Screw the McRib. I actually would love to see the steak, egg, and cheese bagel make a comeback.

 

[MistaFreeze]

Just watched the one where they say it's 100% beef. I previously watched how McDonalds makes their chicken nuggets and that was a cool process as well. I think the food is fine in moderation.

Marked for later. I saw the McRib one before.

Interesting....that's all I can say.

Yeah apparently it's a regional item. Can't get it here in CA, at least not that I've seen. I first had it when I lived in MI (from originally) and even there it went off the menu for some time. I think it may be both regional and seasonal.

Back when I was a fat ass I'd demolish those Steak Egg Cheese bagels. Holy shit they were good.

I worked for McD's growing up, I wouldn't eat a McRib unless it was the last meal on Earth.

Who had the bright idea of doing this retarded marketing?!?! Doesn't matter which video, take a look at the comments of any of them...

Eh...their frozen patties are so damned dry. I think they pump sugar into their buns to distract you from realizing you're eating shoe leather.

Because Mc is getting a bad rap. Their sales are down and Subway/Chipotle and other stores are taking their market share. In my opinion Mc is old and outdated. "New Americans" don't want Hamburgers anymore. They want healthy foods that are not heavily processed. They want to get to see the ingredients that is being placed in their food behind a window.

Also whenever you walk into a McDonald it's not hard to spot the welfare mamas, druggies and other bad elements you just don't want to be around. I was in there a few days ago while my kid was in the play-area. A woman came into the area bitching to the father about "where are my child support payments". This was in front of all the kids in the area and she was loud.

The employees are generally horrible as well. Sometimes you get good sometimes you get shit. They show how good their food is constructed in the factory but when you order it they are not consistent in the assembly. Sometimes a hamburger has no pickles sometimes it has too much, sometimes it's cold or hot etc...?

They still have the steak breakfast bagel here in GA.

Clarification:
"New Americans" don't want Hamburgers anymore. They want to at least have the illusion that they are getting healthy foods. They want to get to see the ingredients that is being placed in their food behind a window. Meanwhile, manufacturers and marketers keep looking for new ways of concealing ingredients and misleading consumers.

I agree that comments probably should have been disabled. We all know that YouTube is a cesspool of idiots and trolls.

That said, I think the videos are actually really good marketing. McD's food quality has been questioned for a while and this is really a direct response to show that they aren't doing anything shady or disgusting, at least in the processing.

lol the pink slime bullshit has been busted! good for them.

That does not describe Chipotle / Panera at all. Highest quality ingredients possible for a chain. Period.

...and it's definitely NOT "seasonal."

If they are indeed the highest quality ingredients, they need to get some that actually have some taste.

 

[FelixDeCat]

...and it's definitely NOT "seasonal."

But slightly hypocritical while not being too political, but nonetheless occasional.

 

[OverVolt]

I've never had an issue with the food. The menu currently sucks. The food isn't fresh anymore because of the bloated menu.

Meat is variable in flavor. Steak is more variable (and more expensive) than chicken. The last several times I've been to Chipotle, I was absolutely blown away specifically by the awesomely flavorful meat.

Chicken burrito. White rice. Fajita veggies (no beans). Corn salsa. Some cheese and sour cream ("just a little bit"). Fucking amazing. So much that i can't help making all kinds of enjoyment sounds while eating it.
