The Siren Call of McDonalds

Notice taken.

But if we do that, we’ll have to stop in Baker because I will have run out of lukewarm watered-down Coke by then, and Baker Grade demands liquids! :smiley:

Yeah, it can be. But giving in can be worse. I quit eating fast food last January. I’ve caved twice. Once between flights on the way from San Francisco to DC (it was a looong time between meals) and once last Saturday, because I was starving, it was late, and everything at home was frozen solid, I swung by and grabbed a double cheeseburger. Never again. Both times I had horrible stomach cramps, acid reflux, gas that wouldn’t quit and broke out in zits the next morning both times. That crap is toxic.

But if you stop in Baker you get to eat at the Mad Greek!

I love the Mad Greek in Baker! I’ve been known to eat at least one meal a day there for a solid week ( while lazing at the Zyzzx field station). Ah, Kahlua milkskakes.

True, that. I miss the days when we would be dragging a HobieCat behind a VW van. We’d pull off, grab some food at the Greek, pop a couple of beers, kick it into low, and stay to the right all the way up the grade on the way to Lake Mead. Ah, college… :smiley:

well, get ready to double hate me.

i LOSE weight if i eat mcdonalds for a week straight.

and regular pop?? bah! diet is the nectar of evil. if i’m going to drink pop, i’ve gotta do it right…right?

Ok, how creepy is this: I was running late this morning so no breakfast. I remember getting in the car…and the next thing I know I’m sitting at work with biscuit in my teeth and two McWrappers in my trash can! I don’t even remember eating them!!!

My husband has the car every day (he drops me off at work) so I can’t get out for lunch unless I walk somewhere and the only things close enough are a Frankly Yours (hot dogs) or Wendy’s (icky). I miss McDonald’s. And now, thanks to you all, I’m sad. And hungry. Y’all are MEAN!! :frowning: :stuck_out_tongue:

I tell myself I can lose weight, I can eat fruit and vegetables, I can stay healthy…

…but dammit, some days I just crave a McChicken Meal with large fries and an iced tea. :smack:

mm…mcdonalds…mm…i love me some chicken nuggets…
…and FRIES!
mmm…god the fries…they are sooooooooooooooooooo damned good…

i’m going right after i get out of the gym, i think.

But Monday is $1 Big Mac day!

I was good this week, though. I brought a nice salad from home, and I only got one Big Mac.

And a large fries.

I was never a fan of McD (except the McFishwich) but I do enjoy Burger King.

I can’t eat any of it these days. The last 4-5 meals from any of those places came back up projectively a few hours later.

I consider myself lucky I guess.

Wait, wait, wait. You eat at McDonalds, but you think Wendy’s is ICKY? :dubious:

I think McDonalds is ass, which helps in my efforts to stay away. As far as everything else goes, I had my gall bladder removed a while back. The only time I really eat fast food at all is when I want to experience a fun-filled day of the shits. Oddly enough, that’s a want I don’t have too often. Sad, really…

Luckily for me, I can still tolerate Taco Bell. I haven’t been there in a long time, but I would probably die if I knew I’d never have another cheesy gordita crunch.

I agree with Silver Fire… Wendy’s is so much better than McDonald’s it isn’t even a contest.

PUHLEEEZE!!! Wendy’s doesn’t have Filet-o-Fish. Wendy’s doesn’t have Big Mac. The only thing I’ve ever eaten at a Wendy’s is the cheddar cheeze mushroom bacon thingy burger that they don’t even HAVE on the menu all the time. And the salad bar back when they had it. A LONG time ago. So Wendy’s = icky! And their french frys suck. :smiley:

I got off of McDonalds fries almost entirely (on the rare occasion I eat there I’ll mooch a few off my GF or daughter.) I used to alternate between Subway and McDonalds but once their meals went over $5 I finally said enough’s enough. I now buy a 2-liter soda and a bag of chips each week ($2 total), and just buy a Subway sub for lunch each day. Or occasionally a McDonalds QPC or Crispy Chicken sandwich.

Anyway since I got off fries and started eating subs I have a lot more energy.

…Big Macs for $1? My ateries would explode if such a thing existed around here.

Explode with joy, that is.

I now have this mental image of TheOnlySaneOne in a trenchcoat and hat and holding a Hungarian-English phrase book, being wrestled out of a McDonald’s by a Bobby, saying “my arteries explode with delight!”

Thanks a lot . . .

McDonald’s doesn’t have fried chicken. McDonald’s doesn’t have cheese fries. :stuck_out_tongue:

Which is why I go to Popeye’s when I want fried chicken, and Frankly Yours when I want cheese fries. So :stuck_out_tongue: yourself! :smiley:
