Luv 2 liv in a country where the price of a compressed meat puck is a reliable baromterer of incoming economic disaster.
Sometimes I still get the cravings for shitty McDonalds food.
Those fuckers know how to engineer the shittiest food possible to be addictive.
Can't agree when it comes to beef tho, beef is like a fundamentally "non-addictive" food for me. Mcdonalds beef is just bad IMO because heavy foods like that don't mix well with the disgusting grody addictive quality
The addictive things are the filet-o-fishes, nuggets, fries, hash browns
yup
Can't get addicted to beef but even if I could, McD has horrible burgers. Whoppers are probably the best fast-food burger option to me

white people like sweet foods more. genetically

idk when you last had one but in my experience that's just what they look like in real life
Wanting to make a joke about shrinkflation and George just getting out of the pool, but also wanting to raise the point as being a real thing
Might I interest you in purchasing my cryptocurrency pegged to the price of the Big Mac?
Anyway, I googled it and McDonalds profits were up 59% last year.
I don't know if you got this, but this is not a good sign.
