That seems odd, doesn't it? Ever?

That number is BS.

If they qualified it as past 5-10 years then I'd say much more believable. I don't think I've had one in 10 years.

I get a craving for a BigMac once a year or so.

I had a QP with cheese about a month ago. It's probably been about 15 years since I've eaten one. I felt like absolute shit about an hour after I ate it. That was a good lesson.

They dont suck. They are great once every eight months or so.

I have never had a Big Mac.

My sister, however, made the state finals in the mid-70s for speed-reciting the "Two all-beef patties..." slogan-thing.

I'd rather have a whopper. I don't like thousand island dressing on my burger.

Please use the proper terminology, it's special sauce.

The salt they put in those things is unbelievable.

The Daily Double burger (McDonalds Whopper) is pretty tasty.

I try to stay away,I know it's a killer.

Love me a Big Mac. I actually went to McDonalds for the first time in a few months earlier in the week. Had a quarter pounder and I
really didn't like it at all. Been eating much cleaner and staying away from fast food lately and I think I may have just eaten at
McDonalds for the last time in quite a while.

the biggest problem w/ the Big Mac is the ratio of meat to bread
BK solved this in the 90's with the Big King, that was basically just a double cheeseburger w/ the sauce, but then it got discontinued and now bums won't even eat BK anyways

for me the biggest issue w/ McDonalds (aside from the quality of the food) is the price
If a Big Mac was 2$, i'd get a couple once in awhile
When it's like 4$ and the meal is 6$ (or whatever), you could just get something much better from Portillo's (or any number of places)
If you're going to offer lower quality food that's fine, but the prices need to reflect that

Good points. The few times I go there,I'm kind of shocked at what one meal does cost nowadays.

This has been as big a turnoff from McDonalds as anything. Not much "value" in a $7 extra value meal. I'd rather have a Jimmy Johns
sub or something.

The Whopper used to be my favorite fast food item. The quality seemed to go down with every one I had in the past 10 years to the point I'm not sure I'll order one again. I don't know if my tastes changed or the quality went way downhill.
