Is McD's going down the road of "New Coke"?

People really are that Low Class.

What a low class thing to say.

I like White Castles and Jack in the Box tacos too.

The first mistake is comparing these "specialty products " to real food. They are good for what they are. They scratch an itch. Healthy and nutritional? Baby please.

Like the sound of a hot cow patty hitting the ground when they fire up that strawberry shake machine. Out comes a color not found in nature.

So yeah, I'm not going to snob out on McDonald's. I'll order a McDouble with EXTRA onions and swill it down with a frothy pink substance....just cause.

For a fast-food burger, it is mighty hard to beat Hardee’s/Carl’s Jr.

Not a McD’s fan, but if I’m working two jobs making a combined 65K/yr and have four young hungry boys, I’m glad I have access to 40 McNuggets for $11.00.

Use the app. Deals to be had like 2 Medium fries for $2.10 when a small fry will set you back $1.99 by itself. BOGO etc etc. Earn points for free food as well.

When we are up north, it is tradition after a late night casino run for my wife and I to stop at White Castle for a sack of Jalapeno Cheeseburgers.

McDonald’s is changing its burger recipe

The chain says its “small but tasty improvements” include softer buns, meltier cheese and more Big Mac sauce.

McD's is trying to get back some market share by changing up the burgers and offering "Big Mac" sauce a la carte. Full change over will finish in 2024 but some places are already serving the new stuff. New buns, new cheese, burgers grilled with onions, and more sauce on the Big Mac. McD's rides on a pretty comfy nostalgia cushion. I wonder if fans are going to embrace or reject the changes.

I'm aware some of ya'll wouldn't step into a McD's, but for the rest of us, what say you?

I do believe McDonalds is attempting to market choices...between shitty and shittier.

I wasn't aware how many TGT'ers eat at Michelin starred James Beard award winning restaurants for every meal. Good to know. Please regale us with all your dining indulgences in the "What's for Dinner" thread in the Cooking and BBQ sub forum.

McDonald's in the US SUCKS! Go browse their menus in other countries, like Poland or Germany or anywhere in the world, and you'll realize all they serve in America is offal and garbage.

On this general topic; I used to like both BK & WhatABurger, but in recent years, BK has declined awfully, and about half the WAB’s have, too.

Wife, from Robstown, hits WAB every time she passes one, and feels that about half their restaurants have declined but some are still “good” as ever.

Then. there is “Sonic’s”, which I find universally AWFUL.

Comments ?

White Castle could be the only burger as bad as McDonalds. Took one bite and threw the rest away.

The McDs in Germany has (or did have) the McRib on the menu as a permanent item
