What kind of mayo does McDonalds put on their McChickens? It tastes better than the mayo they sell in stores.

Halfway finished now. The top of the bun has been destroyed - the bun is not meant to withstand the force of my mandibles blowing through 4 pieces of bread.

Their food has an appealing ratio of fat/protein/carbohydrates, salt, plus caffeinated sugary soda = addicting.

Add to that the carefully concocted mouth feel and ease of devouring their burgers, and the cheap price, and it's easy to see why anyone can get addicted to McDonald's.

You know what beats a Mcgang bang by a mile? Go to Wienerschnitzel, order a double chili cheese burger and a chili cheese fry burrito then put the burrito between the 2 burger patties and consume. Those chili cheese fry burritos are pretty damn good on their own too.

I always liked McDonald's, despite the fact that their burgers do not even taste anything close to a real burger. It still has a good taste to it. I don't really care what's in it, if the over 999 billions served did not die then it must be safe to eat. :D

Let me know where you can buy .6 worth of meat, 1 set of buns, and 2 slices of cheese.


Now, you can BUY all of those raw materials in sufficient quantity to make 18 double cheeseburgers, but then you're out $25 and you have to eat 18 double cheeseburgers before all your product spoils.

Which is why refrigeration and friends/family exist.

I'm not trying to deny that if you're in a hurry and need ONE hamburger, it's hard to beat fast food, but I was providing some facts to refute the claim that you "can't" make food at home for cheaper. You just have to plan ahead and spend some time doing it. Yes, there are tradeoffs.

Speaking of McDonald's this is what 16 cheeseburgers look like.

No you can't haz cheezburger.

We decided to go order these once to see how many we could eat. My coworker ate 5 I ate like 4, we ended up eating the rest or giving them away throughout the day. Does not help that we had a dozen of donuts that morning and ordered fries with that. Probably could have managed to hit 6 otherwise. Really I don't get how fat people get fat, it's actually lot of work to eat a lot. I was satisfied after 2. The 3rd one was meh, and I really had to push down that 4th one. Any more food put in my mouth and I probably would have felt sick.

I don't know if it's the shitty buns or the shitty meat or what, but somehow I'm re-addicted. Are the preservatives laced with crack cocaine? Maybe it's because I ate these fucking things by the dozen when I was a kid and deep in my psyche I crave that shit.

But damn, in the past 2 days I've had 2 McDoubles, 2 Double Cheeseburgers, and 2 McChickens.

Double Cheeseburger + McChicken + Large coke = $3!!!!

Costs less than an Amy's frozen lasagna.

I've had a lot of bad Filet-o-Fish sammiches, but I've had a lot of awesome ones too. I keep going back.

The size of your stomach is what matters. There are plenty of skinny people with large stomach capacity, too. Those "professional" food eating competition people can devour a lot because they alternate between stuffing themselves and fasting. You can down a lot of food if you eat fast before receptors in your stomach starts telling your brain that you are full.

There is something about the sausage egg mcmuffin that cannot be replicated at home. it's the shitty combination of ingredients that synergizes together.

we recreated them at home, using better ingredients, and it's just not the same.

This. I've tried. I'm no slouch in the kitchen either. I've tried virtually every combination of English muffins, different ways of cooking the eggs, different types of sausage patties and it just doesn't quite measure up.
