try mayonayse or instead mustard use be using kind of ketchup?

Anon, the cheapest stuff is almost guaranteed to be the lowest quality.

>cheap meat
>cheap bread
>cheap condiments
Yeah you covered why yourself. It doesn't help that they made their fries vegetarian.

>>11806522
eh… what do you mean
>>11806529
The fries are still okay though, I don't know how they make them in my country as opposed to US but they used to be real good.
Like, i can go to BK and get burgers that are actually better in any way for about the same price. Their fries and everything else are worse, but their basic burgers are better than "legendary" McDs ones.

>>11806529
how the fuck did they turn a potato into a vegetable?

>>11806515
Big Mac is exactly what you pay for. A quick, mid tier (by fast food standards) burger. The cheeseburgers were absolutely awful last time I tried them though. And the fries are bad.

>>11806550
They stopped flavouring them with beef tallow.

The best McDonald's sandwich is the quarter pounder with cheese

Other good ones are the chicken sandwiches, and Filet-o-fish. Everything else sucks.

I also like the Nuggets, salads and te yogurt parfaits. French fries are bomb as well.

>>11806550
Their fries used to be fried in beef fat. Then retarded people complained animal fat was unhealthy, so they started adding beef flavoring. Then vegetarians sued saying fries implied it was vegan.

Basically when people tell other people how to cook their food, they ruin it.

>the chicken sandwiches, and Filet-o-fish
huh, I thought I was the only one who kinda liked them
I mean, filet o fish tastes like frozen fish patty from any grocery, but I'm kinda ok with that

>>11806634
I'm sorry this upsets you but where the fuck else do I post this
I've wanted to ask others for a long time too

>>11806515
for at least 50 years. mcdonalds became popular because of their consistency, not their quality. you could be pretty sure you weren't going to get food poisoning at mcdonalds, no matter which one you are were at. if you were on vacation, you could get the same identical stuff at the mcdonalds in scenic dumbfuckistan as you could at the one down the street from your home in fuckyouflyover, and vice versa.

>>11806515
> Have McD's burgers always been this mediocre?
Yeah. McD's main stay has always been its attraction towards kids with happy meal, dollar menu and efficient drive-thru. The burgers? Considered the worst.

>efficient drive-thru
And now their drive-thrus are slow as shit. Pretty much removes the point of going now.

>>11806585
How is it ruined?
More people prefer it that way so it's an improvement.
McDonald's also make more money since they can sell the same product at the same price while being able to spend less on it.

win win for everyone

Thanks, this is pretty much what I have heard from other people
It used to be hard to believe for me, considering that many people here where I live think "McDonalds = burgers"
>you could be pretty sure you weren't going to get food poisoning at mcdonalds
then again I'm pretty confident in any other fast food chain but they all have better burgers

Obviously they were never good but they did get worse due to inflation etc

>>11806529
Not true desu. Store brand is usually guaranteed to be top quality for a budget price, unless you do your grocery shopping at Walmart or one of the cuckchains like Trader Joe's like a filthy animal.

Food Lion store brand is top quality no matter what, and Shaws is a major contender.

>>11806748
It tastes like shit
This is only a win for shills and vegans

>>11806787
>it is only a win for shills and people who wanted it

isn't everything that way?

>>11806801
I wonder what vegans "win" from removing beef fat from fries when the most of the menu contains meat anyway

>>11806584
The Quarter Pounder with cheese plus a side of the Big Mac sauce to put on it is literally the best possible sandwich at McD's.

>>11806818
The fries are the best part of the McDonalds experience. It's hard to enjoy anything there as a vegetarian or vegan, as your only real options are the parfaits, Frappes, and salads.
>>11806828
This desu. Though I would argue that the Angus burgers were the absolute best before they cut them from the menu. The Angus Deluxe with a side of Big Mac sauce was my go-to for three years.

>>11806818
They didn't remove the beef fat, vegetarians just removed the flavoring.

The beef fat was a animal fat scare caused by one idiot who had a heart attack and spent millions being asshurt about it.

So they replaced it with transfats.

hmm I'll try it. since I'm not in US, it's actually called differently here (Grand Cheeseburger) because we use metric. and it was kinda confusing, especially since it used to be called "Royal Cheeseburger" too. so not knowing what the fuck it meant I didn't think of trying it

i just dip the burger in massive amounts of ketchup.

>>11806858
Nigger, have you never seen Pulp Fiction?

Everyone should know what a royal cheeseburger is.

>>11808185
yeah thanks bro but I watched it in translation when I was like 10 or so, I remember jack shit from it
and it used to be called Royal here too, but now it's "Grand"
