Has anyone else noticed...

[Truebrit71sbruv]

... that the "special sauce" in a Big Mac simply doesn't taste the same as it used to?

Not big, nor particularly important... but worthy of a senate special committee at the very least I should think...

[Shell Beau]

1. Hmm, haven't noticed.

I am eating there more often now just b/c of the Monopoly game!

[Truebrit71sbruv]

3. I'm not so sure...

... it tastes somehow less artificial and full of additives. If McD's continues on this shameful campaign of "healthifying" it's food I'm gonna have difficulty getting my RDA of lethal carcinogens.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

6. and you have a monopoly game running in the states???

Bugger... all we get in Denmark is a Viking Helmet and a choice of "rape" or "pillage" with our McNuggets...

:evilgrin:

[Shell Beau]

13. Ha ha!! Well, my husband ate there yesterday for

lunch and they didn't give him his Monopoly pieces. He was pissed b/c that is the only reason he went there.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

14. I sense a class-action suit in the offing!!!

:evilgrin:

[NYdemocrat089]

36. Same thing happened to me!

I was at a rest stop and I noticed they were having a contest for the new PSP that was like the monopoly game. So I decided I'd eat there...never got the game pieces.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

38. ohyesohyesohyesohyes

We're onto something here... Supersize me be damned... THIS is the true scandal!!!

[AirmensMom]

2. I don't eat them.

Wendy's makes a better burger, IMO ... and I don't eat very many of them, either. But if anyone's going to call their sauce "special", it certainly should be that. :hi:

[Truebrit71sbruv]

5. "Special"

indeed... just a thousand island dressing with "bits" in it...

[Truebrit71sbruv]

4. And if anyone should claim that this is simply a mindless attempt...

... to increase my post count, I'll sue...

:smoke:

[billyskank]

7. Mindless attempts to increase one's post counts - in the LOUNGE?

:o

We frown on things like that around here, oh yes. :)

[Truebrit71sbruv]

8. Shocking isn't it?

Makes you wonder if people really don't have better things to do with their time...

Like.... ummmm.... hmmm... <TILT>

[BigMcLargehuge]

9. I changed my diet

sorry if it bothered anyone

[progmom]

26. heh

:rofl:

[bigwillq]

10. Haven't had a Big Mac in months

So I haven't noticed.

[Left Is Write]

11. No, but then I've only eaten a Big Mac maybe twice in my life.

And not recently.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

15. Only twice?

For goodness' sake woman? Where on earth is your sense of public-spiritedness? Where else are the major Murckan corporations going to get their free guinea-pigs from if we don't line up dutifully for our Soma???

[Left Is Write]

18. I have little use for McDonalds.

And I don't eat double burgers.

:)

[Truebrit71sbruv]

20. Nor I (if I'm honest)...

In my case it is only ever an emergency measure, and only then as a hangover cure. There's just something about all the chemicals pumped into the meat (I use the term "meat" loosely, of course) that works wonders in placating the hoards of Neringi-Berber Tribesmen that inhabit my noodle after the (very rare) BIG night out.

:smoke:

[Left Is Write]

25. My one McDonalds indulgence...

is a sausage McGriddle once a year while on our road trip vacation.

I do like Sonic and Culvers, though my trips there are rare too (especially since there are no Culvers around here!).

[Truebrit71sbruv]

28. hehe you now have me at a disadvantage...

... as neither Sonic nor Culvers have made it over to Denmark yet... we just make do with huge slabs of pig dumped onto a slice of rye-bread with roasted onions on top.

That or the obligatory pølser (sausage-inna-bun) on the terraces when watching the local footy-match.

[Left Is Write]

35. I'll come visit you!

I'll have a slab o'pig on rye and bring you some Sonic in exchange. ;)

[Truebrit71sbruv]

37. ~chuckles~

You'd be most welcome!... We could show you all the highlights of Denmark...

And after we've filled that ten minutes we'd hit the bars on a mission to truly, TRULY deserve that pig-fest hangover cure!

:silly:

[NYC Liberal]

12. No, I was distracted by the pain from my heart attack.

:P

[Truebrit71sbruv]

16. Ahhh...

... but was that induced from the burger itself... or merely from the effort of reaching for your wallet in the glove-compartment as you went through the drive-thru?

:evilgrin:

[NYC Liberal]

17. No, Dick Cheney walked in. Are heart attacks contagious?

:o

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. I would not doubt it if he were around......

He is such bad karma.......:evilgrin:

[Truebrit71sbruv]

21. Yup... he's like a walking black-hole...

...leaching the dignity and soul out of anyone that comes into his clammy gravitational pull...

He could give a dead man a heart-attack.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. You are so right on, my dear Truebrit71sbruv!

And BTW: WELCOME TO DU!

Enjoy yourself in our crazy little town! Looks like you're making yourself right at home!

But you want to be careful...this place is completely addictive!

The Lounge is the true heart of DU...whenever you need help or support, you will find it here...in the heart of DU...




:kick:


:hi:

[Truebrit71sbruv]

29. thangyewthangyewthangyew

for the welcome.

It is so nice to be surrounded by a group of like-minded loonies.

Have not had so much fun since I left the asylum usually referred to as the UK.

:rofl:

[Truebrit71sbruv]

40. And addictive???

... I already have my "Trucker's Friend" attached (the urinary facilities in the house are therefore superfluous)... and have installed a beer-chiller next to me that uses the superheated exhaust from my processor cooling-fan in a heat-exchange to keep my copious amounts of "electric soup" cool.

All I need now is to flip open www.just-eat.dk and order myself a late-night munchy and I'm laughing...

:freak:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. I LOVE it!

Sounds like you're already addicted! And you're ready to be, as well...

I loved your comment about when are the meds passed out? I am a newly retired RN, and in the way back good old days, I did work some in some psychiatric units...so I know about meds!

You have already made yourself a place, here in the heart of DU: the Lounge!


:yourock:

[Truebrit71sbruv]

43. heh

Thank you. And the Lounge is by far the most logical place to settle in. I mean, afterall, where else can I get away with wearing my leopard-print loon-pants, matador shirt and cuban heels?

:freak:

[Thtwudbeme]

22. You mean the super secret thousand island dressing?

probably just using a cheaper brand.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

30. or just down-shifting to...

... the "several-hundred" island dressing...

[trof]

23. You noticed. They changed it from Thousand Island to Russian.

Moscow sales doubled.
;-)

[Truebrit71sbruv]

31. LMFAO

Does that come with a free side-order of Central Govt-sponsored corporate corruption?

No... hold on... that's the sauce you get in DC isn't it?

[WCGreen]

24. Nothing tastes good at Mikey D's any more....

I think there is a time in your life when it all just starts to taste like crap....

Maybe it's after you have discovered how to cook and then actually make something that tastes good....

I think that is where you begin to say to yourself...

What the fuck was I thinking....

[Truebrit71sbruv]

32. Yeah...

... but the DT's whilst you go cold-turkey man!!!

[Shine]

33. After seeing the movie "Super-size Me", I will NEVER eat at

McDonald's again.

Not that I ever really frequented that place to begin with.

I try to stay away from that kind of crap food. It's soooooo bad for you!

[Shine]

34. Oh and btw, welcome to DU, Truebrit!

:hi:
Shine

[Truebrit71sbruv]

39. A millyun thankees...

... to you for the welcome.

Am already feeling right at home in the asylum.

What time do they come round with the meds?

:smoke:

[ThatsMyBarack]

42. Haven't had one in ages....

....and, having seen the film SuperSize Me, I may never, ever have one again.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

44. and miss out on playing...

... chemical-additive Russian-roulette?

Tsk... where's your sense of adventure? :D
