Its cheap

>Do they have any advantage at all over any other burger place?
Their name.

Their close proximity to low income urban people is aiding in the long term guberment plan to make them all incontinent, disabled diabetic beefmoons.
Careful, y'all

>>4360426
This.

After working at one, I really pondered just why the hell the place was so popular. The only answer is that it's cheap and easy to find.

>going to McDonalds for the beef burgers
Also, dunno where you live, but their fries are really good here

The nuggets and fries are good.

I don't go to McDonalds expecting a fine meal but as someone who doesn't eat very much salt I like their food because it's a cheap and salty treat.

>>4360422
>No tomatoes
Why do you need tomatoes when you have ketchup?
Ketchup is basically just more convenient tomatoes.
Don't the third pounders have lettuce and tomatoes though anyways?

>>4360440
>Why do you need tomatoes when you have ketchup?

Doesn't Canada have better quality beef overall (our standards seem to be higher when you compare charts)? So even the lowest grade of Canadian beef that we use in our MD is still better than the crap they use in yours over in the US.

>>4360422
The Daily Double has a tomato.
You can also add tomatoes to whatever you like.

>>4360422
Price mainly.

Thank you, OP, for making me realize what I want to eat. I haven't had a quarter pounder with cheese in over 5 years. I love that garbage burger. Favorite of all fast food burgers. I had been sitting here for the last 8 hours, hungry but apathetic. Nothing sounded good. Turns out I don't want good. I want rot gut shit. I'm off to McDick's now.

>>4360422
>lowest quality beef
A fucking mcdouble tastes better than Burger King's shit.

>>4360422

>>4360501

fuck off

>>4360494
>quarter pounder with cheese
I don't know, but the last time I ate one the patty was gross as fuck. I'm in Canada. It's kinda funny how the cheapest burger in their menu tastes objectively the best

>>4360512
Are you that person who eats at Burger King? Burger Kings are always fucking empty as fuck in my town

>>4360519

its always busy when i go. back in san antonio and in the small town of brainerd mn

Whopper is best fast food burger

>>4360519
Same here. There's a small street with BK on the corner of one end, and McDs on the corner at the other. McDs is always full, BK is significantly emptier.

>>4360542
>Whopper is best fast food burger

Kids love it. The fries are good. Most recognizable fast food chain because advertising. They are mostly clean, fast and consistent. They are everywhere. The big mac is actually good. The dollar menu is cheap as fuck.

That being said there are much better fast food chains.

>>4360542
BK is biggest let down in fast food
good ideas for burgers
commercials make it look mouth watering
actually buy a BK burger... why does it look like some fat jig sat on this?!

every frigging time
all their food is smashed up looking & just plain messy

I like their fries. At least when they're still hot.

Burgers are cheap. I usually just get half a dozen McDoubles for a dollar each and refrigerate them.

Is it just me, or do their burgers taste much better when you microwave them? The burger seems juicier and the cheese actually melts all the way.

Aside from that, I like to get random things off the menu. Soft serve, apple pies, whatever.

>>4360631

you go to a shitty bk then, i have to smash it down my self to take a bite

I worked at a McDonald's for a year. I can tell you anything you want to know about the place.

One thing about McDonald's is that they care about speed above all else, to a fault even. So let's say you come in while business is slow, you wouldn't expect burger patties to be cooked already, but surprise surprise you find your order is done and handed to you within a minute. Likely the patties in your burger have been sitting around for the last 10-15 minutes.

They're supposed to throw the patties away if they've been sitting in the heater for 15 minutes, but managers discourage wasting product and you don't want them to get angry at you for disposing of old product.

>>4360631
I went to BK to try out their new items.

Turkey Burger is surprisingly good. Moist patty, good condiments.
Chipotle Chicken tasted better than any chicken sandwich I had from Wendy's.
Loaded Tater Tots were good, but desperately needs dipping sauce.

The problem with BK is that each of these new sandwiches are about $7 a piece. An entire meal at In-N-Out is like $6.

Also they fucked up their fries horribly.

>>4360422
Yeah, they taste better than any other fast food joint.

>>4360639

so ask for a dipping sauce then faggot. zesty is the only way to go

>>4360639
Burger King has ALWAYS had nasty fries. And anyone else notice that they completely revamp their fries every 2-3 years? Every time they suck, usually worse than they were to begin with. The burgers are better than McD's though.

>>4360642
I thought their fries were the same for like 15 years when they first started airing the Mr. Potatohead ads.
They changed them like 2 years ago to make them thicker, and it seems to have sucked all the flavor out of them.

>>4360642
The latest fries are the worst. The fries before at least tasted decent when made fresh to order.

On the topic of Burger King, I have something I want to confess about them.

Back when I was a kid, I only ate their chicken tenders. I ate them with their honey dipping sauce. They were so good. Back then, you got a box of 8 chicken tenders for like a dollar and I'd usually have my dad get me 3-4 boxes of them. It was the best.

Several years later it became a six piece, but it was still the same thing, then years later they changed the chicken tenders into crown shapes instead of being small strip pieces and for some reason the crown pieces didn't taste as good, but I still ordered it anyways. Then at some point they got rid of the classic honey sauce that I ALWAYS used to get, they only have honey mustard which wasn't the same.

I've never ordered a burger at Burger King and ever since the chicken tender changes the place has been dead to me.

>>4360647
Nah, BK has constantly changed and "improved" the fries. IMO none of them have been really good. They all taste like salt and cardboard. I don't like the new ones either. I don't eat there more than once or twice a year but I'll usually just pay the extra dollar and get some onion rings. Those, those are alright.

Burger King is the second worst big fast food chain right behind KFC.

>>4360431

gooby pls go

>>4360542
>lives in the same state as whataburger and thinks whopper is the best fast food burger

YEP. Whataburger isnt that great. taste like mustard and pickles and thats all. I do miss them tho. never ate there much since no value menu except for justaburgers which isnt even on the menu

>>4360463
yes especially in Alberta, where I live
dem mcdonalds angus beef burgers

>>4360712
Wow Alberta bro! Where? I'm in Edmonton.

>>4360542
lol you worthless fuck. Eat at Whataburger only faggot.

>>4360422
They're cheap and they consistently cheap

>>4360770
>cheap
MCD meals are overpriced for their taste.

>>4360732
I'm not that guy, but I live in Jasper.

I've noticed that topics about beef or cheap liquor always calls out to other Albertans.

>>4360519

agreed

Cheap, fast, and the flavors are bland enough to eat large quantities of without neither being too boring or oppressive, while hitting the salt/fat cravings of obesechans everywhere.

Their coffee. It's the only thing.

Only things McDs does good;
Angus mushroom, deluxe, bacon.
wraps small is good side, bigs are tasty.
angus wraps. mcbreakfasts, cheap coffee.
still best fries.. bks taste like sugar, wendys taste like dirt and salt. mcds fries are potato.

>>4360632
>McDonald's Apple Pies
Fuck, I love those.

honey mustard snack wrap was my favorite. I was alone in this but I didnt care.
Now that I'm poor(er) I just other hot an spicy mcchickens. sometimes with a mcdouble and force them to have group sex.

reason i hate mcdonalds
it is the only fast food place wehre I go that I get made fun of
(because im fat)

>>4360763

Dont live in texas anymore. minnesota now

>>4360422

McDonald's is McDonald's.

It's somewhere everyone's been to as a child, it's somewhere everyone can feel welcome, it's super easy to chew, for kids and old people, it's got something for everyone, they're vertically integrated, have their own logistic chain, their food is actually engineered to suit markets. McDonald's is the pure, unconscious, uncontrolled and organic impersonation of capitalist democracy.

McDonald's is blinder than justice, it is so huge that no political entity can dare face it, it is richer than anything you can imagine, entire cities and towns have become more reliant on McDonald's sign to illuminate their world than they have on television.

McDonald's is absolutely awesome.

>>4360960
That's.... poetic.

/saved

I generally stay away from anything that isn't on the dollar menu at McDonalds. I can get similar items that are better at other places. Big Mac excluded of course.

McDonald's double cheeseburgers are crack tho.

Good thing about McDonalds is you can go in and do whatever you want and generally the staff won't bitch at you.

My friends and I have been playing Magic: The Gathering at a Mcdonald's for the past year, and the crew hasn't bothered us once. Can't say the same for Burger King, Arby's, or Subway.

Only reason I go to any fast food burger place is for one thing.
The god damn Crispy Chicken Sandwiches.

God damn I get 3 of em + a soda any time I visit McDonalds or Wendys. They are just so damn good

>mfw they got rid of the CHicken Selects

Why

Why would you do that

Your snack wraps taste awful now that you're using the premium chicken filets for them.

i only went there for the chicken selects, but they removed them..

Ausfag here. Had mcdonalds a couple of times in the states last week. Shit sucks.

Maccas in Australia is superior. Its not even close. Fries taste a million times better, meat tastes better. And you can get a fucking small, and medium is medium. Your medium is our large, and our large is our largest available size. Fucking fat cunts.

>>4360994
>>4360992
They ditched the Fruit and Walnut salad too. And apparently the Angus 1/3rd Pounders are on the chopping block as well.

Reason? McDonalds is jumping on the "re-invention" bandwagon like Burger King and Arbys has in recent years. Expect a "fancier" looking McDonalds and associated items.

>>4361003

Back in the day, our medium was your medium.

i live in austria and the burgers and especially the fries here at burger king are pretty amazing

>>4361003
>Maccas

>>4360772
thats subjective because obviously the people buying it don't think so

>tomatoes on McD's burger

Why would you even want that? It would taste disgusting.

and their fries are good. Their bread is godly and the burgers aren't bad as long as you don't have them often, otherwise they start tasting like chemical flavored mush.

I can verify Australia's version is a lot better.

We made a big fuss about food quality back when I was younger and they were such a big target they were one of the first places to fix shit up.

Almost all our fast food places use canola oil now, 100% beef, etc. McDonalds even has a fucking health menu with water and fruit and stuff like that on it. Even for the kid's meals.

And yes, they have burgers with tomato. Only the chicken ones I think, but it's there.

>>4360440
Ugh tomatoes and tomato ketchup are disgusting. Banana ketchup master race.

I've always thought of macdonalt like I think of little caesars.

They both exist so that places which make the same type of food have to reduce their prices to be somewhat competitive.

Only a fool or a starving man eats at macdonalts or little caesars.

>>4361032
Any excuse to post this.

>>4361121
Same in Europe. Low quality shit would just not fly here. The nuggets are made of 100% chicken fillet, not the pink goo.

Also, McFeast has tomato.

I never really got how McDonalds/Bk is supposed to be cheap. To be full you have to eat pretty much of there stuff and it doesn't really keep you full. I'd have to pay like 6 € to be really full, at least in Germany there are tastier and cheaper ways to satisfie your hunger. Chinese quick restaurants, Currywurst, Döner etc.

I can't fathom how anyone would prefer BK to McDonalds

>and no tomatoes on any of their burgers

I just now realized this.

>>4360422
$1 burgers
I could eat those shitty mcchickens every day, something about them I love.

They used to taste alright and be affordable. Now everyone goes there for something that tastes alright and is affordable but they forget until they get there that it now tastes like shit and is too expensive for what it is.

It's also familiar food for people who are traveling and still cheaper and better than most of the shithole mom and pop joints that litter flyover country.

>>4361178
Two words: Angus Beef

>>4360519

Same here, I think it's the pricing of it

You can get twice as much food in McDonalds at the same price of one Burger King meal

it's cheap and the people don't seem to mind the horse meat.

>>4360426
I think its quite expensive in Australia.

they lost me when they stopped selling huge milk shakes for $2 and replaced it with a tiny one for $4

Gahahahahahaha I've got all of you motherfuckers beat.

You see, I live in the best state in the motherfucking south, North fucking Carolina. And you know what the fuck we have in this state? Be careful here guys, you pansies from up north might explode from the motherfucking awesomeness.

God damn Cookout, that's what we have. Just look at that motherfucking menu. It's cheap as fuck, that's what it is! And all of the food is grilled, that's right, motherfucking grilled, as you order! I can guaran-damn-tee you that you won't get a better fucking burger combo for $4. And don't get me started on motherfucking chicken strips. They have the best damn chicken strips your money can fucking afford. It's the kind of shit that you'd eat every day of the week if you could.

Forget fries. Fries are great, yeah yeah yeah, I know all the bullshit, but fries are for fucking five year olds. Their combo consists of two sides. So get yourself a motherfucking corn dog, and a god damned chicken quesadilla. Or instead of the corn dog, get some motherfucking hush puppies! Cookout does it the right way too, none of that pansy ass neat little ball bullshit either, they're real motherfucking hush puppies here!

So all of that McDonalds, Burger King, Hardees, KFC, whatever, it's all some motherfucking bullshit. You want goodass cheap food? Go to motherfucking Cookout in North Carolina!

>>4361369
Cookout has a terrible chocolate mint shake, I know that much.

Also, Louisiana has everybody beat due to the treasure trove of Raising Canes. I miss being there.

>>4361386
You don't go there for a motherfucking shake. And if you do, get pineapple like a REAL man! Pleb.

>>4361369
Well at least you have one good thing to distract yourself from the fact that you're living in the south.

Fucking lol'd. Good one man!

>>4361428

What does that have to do with anything? If you a truly poor then it's far cheaper to cook for yourself than it is to eat fast food.

>>4361435

you seem to have confused poor with lazy

I like their fries and Ice Creams, that's all.

i dont each much mcdonalds and would never consider anything more than junk food, but the worst? fuck at least they have health and safety standards so you know you arent eating a zit mc pube burger.

The only reason I eat there is because it's the only place open when I get out of work. I'll grab a couple things off the dollar menu if I'm too tired to cook anything.

What's the deal with McDonald's? It's fast, cheap and most importantly it's a well-known brand. Customers don't feel like plebs for buying cheap crap if they do so under a brand name they respect.

Their burgers don't even taste like burgers - they taste like McDonald's - it's food science gone wild. But instead of the realization that you're taking your kid out for wildly unhealthy processed crap, the branding has people thinking it's some kind of wonderful family treat. Hit the right combination of fat, sugar and salt and people will eat it. Pour enough money into advertising and you can sell garbage as long as people feel good about the brand.
