I've tried it. Not a fan. The chicken flavor overpowers everything.

I have a weak spot for their deep fried blender chicken with sweet and sour sauce.

They just closed down the 2 Mcdonalds here in Iceland, but this country is a bit weird sometimes.

KFC is chicken, which is more healthy than beef. Even though it's fried it's still healthier than McDonalds (depending on what you eat of course). And they have grilled chicken now, even better.

A tiny chicken sandwich full of mayo and pesto goodness. You can get 2 for $3, AND YOU CAN'T STOP EATING THEM.

And yeah, valid point.

I love it.
I eat quite healthy so I'll limit myself to 2-3 visits a year, but it's the only place I think of going when that urge for fast food just needs to be met.

For me, anytime I'm sick with a cold/flu the only thing I can stomach is McD's. Usually a couple of plain hamburgers, fries and a coke. Better than chicken soup.

That's because the animal they made it from is now extinct.

And of course the fries last forever, they're covered in salt, which is a preservative. The high levels of salt in McDonald's food could easily explain why all of it lasts longer than the street burger and regular fries.

Sorry to go off on a rant but it's a personal peeve - I have a friend who worships this movie and I just cannot understand it. The movie itself is not intelligent, emotionally moving or funny.
It's a train wreck, like looking at a car crash or watching reality TV but in this case it's a guy pigging out on McDonald's for a month.
I don't have a problem with that but I do have one with the masking of the movie as something credible when it clearly isn't.

Also - totally going to have to try that Trigger sometime...just for the hell of it. Looks totally sinful and overly indulgent.
Edit: I've never had a McMini either. Normally I go for a McChicken or Big Mac combo and sometimes I get the Double Cheeseburger. Sounds delicious though

They only have it in Canada too, oddly enough. I got the BBQ sauce in the States once and it was more of a mesquite flavour.

The hot apple pies and fries will forever have a place in my heart. I think the burgers are bit flavourless... I'd take a Wendy's or Burger King burger ahead of them any day.

Sweet and sour sauce isn't in Hawaii. Is it in the other states?

Its a guilty pleasure I allow myself to have every 3-5 months or so. But really, the burgers aren't that good. Wendy's is much better. Even the BK Whopper is better. McDonald's fries however, are best in class.

I only go for the coffee as it is the best out there it even won in blind taste tastes over Starbucks(crap) and others.

100% arabica beans beats the heck out of the columbian slop they serve at Tims and a way faster line too.

It is not uncommon for me to be in line and see the two or three cars in front of me just getting coffee too.

McDonalds coffee is surprisingly good. Plus the lids they put on their coffee cups are far superior to the crap that Timmys gives you.

I tried the McMini a couple of weeks ago and now I'm going to have to avoid McDonalds because I know I will buy far too many of them. They are damn tasty.
