Actually, they’re all about imprinting their brand onto the kid’s brain, so that even after the kid grows up, they will regularly get mysterious urges: “Remember how you loved it when your parents took you out to get toys at dinner, and you didn’t have to eat any vegetables? Sure, you can recreate that childhood joy under the Golden Arches!”
It happened for quite some time for me too. Then it dawned on me that I could make my own burgers fairly easily and wayyyy more tasty than McDo. That, and I discovered my favorite “all-you-can-eat” japanese restaurant had better chicken nuggets, and that, what I actually missed, was the barbecue sauce.
The problem, of course, is that marquee name is now infamous for particular reasons that might even seem ironic under the present comedic circumstance, but does anyone remember the television episode when Denise got upset with Theo and Cockroach for comparing girls to cheeseburgers?
And can we all agree to hate typos when that means omitting the “the”, or is more diplomatic language required, such as expressing our deep regret and concern?
I know of three Five Guys within 100 miles of me. They’re all exactly 100 miles away. This is truly lamentable. My city is dominated by a university and interstate highway so the only restaurants here are fast franchise garbage. Lots of international options, which is nice, but the only edible burgers are in adjacent towns.
Almost 70%? Really? I would have thought much less than that.
I read that as 10%.

They do push those ads.
But I prefer Burger King to McD.
In fact:
McD<BK<Sunset/Subway<pizza (no pedo)<Chinese takeaway<Thai takeaway<Italian restaurant
Did you need to say no pedo for pizza? That joke only works for “CP” I thought.
Yes I have that. At least once a year I succumb to the McUrge, only to discover that yes, it’s so much blander than I thought I remembered.

I can resist… until Shamrock Shakes come back out, then I am theirs to command lol

Thorbjørn: Indeed, I prefer BK to McD’s too… because that’s what i grew up with.
Well lets hope you never find out about Five Guys burgers and fries. Their french fries are 100 percent potato.

I’ve been reading this comic for 5+ years and literally two minutes ago realized that the bugs don’t have mouths.
I don’t judge kids for liking McDonalds, but I sure judge their parents :-p
I only go to McDonald’s for Streetpass. I’ll consider eating there again when they start paying their workers a living wage.
Remember when Mickey-Ds had good fries? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
