I don't eat the food as an adult. But I do buy fountain Diet Cokes, unsweetened iced tea, and coffee, and I appreciate the low prices and quick service on these beverages. And a stop in a clean restroom is also appreciated when one stops in for a beverage.Bludoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18131740899428934800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-86514140637770038722015-03-12T15:32:04.793-05:002015-03-12T15:32:04.793-05:00Thanks, Jakash.

(The nighttime gorging is probably why I can get by with the small breakfast). If I opted for the egg white muffin instead it'd be almost the same amount of calories and less cholesterol. <br /><br />In Canada there's a whole wheat muffin option for the Egg McMuffin. And this blows my mind: in the US they make em with Canadian bacon, but in Canada you can get them with American bacon.

I don't know if it counts as "LOL", but I chuckled audibly at that...<br /><br />As for McDonald's woes, I think a couple of the comments pretty much nail it. Bitter Scribe may be right that it's a bridge too far trying to be all things to all people instead of just flinging burgers at the folks who crave them. And A-n-A, in his opening, non-piss 'n vinegar remark, is correct about all these new burger places cutting into the market share from the burger-craving masses.<br /><br />BTW, A-n-A, that egg mcmuffin you enjoy may not be the worst thing in the world, but there are a hell of a lot of better things you could eat for breakfast. A quarter of your saturated fat for the day and 750 mgs. of sodium from a 300-calorie item featuring white bread and no fruit/veg.? Whatevs. I used to love them, on the rare occasions I got one, but they certainly didn't fill me up for the morning. YMMV, and obviously does, of course.<br /><br />But, hey, I actually root for the guys, despite seldom going there anymore. If nothing else, A-n-A is right about the bathrooms on a road trip! <br /><br />And I used to love the smell of McDonald's food in the morning. Smelled like ... victory. Of marketing over common sense.Jakashnoreply@blogger.com
