Crap. One of my favorite little things to do was go to Mickey D’s at 11:00 and watch people fight over the remaining breakfast items. I guess I have to cross that off my list. ---

Feh. Jack in the Box has been doing breakfast all day for decades now, and, although it’s been years since I worked for that company, I think I can say with confidence that any given breakfast sandwich on Jack’s menu is superior to its equivalent on McDonalds’ menu. ---

McDonald’s breakfast is my favorite fast food. The last I’d heard, this was up to individual franchisees. The linked article states that it will be nationwide Oct. 6th. This is the coolest fast food news since doritos tacos. And this is even better than that! ---

The only reason I ever go to McDonalds is for breakfast. This will bring me in later in the day. ---

As a teacher, I eat at 10:24. It’d be great to fly out the door, grab some McDonald’s(non-breakfast) and get back. ---

No clue about nationwide but at my local, they’re willing to do most lunch items in the morning with the understanding that little if anything is set up for it and it will mean an extra wait time of 5-10 minutes. ---

That’s some genius tweetering by McD’s social team. I thought the whole reason they didn’t do all-day breakfast was because the automated food-mo-trons have to be re-calibrated for lunch foods. Does this mean all the franchises will have to install new equipment or were they lying the whole time? ---

McDonalds is about to get 30x the business from me they used to. On the way home from work and want a quick bite for the subway? Bacon biscuit fits right in my hand. It’s 11pm and I’m hankering for some hotcakes? My prayers have been answered! I’ve been saying for YEARS McDonalds should do this. If Jack In the Box can do breakfast 24 hours, why couldn’t they? ---
