Man eats 23,000 Big Macs

September 10th, 2008

Need proof that heavy duty McDonalds consumption is healthy? Check this out. Dude named Fond Du Lac from Wisconsin claims to have just reached the 23,000 Big Mac milestone. That is a lot of fucking Big Macs. According to this article on CNN, Du Lac is quoted as saying “I enjoy them every day, I need two to fill me up.”

Think about it. 23,000 Big Macs since May of 1972. Documented, with receipts in a box. Wow man! A big hats off to you, Mr. Du Lac. This is the kind of milestone that Fast Food Loves Me likes to see.

Southern Style chicken sandwiches

September 2nd, 2008

Sorry Chickflia. Your coveted chicken sandwich recipe is no longer unique. By now, most everyone has seen the influx of southern style chicken sandwiches at various different fast food chains. McDonald’s seemed to be the first one there. I’ll never forget the moment when I saw McDonald’s McSouthern or whatever they call it on tv. I was eating a Whopper at the time, and immediately threw it in the trash so I could haul raw ass to McDonald’s.

Boy was it good. It was basically no different from Chickfila’s, sans the waffle fries. The chicken was greasy and nasty just the way I like it, and the plain bun and pickles were like mouth sex for my mouth. And the beauty of it all? I was eating my southern style Chickfila ripoff sandwich ON SUNDAY. Thank god that McDonald’s is godless. Why oh why anyone would close a fast food chain on Sunday is beyond my scope of comprehension. Thanks McDonald’s!

Fast food unsweet tea tip

July 31st, 2008

This is for all you lovers out there. Never make the mistake I just 5 fucking seconds ago made. Whenever you order an unsweet tea, never take for granted that speaker person heard you emphasize “UN”.

Even though I am extraordinarily careful to say, “and an UN, sweet tea, please”, that doesn’t mean shit. Too many variables exist between the time you place your order, and the time you have the deliverable in your hand. Even though I went midday when the lifers work, I still managed to get a sweet tea.

Now, big deal you might say. But when your workflow is such that you get an unsweet tea, and immediately take the lid off and add Splenda upon your arrival back at home, you end up with some insanely ridiculously sweetened out the ass tea.

So take heed people. Never, ever take an unsweet tea for granted. The unsweet tea success rate will soon approach broken-milkshake-machine territory. Now that is fucking scary.

Jim’s 10-step guide to the McDonalds complaint process

July 31st, 2008

For you three people that haven’t yet experienced an incorrect order from McDonalds, I’m writing this as a ‘heads-up’ for how you will typically be shat on and subsequently flushed down the shitter by Mickey mother fucking Dees. Let’s start from the beginning.

Step one.

You drive to nearest McDonalds, praying to your version of god that a tard doesn’t answer the speaker. You place your order, diligently double checking the menu screen that it’s correct. You listen for them to read it back, all sounds good-exactly what you ordered. Pending further instruction, you head to the window.

Step two.

You watch the window person assemble your drinks, stuff food in your bag, and you head back home.

Step three.

This is when shit starts flowing out of McDonalds ass and onto your food. You didn’t get your apple pies. There was no bottom bun on your McChicken. You wanted sweet tea and got Shasta. You wanted tartar sauce but got nothing more than a colostomy bagload of vinegar. Congratulations you were just shat on by McDonalds.

Step four.

McDonalds has you right where they want you now. You are pissed. You drove all the hell the way back home and you are now not going to be as full as you had initially hoped. Son of a bitch.

Step five.

This is where you start spinning in a porcelain container and slowly building up momentum toward the flush. After you stuff your face full of their garbage, you spend the next 30 minutes laboring to find the complaint form on the McDonalds website. Your filling out the form and really sticking it to them. You’ll have your vengeance dammit. Actually no you won’t because this step is completely fruitless and is nothing but a waste of your time.

Step six.

Days have now gone by. You’ve probably still had McDonalds a few times since, but shit, you are still bitter about that ranch side salad dressing when you wanted honey mustard. This is when the shocker comes. Out of the blue, you receive an email. It reads something to the effect of…

“Dear so and so,

We are so sympathetic and sorry for your tragedy. Because our fine dining restaurants are independently owned and operated, we have forwarded your complaint to your locations operating manager. We sincerely hope this virtual faux B J soothes your pain.

Warmest and most best sincereness,
McDonalds automatic reply with built in algorythms that correctly gauge the tone of our reply to the tone of your original complaint.”

Step seven.

More days go by. No operating manager contacts you. You’ve easily had McDonalds three or four times since step six, but you steadfastly refuse to order another apple pie again. All the sudden, a 2nd email arrives. Holy shitcake, could it be the operating manager of my local restraunt? Oh hell no, another automated fuck reply (for real an automated reply this time).

“Dear dickhead,

Thank you for your recent feedback to McDonalds. We ask that you please take a moment to fill out our survey, to better let us know how we did. Again, we deeply, all the way to the bottom of your colon, appreciate you taking time out of your losery ass day trying to weasel a free Big Mac out of us.

Kindest sympathies and wet ba da ba ba bah dreams,
McQualiteam (or some really lame shit)”

Step eight.

You go to delete this stupid ass email immediately… but part of you wonders, ‘does this survey allow me to speak my mind again?’. You blindingly take the ridiculously long survey. You are amused by some of the questions. You take comfort knowing that others have too experienced your pain. You reach the end of the survey. It crashes your browser, and you never got your chance to speak your mind… not even give your name.

Step nine.

You blog about the shittiness of McDonalds just to give yourself some sense of vindication and peace of mind. It changes nothing, but it kind of makes you feel a little bit better about yourself.

Step ten.

You go back to McDonalds.

Why McDonalds styrofoam cups are the best

July 30th, 2008

Alright I have been meaning to tell the planet about this for some time now. In fact I built this whole site because I wanted to brag about how frickin’ awesome McDonalds cups are, especially compared to Burger King or Taco Bell.

Benefits of McDonalds styrofoam cups

  • McDonalds cups keep your drink colder FAR BEYOND any of the others. Look, there is a reason styrofoam coolers are styrofoam coolers. Coolers are not made out of toilet-paper ass thin plastic. Whoever high up at McDonalds who decided, “we are going with styrofoam cups” should deserve a round of applause.
  • McDonalds styrofoam cups feel more secure in car cup holders. Seriously. I have access to two separate vehicles in which I interchangably drive to retrieve our fast food dinner. McDonalds cups just fit better in both vehicles. When you take hard ass turns when you are racing home to eat, Taco Bell and Burger King cups tend to shift around, creating a danger (reduced confidence) to the driver.
  • McDonalds cups are louder in your cup holder. Again, it’s all about driver confidence. The styrofoam inherently causes numerous ’squeaks’ as normal road bumps shift and toss your car chassis about. With McDonalds cups, you already know that the styrofoam is going to squeak-like it or not. This squeaking drowns out ‘ice rattle’, which helps you to focus better on the road. Focusing on the road allows you to successfully achieve your goal: GET HOME AND EAT YOUR FAST FOOD RIGHT NOW.

If you needed a particular reason to choose one chain over the other, this just may be it. But look, I’m no dummy. I know you detractors are saying that there are many shortcomings of the styrofoam cup. Let’s take a look.

Cons and pitfalls of McDonalds styrofoam cups

  • McDonalds styrofoam cups, in the past, have notoriously had lid malfunctions. While this is not a consequence of the materials so much, rather, the underlying problem is with the person that fills your drink and puts on the lid. If a McBartender does not use the recommended torque placing the plastic lid onto the now-filled styrofoam cup, bad things can happen. Nobody likes the dreaded “I picked my drink up and halfway to my mouth all I remember was holding the lid and now the drink is in my fucking lap” scenario to unfold. The McDonalds drink machine operator MUST TAKE CARE in correctly affixing the lid to the cup.  Now, the real shitty part with this, is that you inherently run a 70-80% risk of the drink machine operator screwing this up.
  • Styrofoam cups are easy to puncture. Take for example, a recent trip up the Blue Ridge Parkway. Before I could go on my drive though, I had to stop off and pick me up a McDonalds Unsweet Tea for the road. Road trip beverages need the absolute best possible cup to retain their cool temperature the longest. Anyways, I pay the drive thru, get my unsweet tea, and off I go. 10 minutes later, I pick my drink up, shockingly with nothing but ice in it. I thought “what the fuck, did I already drink it all?” and then I thought, “maybe I should take a leak if I already drank it that fast” and then the tragedy unfolded. There was a screw sticking up in my cup holder. Simply the act of me placing my cup into my cup holder was enough to cause the screw to puncture the bottom of my cup. That sucked bad.
  • Styrofoam is bad for the environment. Not that I am so concerned honestly, but if I didn’t mention this, one of my green-friendly friends might kick the shit out of me.

So, you should now be equipped with pros and cons of the McDonalds styrofoam cup over the plastic or cardboard cup wannabe’s. Your particular situation would dictate which cup should be your cup of choice. Everyones situation is different. I hope you now have the understanding to weigh your choice. Good luck.
