite zero or coke zero
Toffee sundae

Occasionally a strawberry milkshake if I am feeling adventurous...!

chaunceygardener · 13/07/2018 22:12

I have no idea! The only time I have ever had one was when someone else has ordered and I just had what they had. Burger and fries. And it might have been BurgerKing!

VetOnCall · 13/07/2018 22:12

I don't eat it any more (mostly stopped eating meat) but my order was always a regular Big Mac meal with Sprite and a side of mozzarella dippers if they were on. The chicken selects are good too with both the sour cream and chive and sweet chilli dips.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 13/07/2018 22:12

arethereanyleftatall How long ago did you work there? Because you would absolutely (and rightfully so) get fired for that, and that’s been the case ever since I’ve worked there.

TheFrendo · 13/07/2018 22:13

I understand that you like the food, but I have no idea what you are paying for it.

For an ignorant poster, how much do these orders cost?

EvilMorty · 13/07/2018 22:13

I’ve never had a Big Mac because I can’t eat that shitty cheese that looks like yellow cling film.

gorgeoushazydaysofsummer · 13/07/2018 22:13

QP with cheese, fries and Diet Coke!

foxssoxareinthebox · 13/07/2018 22:14

A coke.

moronseverywhere · 13/07/2018 22:15

20 chicken nuggets bbq sauce large sprite and a McMuffin for breakfast no cheese Grin

CheeseGirl4 · 13/07/2018 22:15

I haven't had a McDonalds for a decade, but used to like the filet of fish & hash browns (I know they're served at different times, but this is fantasy). And as it's fantasy, I'll step back to 1988 and have a toffee sundae as well please. Skip the drink.

VetOnCall · 13/07/2018 22:15

I will start going back though if they ever bring back the hot fudge sundae in the UK just for those. I bloody love them, they still seem to do them in most places abroad so every time I travel I have to find a McDs or 10 to get my fix.

londonloves · 13/07/2018 22:15

Quarter pounder with cheese, fries (given away to glutinous friend) and Diet Coke. Omg 1997.

TheFrendo Prices vary slightly depending on where you are in the UK, but a medium extra value meal is roughly £4.59 (includes most of the obvious ones like Big Mac, Quarter, 6 Nuggets etc), with a large being 40p more at £4.99.

Obviously if you go for our promotional burgers or premium items, you will be spending a little more.

EvilMorty · 13/07/2018 22:16

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue My friend worked there in about 1999 and used to do the same 😂 it would feed all of us when we met her for lunch

EvilMorty · 13/07/2018 22:16

Vetoncall they do it here in north london!

bitheby · 13/07/2018 22:19

Big Mac Meal with a chocolate milkshake. I think that pretty much has been my order since 1997. Sometimes I shake things up and have two cheeseburgers instead of the Big Mac. Or, if the toy is good, a Happy Meal Grin

Charley50 · 13/07/2018 22:19

Sausage and egg McMuffin, hash brown, tea coffee or juice, barbecue sauce.

VetOnCall · 13/07/2018 22:19

Evil what??!! Where?! I live in Devon but I will actually consider driving to get one Grin

Loonoon · 13/07/2018 22:19

Sausage McMuffin, hash brown, hot choc. Followed by Dairy Milk McFlurry. Just getting dressed to go to a v posh restaurant with clients of DH. Would much rather have a McFlurry.

Neverhot · 13/07/2018 22:20

Big tasty with fries and a vanilla milkshake please!

raisedbyguineapigs · 13/07/2018 22:21

Id have a quarter pounder meal with vanilla milkshake. If I was going special, Id have one of the new signature ones either bbq or spicy but no bacon.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 13/07/2018 22:21

EvilMorty Yeah, thankfully times have moved on and you would get fired for that now.

Sparklingbrook · 13/07/2018 22:22

I can't eat a lot of it as it doesn't agree with me, especially the burgers. I think the chicken nuggets taste really strange.

Sometimes DH and I will have a Mcdonalds dirty breakfast but try not to think too much about what's in it. The cheese is really weird. But when you are really hungry it's quite good. Grin

The teenagers seem to still like it every now and again, especially now they have those boards you order at and they don't even have to speak to anyone or mess with cash.

SilentBob · 13/07/2018 22:22

When I was a (bad) vegetarian I would order a cheeseburger with no burger, fries and Coke or whatever (the drink was always superfluous to the tiny onions which I could eat by the spoonful)

Now I am an omnivore and I would order a cheeseburger, fries and one of those strawberry lemon drinks.

Honestly, I just love those tiny tiny onions on the cheeseburgers.
