No food at Maccy D

Adey

What a mad world we live in now where we rely so heavily on IT interfaces - you can't order your obesity burger because the internet is broken!

I suppose that is progress in some ways....

That's hardly news, at least not if you care about what food you eat

People who get their lunch from Pret etc end up consuming far more calories than at McDonalds yet none of the flak goes their way. 

There is a reason for that.

I quite like an occasional McDonalds.

I always push the button marked "extra evil" on the app - gets me 5% off.

Brekkie muffins are OK, but burgers are generally very uninspiring in my opinion.

Is it that Pret isn't manky?

Isn't Pret owned by Maccies anyway?

EDIT: It was, but isn't any more.

According to Wikipedia they owned 33% of it but sold up in 2008. It’s wholly owned by JAB who own coffee places in Europe and Krispy Kreme (it’s a big holding company) amongst other things. JAB on a surprisingly long list of companies founded by Nazi sympathisers.

This is nonsense. The app and digital ordering was down. But there wasn't a lack of food. You could still go in and order food and even pay with a card.

I like Maccys.

But it's the simple things that are better. A simple double cheese burger is far better than the ones they load up with crap. 
I do really like the Fillet O Fish. But I can do a fish finger sandwich at home too.

Their new White Chocolate and Raspberry dessert pie is excellent.

It wasn't meant as a serious editorial headline. Sorry if there was any confusion. Just a bit of silly nonsense....

Sorry

Haiku time...

Maccys app is down
Have to order at counter
Is this the nineties?

Back up a bit, when did McDonalds ever serve food to begin with?

The nineties were grunge
And Maccys has always been
Grungy as McHell

Yes: McDonalds does not sell food.

I like the occasional chicken Lettice mayo and standard burger meduim fries .
We have only recently had delivery here so it’s still a bit of a novelty .
Couldn't get one last night tho.

fretmeister

I really fancy it now.

They don’t deliver to me though, and I’m watching the rugby so I’m not going out.

Burger King are nicer anyway

Burgers, definitely. Fries, no.

Nothing beats a Wimpy burger.
