McDonald's answers your questions

[Armatus]

I was going for coffee every morning since it's a buck any size, BUT it started to taste like cigarette butts...not sure if it's because it's sitting too long on burner or what.

wtf chad

Alas, Mishkin, it seems Chad has been weighed and found wanting. Evidently, our Mods determined their post to be an exercise in AI that was rather more artificial than it was intelligent.

Since we're here, now I'm curious if anything's changed on this front. Seems to be back to good old corporate mumspeak but regrettably, I do not follow Micky D on social media.

I've been rereading this thread, it seems like he was smarter than I was 12 years ago...

Unless there is a documentary starring a famous vegan actor denouncing where McDonalds get their meat or the consequences for the planet of massive livestock farming... No, I don't think that even that would affect the company. In fact, I think that some documentary of that style with some famous second-rate actor has already been made. They just have to make nice spots and offer cheap food.

who's chad?

[mishkin]

an account controlled by a bot or something. thats why the post was deleted.

On topic, looks like Woody Harrelson made son vegan documentaries. So go vegan guys. #BeLikeWoody (Harrelson. Not Allen. Please).

Alas, poor Chad, we knew him [well]. A fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. […]
Where be your gibes now? Your gambols? Your songs? Your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar?


FREE CHAD!


@ Thread. What put me off MacDonalds were the frequent reports in the news of experiments where their hamburgers were left on a counter uncovered in the open air, for weeks to months to even years on end with absolutely no evidence of mold or rotting. Sometimes they didn't even dry out. It turns out MacDonalds infuses their product with anti-microbial and preservative chemicals, no doubt to compensate for the hugely varying competencies of their franchisees and avoid food poisoning lawsuits. Okay fine, but the human gastrointestinal tract relies upon symbiotic microbes to digest one's food and absorb its nutrients. What sort of effect would MacDonalds chemical warfare have on that? Rather not find out.


In response to these reports, MacDonalds issued a hardly reassuring statement that under certain, particular and rather specific circumstances, their food, might, may, just possibly rot. You know, like normal food does. No guarantees, though.


By the way, Dismounted Feudal Knight, care for a spot of untowardness? (A running joke, at least in one's own mind.)

[AqD]

How do we know you two are not bots?

[Dismounted Feudal Knight]

Vegan bot, untoward bot, pole bunny bot. I see no difference.

[skh1]

… untoward bot…

Okay. Okay. I'm totally sigging that.

[Edit: As it happens, no I won't.]
