They are acceptable as food, which is more than I can say about anything else there. The double cheeseburger just barely passes the edible test.

What do you guys think?

Fairly cheap ?? Are you talking about the same McDonalds strips ??
The chicken strips are sold for like $1/ piece.
Way over priced.
The problem is their holding time is not very good.
After 15 mins, they tend to become very dry. As oppose to McNuggets, they're good for at least 30 mins.

Don't kid yourself.
If you think McDonalds are nasty and dirty, then you shouldn't ever eat fast food again.
Dateline did a report and all the other fast food joints fare alot worse.

I don't know if I just had a bad experience with KFC, but the one time I've had their strips, they were thin and chewy as fvck.

They are ok, but when I order them its usually 4 regular size strips and 1 tiny strip so like 4.5 strips for $5 with tax. Not a very good price since they usually are warm or cold. I have to reheat them in the microwave when I get home.

$5 for 4.5 ok chicken strips is the lose.

Oh Christ, I wish people would stop with that movie already... no sane person eats like that.

A couple of years ago (for an approximate 3 month duration) I ate McDonalds at least once a day, and many days I ate *only* McDonalds... result? I lost over 30 pounds, and felt better than I ever had.

I belive he was refering to how mcnuggets are processed. That was gross.

I think they're alright with good ranch or honey mustard sauce.

But anything from McDonald's makes me a little sick by the end of the meal. BK and Wendy's all the way!

Overpriced? Hardly, compared to Subway, got yet another sweet onion chicken teryaki and chips today, NO DRINK, $4.75, sheesh.

Or Arby's. Two Beef 'n Cheddars, two roast beef sandwiches, two fries, no drinks, $14.50!!!
