if they actually went back to beef grease for a nostalgia month or something that would make me actually get some. At this point though mcdonalds isn't good or cheap anymore so I stopped eating there.
I don't agree with Malcolm Gladwell on much if anything, but his podcast episode on "frick off with this trying to make mcdonalds healthy bullshit, everyone knows its unhealthy so use beef tallow so it's actually fricking delicious instead of shitty tasting AND still shitty for you" is one I solidly agree with
Yeah, my thought exactly.
I went to burger king for the first time last year. I exported BURGER king of all places to have good burgers. Instead they were as bland and boring as those you get at mcdonalds.
they can't even use salt anymore since muh bad.
The business model for chain restaurants relies entirely on making their offers unopinionated so they are palatable to as many people as possible. I can't really understand why anyone bothers with them. they aren't even all that cheap nor fast either.
If i wanted fast and cheap I cook eggs.
Surely you are allowed to explicitly ask for a specific toy with your happy meal instead of just buying happy meals and throwing them in the garbage.
My parents never bought me any happy meals so I have never had one.
When I was a kid, my cousin and I used to get happy meals. He was about 3 years older than I am, and had that "collector" personality, so if he got a toy in his happy meal he already had, he would go up to the counter and ask the staff to change it. Even then (I couldn't have been more than 5 years old) I knew there was something very annoying with what he was doing. Sometimes the staff would see what other toys they had, sometimes they would just tell him he got what he got.
Strange to think on it now, but it's interesting how early on I realized you could actually be bothering people with your stupid requests.
He's not happy, he's performing happiness. Authentic emotion in video apps is almost completely non-existent, because of the way that the algorithm (which is informed by the kinds of faceblind autists that can spend 8+ hours a day watching that sort of thing) rewards exaggerated facial expressions and gesticulation.
The monkey is dancing in hopes that the robot will feed it, and the robot is programmed by a 10 year old autistic child who can't recognize facial expressions if they aren't super exaggerated.
Welcome to man made horrors beyond your comprehension.
No anon, there is no benefits from micro plastics.
Millenials just don't want to grow up.
what's the twist?
Cardiovascular disease
I guess just that they're nostalgia meals.

imagine keeping a straight face while reading that to a press release
people will do a lot of things for a six figure income
what about the nostalgic taste? without the sneed oils

I miss the $1 McDoubles. They weren't good but they were a lot of cheap convenient protein. Great for bulking.

just think about how this man makes six figures saying this shit
He makes seven figures
>our market research tells us there is huge money to be made in the optimistic youth nostalgia of hopeless millennials
JFC that is sad.
People are nostalgic for McDonald's?
when was the last time you were truly happy? it's ~~*devious*~~
not buying until they bring back moon man
A shot of insulin included with the meal. Also, the Happy Meal costs $600.
Instead of a toy you can choose between xanax, adderall or prozac because they really want to put a emphasis on making this a happy meal
Disney+ and 1 month OF up to $15
mmm goyslop
I remember when McDonald’s recently had toys for the sonic movie I hit up like 3 McDonalds a day to collect my favorite friends
Would be funny if the Happy men for Millennial Men had a strap-on in it.

Only if being infantilized is a benefit
Get ready for sois/youtubers/reddit to throw shekels like they never have before
I buy happy meals as they are. Perfect amount for a cheat meal
I'd buy an adult happy meal if it came with a certain smart, small pony. Y-You know, for the lulz of course haha totally ironic.
>I NEED MY HAPPY MEAL
>GIVE ME MY HAPPY MEAL
>WHERE THE HECK IS MY TOY? IM SUPPOSED TO GET A TOY WITH MY HAPPY MEAL
Read in the voice of Howard Stern or George Constanza ... Kek. Thank me later.
heh heh

What kind of man would buy something like that
If only there were enough events to motivate him to move like that more frequently.
Americans
Don't know why but this makes me legitimately sad
at least he's happy

Adult happy meals will just be given to fat kids. Child obesity will grow.
