McDonalds is a fucking mouse trap in different Scooby-Doo disguises, "oh we have this burger, we have this burger", yeah I'm not falling for that. "We have Brooklyn Blue Cheese.." ...well I'm at this airport... oh no it was McDonalds again! God damn I used to go to McDonalds a lot.

Wait, what? A blue cheese burger?

Most of my biggest problem with McDonald's is that their menu is pretty limited (even before they really started cutting it back to COVID)--most burgers lack lettuce and tomato (and no equivalent to a a small burger with lettuce and tomato like Burger King or Whataburger have), and a lot of their sandwiches are overpriced (especially as food sits out a bit instead of being cooked fresh, which greatly deteriorates the quality).

Their limited time menu items aren't great--thinking back to 2019 alone, the chicken herb burger's sauce was off-putting somehow, the bacon/cheese fries were ruined because they pumped the fake nacho-style cheese on it instead of real cheese, the donut sticks were just disappointing....and none of them were either legitimately good, except for maybe the bacon cheeseburger because the sauce made it less of a dried-out mess the regular bacon cheeseburger is.

The other burger joints (Whataburger, Burger King, Jack in the Box) have limited time menu items that are legitimately good or at least intriguing. Burger King is mostly the latter--they managed to sucker me into their black-bun Whopper and Whopperito, even if both did weird things to my digestive system.
 
So is take out food in the Us realy that bad? or is getting the runs from fast food just a meme?

The quality of the food is fine, it's the "people" that make it that will make you sick.

Yeah, aside from the food being disgustingly sugary and having God knows what injected in it, that's pretty much the problem. There are cleanliness standards out there, but they're not going to be followed the second the manager isn't keeping an eye on his employees. And the employees are most likely going to be young, resentful, feeling entitled to much more pay, and might not care much for washing up after using the restroom.

It's honestly a wonder they stayed open during COVID, I'm sure more than a few burgers were sneezed on

taco bell makes it easy to order normal calorie, vegetarian and even vegan food if you want. Of course if you want $10 nachos that come with a big red sodium warning you can get that too.

Though some items are also only online orders and kiosks are not to be used due to Covid.
 
Stopped off on my way home today and bought a fries and tea. They had the new sauces for that K-Pop thing so I got the Cajun sauce. It was pretty good, not to the level of Sriracha Mac or Hot Mustard sauces, but still pretty good.

The BTS nugget meal was kind of meh, lads. Chilli sauce was too astringent and cajun was kind of grainy and weird.

I was curious and also tried the Gook nugget sauces. I thought they were alright. The chili sauce tasted the same as the Sweet Heat sauce from Popeyes, but with a much thicker consistency. The Cajun sauce also tasted familiar but I couldn't remember where I tasted it before. I'll stick with Hot Mustard.

The caveat here is I'm in Australia, not sure if there's much difference in the sauces and other foodstuffs?

They both seemed pretty simple enough. I'm not sure if I would describe the chili sauce as "too astringent" though, so there might be a difference. That could also be personal taste, too. It's definitely the one that I preferred of the two at any rate.
 
the yellow one reminded me of popeyes sauce
the red one was sorta like a mcdonalds version of that red sauce that's like sirrrriachcaha but it's a paste more than a liquid
 
I didn't really care for either sauce. Neither really complemented the chicken, and I quickly wished I had just gone with something like honey mustard and ranch packets instead.

I suspect that the whole promotion is low-key because the sauce packets are more shelf-stable than the extra ingredients and new preparation they had to do for the Worldwide Favorites promotion a few years ago, which did poorly in terms of sales.
 
tried it again, the red one is def more syrupy then what I was thinking of
still not bad, would probably rank ahead of normal bbq
