I bet they gave her a nice book of McD’s gift certificates or something as a reward for her inspiration.
Well, no! She also got a plaque.
She got a plaque and some coupons.
I mean… I’m not sure she necessarily deserves the Nobel Neologism Prize for coming up with “Big Mac” for something that is somewhat larger and made by McDonalds.
“Royale with Cheese”, now that deserves an award.
::knocks on screen:: Hello? Hello? Is Any Schadenfreude at home? Am I in the right place? I seem to have gotten lost in the Cheap Hamburger Hall of Mirrors.
If you were trying to find Trump that’s not a bad place to check.
So Esther of the Little People got screwed by the Big People in charge of what later became trump’s favorite food. trump would be so proud of them screwing the little people; it’s practically his motto.
How about this, it fits in a couple of other threads as well, but…
During a speech Wednesday at the University of Minnesota, Cheney told the audience point-blank, “Jim Jordan knew more about what Donald Trump had planned for January 6 than any other member of the House of Representatives.” She added, “Jim Jordan was involved, was part of the conspiracy in which Donald Trump was engaged as he attempted to overturn the election.”
I’d quote a bit more, but I think it would stretch fair use. What has the best potential for Schadenfreude, is that if they did (which IMHO is less likely) reach the speakership and the 1/6 committee or other investigatory group released all their findings on him. Sure, the house Republicans are likely going to dismiss such things anyway, but I’d love to be seeing it show up daily on CNN and everywhere else during the 2024 election cycle.
Of course I’d love it more if he was indicted, but that moves past schadenfreude to “dancing with my wife while sipping mojitos” territory.
They almost always screw up my quarter pounder. I am weird, at least my family and friends think so. I do NOT like cheese on my burgers. 7 times out of 10 or there abouts they will cheese my burger and it really irks me. I scrape off what I can and eat it anyway, grudgingly very grudgingly. It isn’t gourmet so I don’t usually complain. It really isn’t worth it. Funny thing while I was posting this my son brought me a quarter pounder with NO cheese. And bonus, no pickle. I usually pick those off.
I’m with you. And it is not cheesephobic bigotry. It’s just that slimy square of rancid orange abomination that I object to, not actual cheese.
I know right? I love cheese, extra sharp cheddar, swiss, muenster, etc. I don’t like american “cheese” and I don’t like ANY cheese on my burger. Take that Mckie D’s!
I don’t usually like cheeseburgers, either, and I have complained about the ubiquity of cheese on burgers on these very boards. I will sometimes order a cheeseburger, or even a bacon cheeseburger, at a place that makes them properly. Fast food cheeseburgers are quite dreadful, though.
My success rate isn’t quite as bad as yours, though. McDonald’s can usually manage a Quarter Pounder without cheese. I do find it a little extra disappointing when I get a Whopper with cheese, because a standard Whopper isn’t even supposed to have cheese on it.
Your avatar square is now triggering my unasked-for cheeseburger PTSD.
Why not just throw it against the wall?
Ooops! Sorry.
It must piss you off that this is Discourse’s “hamburger” emoji:
It also represents the entire Food and Drink category.
Cretins!
Can we now stop talking about hamburgers (if not hamberders) here, please?
You could enjoy some bonus Schadenfreude, taking pleasure in our misfortune when looking at that emoji. I won’t hold it against you, provided that I don’t have to pretend to be a Trump enabler.
Trump still throwing out racist insults. FFS. You can’t defend him without being a racist yourself.
