Default McHappy Day

Regardless of your feelings about McDonalds' food, the Ronald McDonald House is a worthy charity for helping keep families together during a child's illness, along with other children's charities.

So even if you don't want a Big Mac or McHappy Meal, you may want to drop by and donate a loonie or twoonie

Maybe I'll do my good deed for the day and pull up to the DT, buy a Big Mac and drive away before they try to hand me that vile hunk of crap.

I bought breakfast this morning there and donated a loonie. I didnt even know it was McHappy Day but I had blood work done this morning and couldnt eat anything for breakfast and it was the closest place on the way to work.

I don't get the McHate. Yes, the food is bad for your body, but you know that when you walk in the door. Their food tastes good and it's cheap. What more do you want from a fast food chain?

Credit where credit is due.

I McCant stand their regular menu, but I have been known to eat a sausage and egg sandwich. Other than that, maybe a cheeseburger if I'm drunk and it's right beside the bar.

I'm an any-fast-food-restaurant-before-McDonalds-atarian.

But good on them for their charity work with kids.

I don't know about where you live but here there's alot worse than McDonalds. I cant eat Burger King or KFC here because it makes me feel like I've just ate a big ball of grease.

The only problem I have with McDonalds right now is their menu needs an upgrade. When it comes to fast food I only eat chicken and there's only so many times you can eat a Crispy Chicken Deluxe before you start getting sick of it. I've maybe gone to McDonalds 3 times the last year because of this which really I guess isn't a bad thing.

I hear you. I've got a buddy that simply can't eat Wendys. I can't eat Rotton Ronnies. Every time I forget that and try it again, I hit Defcon 5 within half an hour and am seeking the nearest McD's to return their food to them.

Just wish there food was palatable. That being said... the charity is worthy
and I'm sure you could just make a donation.

Can't eat at Wendy's?!?! Blasphemy!

I don't like Mcdonald's. Although I do enjoy an egg mcmuffin meal pretty much everytime I head out on a long road trip.

Now I'm thinking I might go out to donate $2 at McDonald's and then find a Wendy's.
