And drinking. Way too many calories consumed through drinks, for some people.

I'll have a diet Coke with my supersized meal please.

I don't know why it is, but I've always liked McD's Diet Coke.
Any other fast food place...the Diet Coke tastes awful.

Every now and again I'll order 2 for $3 deal with a double cheeseburger, hold ketchup and mustard, add Mac sauce and shredded lettuce and a McChicken add tomato. It rings up around $4+ IIRC and is a tasty snack.

You can find videos explaining why on YouTube. There are real reasons.

Starbucks is one of the reasons my sister is 150lbs overweight, along with a lot of other Americans.

She thinks (or more correctly, has told herself) she is going to get coffee. What she is doing is mainlining sugar in a plastic cup.

This looks to be much the same.

[GH85Carrera]

I am just astonished how many small coffee shops keep popping up. There seems to always be a line of cars sitting and idling waiting in line to get expensive foo foo coffee. I just don't understand. I drink my coffee black. No sugar, not milk or "whitener" stuff. Just coffee, made at home for pennies per cup. It only cost a couple of bucks at the breakfast place we go to on Sunday mornings.

I guess I'm old, but I have not had a take out coffee in years and I have a cup everyday.
Or I don't get out much. lol

At least one critic isn't impressed.

A pic of their Creamy Avocado Tomatillo Sandwich.....Holy Egg!!!

[911_Dude]

I dont see any avocado or tomatillo. Egg ratio is way off. But how was it?

[stevej37]

The story/article that goes with the above pic.

LOL "CosMc’s Creamy Avocado Tomatillo Sandwich featuring more egg than anyone could be reasonably prepared for".

I agree. I still dont see a compelling reason to go there. Just give me a well made burger and fries.

40+ years ago, HOW did you change your burger order? All they had was burger, burger with cheese, bigger burger, bigger burger with cheese. WTF were you trying to do there if you changed that? Did you want exotic mushrooms put on it? Did you want toasted rye instead of the white bun? Did you want hand blended aioli instead of mayo??




If any of those random guesses were correct, then you probably want to go to CosMcs...

All this nonsense, and you are calling him a grouchy old man. Is it raining a lot there or something?

[stevej37]

They gone

Brilliant.

40 year ago (when I visited McD's), I would order the burgers with no onions .... because I wanted a freshly made one... and I don't dislike onions either

I don't do that no mo ... they all suck now ...
