Why does McDonald's still insist on adding fucking pickles on all of their burgers

If they were gone tomorrow would anybody actually miss them

I would throw that burger back at them if it didn't have pickles in it. That's the best part. The saltiness enhances the meat flavor.

>> No.5564207

Vinegar pickles are a cheap way to add flavor and cut through the fatty meat and cheese.

Whenever there's a vinegar pickle on a sandwich, it's all I can taste though.

Homemade fermented pickles are infinitely better.

I'm with this guy.
I can't stand pickles on anything- the smell alone is too over powering.

It's ironic though, because at this point it's an almost "nostalgic" smell since for the longest time when I was a kid I never realized you could order food WITHOUT things at places.

I wouldn't eat their burgers if they didn't come with pickles. They've already gotten rid of the onions - no pickles would be the last straw.

>> No.5564577

>>5564075
The reason they put pickles on their burger is so that the shitty premade ones go to the customers with not taste, while the customers who order "sans pickle" will get an actual fresh, made to order burger.

Many fast food restaurants employ this same tactic to ensure the customers with ttaste are guaranteed fresh food.

>> No.5564600

>>5564577
>fresh, made to order fast food burger
Like it matters if a fast food burger is freshly assembled. It's still a fast food burger. Many fast food restaurants use pickles because they're overpowering and you won't taste how... bad it all is.

go to subway
people ask for every kind of veggie
>every kind
i get wanting a lot of lettuce in your chicken sub or a lot of tomato in a meatball sub or something
but these people ask for everything
they ask for raw bell peppers in their sandwich
they ask for both kinds of cheese in their sandwich thinking they will get twice as much cheese
they ask for a free spoon of tuna in their subs (what the fuck????)
time for condiments they only ask for some mayo
>everytime

i go to subway
just want the chicken sub on italian herbs bread, some cheddar, toasted, a lot of pickles and honey mustard
i dont even have to ask because they know me and know my simple sandwich
i get full oven time for not wasting their time
the cashieer smiles at me

>Botanically, there are widely varied definitions of the word “vegetable.” It is not an officially defined technical term. The plant kingdom has at times been referred to as the “Vegetable Kingdom,” and if you’ve ever started out a round of 20 Questions by asking “animal, vegetable, or mineral,” you’ve employing that definition. So by that definition, anything that comes from a plant is a vegetable, including wheat flour. A pizza, if totally vegan, could therefore could be classified as a vegetable, along with donuts, chocolate chip cookies, and fruit loops.

Also for import purposes, the United States government has declared tomatoes a vegetable.

Pickles are great by themselves, but putting them on burgers is fucking retarded. So is diced onion as opposed to sliced, and mayo + ketchup is a better condiment combo for burgers than ketchup + mustard. This is why BK is better than mcdolans.

I think they could take sesame seeds off the market and I wouldn't even care. I can't imagine 5 years from now, saying, "Damn, remember sesame seeds? What happened? All the buns are blank! They're gonna have to change that McDonald's song: 'Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a... bun.' How's a sesame seed stick to a bun? That's fuckin' magical! There's got to be some sesame seed glue out there! Either that, or they're adhesive on one side. "Take the sesame seed out, remove the backing, place it on the bun. Now your bun will look spectacular." What does a sesame seed grow into? I don't know, we never gave them a chance! What the fuck is a sesame? It's a street...it's a way to open shit!
