Advantages: A guilty, trashy pleasure

Disadvantages: Unhealthy, lack of McRib, promoted by a clown with something of the night about him.

Like I need to explain who McDonald's are LOL!! Big, faceless (unless you count the clown) multinational fast food burger chain. McDonald's are the biggest fast food burger company in the world and to many people I guess they would be seen as the original fast food outlet. So, I will spare everyone tales of big golden arches and 2 brothers opening the first McDonald's during the 2nd world war and concentrate on what I like and dislike about McDonald's and why I have my beef with them.

WHAT I LIKE

Speed of service is the first thing that comes to mind. The general ignorance of the clientele (what is it with the rudeness of people these days?!?!) means you often have to fight to get served. But once you have explained to the McChav, McGangsta or McBint with her McBuggy and several other McSprogs who have tried to queue jump ahead of you that you will jab them in the eye with a straw then you generally get your food pretty quickly.

The breakfast range is really nice. The (double) sausage and egg muffin is just divine. Also, the big breakfast is yummy but I wouldn't exactly call it big. Also, the first time I ever tasted a hash brown was with a McDonald's breakfast and no other hash brown has ever come close in terms of yumminess.

The pound saver menu is also great. The 99p chicken mayo sandwich is incredible value for money. Then there is the Big Mac. Ok so this is trash food but you can't knock a Big Mac. I think the secret of the special sauce is methadone because it's so moreish.

The price is always a good thing as well. McDonald's is quite cheap and plus the bus tickets on Travel West Midlands buses often have a voucher printed on the back of them that you can redeem at McDonald's for a £1.99 deal that gets you either a Big Mac or McChicken Sandwich and medium fries.

WHAT I DISLIKE

Again, the clientele often leaves a lot to be desired. What really annoys me is that I seem to be the only person in the world who once I get to the front of the queue I can order, pay my money, take my food and be gone in a flash. Why does everybody else spend 10 minutes?!?!?!?! Why do couples or groups of people spend 5 minutes in a queue tutting at the fact that those in front are taking an age and then when it's their turn they have a full scale conversation on what they are going to have?!?!?!?! You had enough time to think and talk about this whilst you were queuing and now you yourself are holding everybody else up about 2 minutes after slagging other people off for doing the same!! Retards!!

The food is obviously very unhealthy as well. They can offer fruit bags, carrot sticks and salads but McDonald's is what it is. I would never go looking for anything healthy at one of their outlets. Also, I thought they were meant to be cutting down the amount of salt in their fries. The fries have never been saltier!!

MY BEEF

My beef is simple. My major problem with McDonald's is not about anything they are currently doing, it is about what they are not doing. There are 2 items missing from their menu that should be absolute staples. I am talking about the bacon double cheeseburger and the McRib.

When I say bacon double I don't mean in the style of the bacon cheeseburger that was recently on the pound saver menu, the one with the smokey streaky bacon. I want to see a return for the bacon double they did ages ago, the one with the round slice of bacon on it and served in a sesame seed bun instead of a plain bun, I think it was part of a promotion they did in conjunction with the movie "Space Jam". Anyway, it was magnificent and should be back on the menu.

As for the McRib, it's absolutely shocking that this is not on the menu. The nicest thing they have ever sold and where is it?!?! I know I'm not alone because loads of people I know have commented on this. Get your act together Ronald!!

CONCLUSION

McDonald's is perfectly ok once in a while but you would be well advised not to overdo it. They serve some of the guiltiest, trashiest food going but I can't see a time when I will be able to abstain. I realise this probably makes me a bad person LOL

Summary: Ba ba ba ba ba.......I'm enjoying it in moderation
