Has anybody ever looked at the slogans on McDonald's packaging lately?

I'm looking at this Double Quarter Pounder w/Cheese box and it says on the side "Got my hands full of the big beefy taste...I'm lovin' it!"

WTF?

I'd tell you what's on the bag but it's in Spanish and I don't speak Spanish. The voice in my head that yells at me all the time in a foreign language, I thought he was speaking Spanish but it turns out it's Portuguese so even that dude can't tell me what it says.

    Man! Toxic Hell and beer will give you such wonderful experiences in the bathroom that not even the bathroom etiquette rules can cover the sheer destruction that will ensue!



    Then again, a good chunk of my youth was spent guzzling the JUMBO sized Pepsi and half a 24 pack of tacos to go! Those JUMBO sizes made the McDonald's SUPER Size look like a puddle!

    The only problem I see here is the fact that you guys are actually eating a DOUBLE 1/4 pounder. I found a long time ago I could eat 1/2 the portion and be just as full if I only slowed down a little.......LOL.....AND I've lost some weight too. (Has nothing to do with what my Cardio & Gastro doctors have said to me)

    I ordered a QP the other day, had two bites and threw it away. It sure didn't taste like a hamburger - there was no texture change between the bun, cheese, and meat. Gross, and never again.

    Years ago in my hometown of Thibodaux, LA, the local McDonald's was advertising their new "Big 'N Tasty" on the letter board thingy on the main sign (what do you call that anyways?) -- problem is, the "T" fell off instead, creating the message "Come try the new Big 'N asty." I wish I would have taken a picture since it was pretty damn funny.

    A few years ago I stopped eating fast food for a period of time. ANy burgers I'd have were either home made or from a real reasturant of some sort. After a year or so I went back and tried several different fast food burgers. Nearly spit out the first one, the other brands were no improvement.

    Whatever the time away from these things did to me, it was a real change. I can't eat fast food burgers without feeling like I'm consuming something harmful. Fries are all good, though.

    Since Ive been in Japan, I noticed a few things about McDs and KFC. First off the largest burger out here is the Big Mac, sometimes with a special appearance by whats called a Mega Mac, (two big macs stacked together, double beef patties). They offer supersizing but it equals our medium serving size. A small size drink is the same as what the lady gives you for a cup of water. Theres no such thing as the 1/4lb burgers and the like. As for KFC, thats like eating at Tony Romas, the cost of the fried bird is crazy expensive. For a 3 piece you spend about 6-7 bucks, forget about the bucket they dont offer it. Must admit though, the McDs and KFC is always fresh, no stale fries. I'm Loving It.

    And these fake 7/11 stores out here are garbage, they dont even carry the BIG GULP!

    That's 'cause it wasn't!.

    They have "special" employees who hunt down the burger "meat".
