So a mcdonald's near me is giving out ice cream cones for 25¢ , is that a national thing or is it just mine? And if so is it cause they're discontinuing the soft serve ice cream? Cause they did a similar thing with mighty wings, when they didn't sell and the restaurants had over stocks of them they started selling them for like 50¢ each

Pretty sure its a national thing, since they're doing it near me too. I don't think they're discontinuing it at all though, I vaguely recall that they started doing this mid last year? So I think it's safe to say they're not discontinuing it or anything. I mean, half of the time their ice cream machine is broke. So even if they did decide to discontinue soft serve it wouldn't make much of a difference.

I worked through a 25 cent hamburger promotion that coincided with a colleges Patricks day celebration.
No cellphones to record that chaos, sadly.
We were finding hamburger bits in weird places for days.
 
Wanted to get my free McDonald's back in May for being a hero (:smug:), but I didn't remember to get to them in time.
Same with Starbucks, but they never seemed to be open anyway.

Can you imagine being so lazy that you order McDonald's through grubhub?
I mean, I guess if you're drunk it's probably the right move.

We were forced to watch that 'documentary' in middle school health class. Literally no one in the room was buying it

I watched it with a friend a couple years ago because it was (is?) on Netflix.

He's so insufferably smug, I stg. They offer to 'supersize' him and he just mean-mugs the camera every fuckin' time. I remember at the end some fat chick came down to some common area and he gives the camera a smug look while gesturing at her. Lmao what a cunt.

I had to watch that bullshit six times over the course of my life. I hate that fucking documentary with a passion. On top of that, its been pretty heavily debunked by a much better documentary, Fat Head:


Also as if that's not enough, a couple of years back it came out that Spurlock was a massive alcoholic, like a whole bottle of whiskey a day level. Which really changes the context of those scenes where his doctor is telling him that he's "pickling his liver". Usually if you suffer fatty liver from being fat, you have to weigh a ton like Amberlynn or something, but Spurlock was an otherwise normal guy. The alcohol was way more of a problem than the fast food. Fat Head doesn't bring this up because it was made a few years before this came out, but the creator addressed it on his website.

Not surprising. Never trust someone with a clear agenda.
 
Doesn't the "meat" in McDonalds contain more chemicals in the US than for example the UK?

Something that also contrasts Fat Head and Supersize Me is that Supersize Me is all about how X thing is basically poison while Fat Head at its core is about not treating yourself like shit.

That's an urban legend. While the meat in McDonalds food contains one fucking hell of a lot of preservatives as I recall it really doesn't differ much between regions. I imagine a Big Mac in Asshole, Sub-Saharan Africa is probably not going to be as edible as one from a place with running water so there are some differences but overall the the US/UK are mostly the same.

Also there's some confusion over what counts as a preservative. In a lot of cases, its found that US foods contain more salt, and salt is technically a preservative but the only people who get killed off by extra salt usually had other health issues to begin with.

You think if you eat enough preservatives you could become immortal?

The beef patties don't have preservatives or additives in them in either country, but most all the other meat products have various preservatives and seasonings and the like in them in both countries. I don't think there's any real difference in the ingredients between the chicken patties in the two countries, though the proportions in the preservatives might be slightly different.

Now, the fries, on the other hand, have pretty different ingredients in the US vs. the UK.

The sausage burritos, too. Crush in some of the hash browns and add the hot sauce and you've got yourself some good eatin'. Plus the steak egg and cheese. Come to think of it, the only great foods at McDonald's are on the breakfast menu.

Anyone tried the burger with egg "menu hack?"

I can buy it but are you sure you arent confusing it with the Whitest Kids You Know sketch, or was that sketch prophetic?
About when did it come out?

Im one of those "wah McDonalds suxxx" faggots but this shit I can get behind. The Biscuit sandwiches, especially when you get one of those crispy hasbrown patties. I can pass on the fries, and people LOVE the fries, but hash the fries up and make them a patty and put it on your McBiscuit and its a whole new game.
