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

I won 6 chicken nuggets for 99p before 12am if anyone wants my code. Never got on board with nuggets 🤢

Maybe that's because you don't get jalapeño sauce.

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 teenagers do. I think it's the trendy thing to do.

🤷🏻‍♀️

I wonder how many 'McDonald's orphans' @LNY1986 is willing to take? 🤔

WHAT 😱 I’m definitely a spice person…where is this sauce you speak of!!!!!

Whiteday · 15/11/2023 20:07

@Violahastings fucking brilliant 😂

Maple syrup is 100% maple syrup. Country of origin has nothing to do with this designation. There is American and Swedish maple syrup a well as Canadian. Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, and New York sell different grades of syrup. Some lighter syrups are better for pancakes, and darker syrup is for baking. There is also solid maple sugar, which is coarser grained than cane or beet sugar. American abolitionists often used only maple sugar and honey as sweetening to avoid purchases of slave produced goods.

@Ericaequites thanks. That's very educational 🙂

Dipping fries in milkshake and peeling his nuggets???

Kids these days - out of control.

The food is okish, i prefer the burgers when on special offer, otherwise its fries, and chicken burger or basic burgers, some times i have a hot choc but its a mix, i do love the pancakes and syrup.

You’re literally the person OP told to fuck off in her OP. All that brain food and not a single cell floating around in the soup huh?

Mind you, must be hard to read with all that smug in the room.

WinterBerry7 · 15/11/2023 20:11

The Philly cheesesteak special they’re doing at the minute is banging. I’ll be sad when it goes.

I also miss the bagels. As well as one breakfast special they did which was sausage, mushrooms and cheese on a floured type roll. It was divine.

That’s a bit harsh 😂😂😂 I sometimes wish that when I ask my 10 year old what she wants for tea, it isn’t ‘McDonald’s’ and that is partly my fault because when I can’t be arsed I dump McDonald’s on her! To children, McDonald’s is learnt behaviour cravings!

I’m a chip dunker and have been for years. The kids ain’t taking this one from me, they can have the skinny brows and the flares, but not the chips dunked in shake.

Cannot get my toddler on board with any sort of nugget though 🤷‍♀️

@UndertheCedartree I wonder if "maple syrup" one of those things that can only be called that if it is actually made in Canada?
You can only get Golden Syrup made by Tate and Lyle can't you? I've never seen an own brand 🤔

Yes, that's a good point. It could be some kind of McDonalds brand maple or golden syrup?

Did you see her response… not harsh enough in my opinion 😂

I am slightly more FUCKYOU McDonalds for their appalling treatment of their younger staff

The one near me only lets you do this up to a certain time 🙁. The drive thru is always packed as well and so slow.

Ours too. I go in, get the food, take it to the car. It is better than the other options I think, easy to check it is right (and hot) easy to check dips etc. Slightly more faff, but always right.

I’m a Brit, living in the US. It’s just called Pancake Syrup. It’s delicious (never look at the ingredients).

Fuck you, McDonald's

I am addicted to caramel frappes - everything else is pants!

My DH has now discovered these, much to his delight, we only go to Macy’s about 4 times a year but I swear nearly every time the milkshake machine is not working.. in any branch! It ruins the whole thing 😡

except now DH has discovered caramel frappes he’s in the ‘I’m all right jack’ camp, I would join him but I don’t like coffee..

if they ever get rid of the sweet & sour sauce I don’t think I’d ever go there!
