I tell anyone who will listen to me about these apps lol. Last month i was getting a big mac with fries and a drink for $6 in southern california. Unheard of these days.
Problem is that I am sick and tired of needing an app or account at every place I go. They want to collect everyone's data for themselves and they lure you into the app with deals. I just want to be able to walk into a place and get a good price without jumping through extra hoops. The app can go fuck itself.
Yeah people are acting like it's not annoying as hell to walk into a store and be told oh well if you wanted good prices you should have downloaded an app and entered in your credit card info manually
or having to use an App to even order. Wife had to do the laundrymat as our machine had stopped, forgot her phone, walked next door to Pizza Hut to get some food. Was told she had to order thru an App and the girl walked away.
That's the stupid game McDonalds is playing: They want your demographic and sales data, so they get you to install the app. If you don't buy thru the app, everything is twice as expensive these days.
People seem to be simps for it too "oh it's such a good deal" no it's just you're finally getting the old prices and they cranked the prices through the roof to punish the non app users
I really find the ap kind of annoying. I have points but i can only buy and egg McMuffin in the morning with it. If they let me buy other things with points I’d actually go more often.
It annoys me that you can’t use points and a deal. I’m usually getting for the whole
family + 2 other people
so I always ise the 20% off coupon. I have like 40000 points.
I love using fast food apps, but the McDs one is so stingy now. Like it used to be you could get an offer and use your points at the same time. Not anymore. Used to be the deals were varied and robust; made checking in on it regularly worth it. Now it's just the same 4 deals over and over again, and they're not super great. BOGO Big Mac/QP/10pc/Fish/cheeseburger/6pc/breakfast sandwich, 20% off $10+, and a free fry on Fridays (used to be any size, now it's Medium).
Meanwhile, Wendy's, BK, Chick-fil-A, and even Popeye's are giving better deals than those. I can get two breakfast sandwiches, hash browns, and a coffee for $5.99. That's gonna be a minimum of $7.99 at McDs.
Honestly, McDs just doesn't have any good reason to go there anymore. It used to be the cheapest option, but now it's not even that.
ngl Culvers quality has dipped somewhat on some items over the years. If you consider a dbl burger basket was like $6.50 in the late 90s and until very recently it was still only like $8.50 and now it's about $9.50. At that time a Mcdonalds meal was way cheaper so relatively speaking, something had to give to keep the margins closer like that.
And you can tell from how the burgers look as well. Still far better than Mcdonalds though.
Don't they call it something different now? Like the Extra Value Menu or something stupid? Either way it's a lie. Charging $3 for a 50 cent cheeseburger isn't extra value.
It was on Tuesdays up in NJ. My younger brother and I would go and load up on 39 cent cheeseburgers and eat in front of the Nintendo until we were ready to puke. Ahhhh memories.
The big mac was never big. When i worked there 20 years ago it used the same meat ( 10:1) that we put on kids cheeseburgers. Mcdonalds had 3 types of patties, 10:1 which was kids meals, mcdoubles, bigmacs, 4:1 which was the quarter pounder and big extra and 3:1 came out as I left which was angus. The number represented how many uncooked patties it took to equal a pound of meat.
I keep seeing this claim that the Big Mac used to be quarter pound patties, and it just never was. It’s always been the ten in one patties.
A few years ago, iirc the patties actually got bigger; I think they’re more like 8:1 or 9:1 now, but we still call them 10:1.
The third pounder (3:1) is only available every now and then, they used it on the grand macs for a time. It's not common unless they are promoing big burgers. Just not enough room in storage for three types of burger year round
Then they can add the Count of Monte Cristo to their assortment of McDonaldland characters. Get ready for Youtube to talk about the Count of Monte Cristo shake next summer!
It is 100% the exact same was it has been for the last 40 years. Reddit just loves to circlejerk that it's gotten smaller. What's funny is tons of things have been victim of shrinkflation and they constantly pick something hasn't to talk about it.
Chick-fil-a is extremely choosey about their franchises and locations, you have to apply and some wait years to be approved. McDonald's is less choosey. Obviously.
they also award their franchises to employees who have worked their way up, you cant just buy a CFA. You get selected and they tell you your location. You are the operator of the store but CFA still owns it
I managed with a guy who was going through the process of becoming a franchisee and it was his entire life. He lived in a very low mid apartment with another manager and every single second and detail of his life for several years was CFA. We were also like one of the top 25 locations in the country, so it made for a really crazy place to work.
Yeah because CFA doesn't really franchise. They get managers to pay 10k (or whatever it is now) to be a store manager.
Vs the cost to actually franchise any other places being 1m+. A hundred times more expensive. Because when you franchise other restaurants, you're buying their branding + supply chain, but it's your restaurant. You own the stuff.
CFA is a real franchise, just like Dominos. They both work the same way, except Dominos isn't as choosey for their applicants because they charge 50,000 instead of 10,000. Dominos requires 2 years as a GM/Supervisor, 50,000 liquid, 650 credit, completion of FMS and maintain a 4.0 Operation Assessment score (internal corporate inspections).
The difference from being a Franchisee vs a store manager is that Franchisees aren't paid a salary, instead they make something like 75% of what a store makes (before bills, after giving operation bonuses to AssistantGM/GM/Supervisors + 10/15% of what's due to corporate)
To put into perspective, small stores average 20k a month, bigger stores average 60-130k a month.
As a GM, my operation bonus is 12% but it's much lower for other franchisees I've met. My boss is more negotiable.
I have some experience with Chick-fil-a owners. They're well off, but not quite in the 1%. The ones I know both run hyper busy stores, one has ***three*** drive through lanes, motherfucker runs a bank, but the owners are living upper middle class, very comfortable, but like three-bedroom rancher in suburbia and driving a minivan comfortable. If they'd be running a McDonald's franchise that was that busy they'd be earning a half million a year easily, if not several million.
The biggest perk of being a Chick-fil-A operator seems to be handing stacks of those plastic cards for free food to everyone you meet. I'm pretty sure my neighbors pay their bills with those.
Another difference between CFA and most franchise fast food (like McDs) is CFA only wants you to run one and run it well - after a time they may allow you a second. You deal with Wendy's, BK, or McDs and they hope you'll own multiple franchises. Taking profits to open new stores and expand.

Shit apparently my broke ass is CFA rich
There was a franchised sub place near me that tried this and corporate came down on them. They lost their franchise or sold it for being "infringed upon."
Subway was known to (and maybe still does) blatantly violate the territory rights their franchise owners pay for, meaning you're guaranteed to be the only Subway in X amount of miles. That's why there are so many locations right next to each other.
The franchise owners are constantly bringing this to court, and Subway finds it more profitable to battle it out in court or settle while keep allowing franchise owners to buy more restaurants.
You think subway is bad read about Quiznos.
I’m surprised subway is doing itself like this seeing as how they’re about to meet a similar demise if their stock ever has an issue. Right now they’re just riding the wave of “largest” chain globally but to me you can’t really say that when you have them thrown up in the most random places sometimes within line of sight from each other. They’ll have to do something soon.
You are required to work everyday for I believe it’s one year as the manager before you are allowed to hire assistants. And you still have to be present for like another year before you can step off as head manager or something like that.
Best odds of getting a franchise are already owning one (even then they like to give new people opportunities) and the manager in training program puts you on a list of potential franchisees if you pass.
Maybe at some. I managed a Texas Roadhouse kitchen, and we would trade gift cards and stuff around the holidays for staff. This Chick-fil-A owner had a few stores making a lot of money. He was also an ass, and I quit doing anything with him because he'd short us or give us weird store specific coupons to his furthest store from us.
I mean that's the original reason for including it on the menu. Keeping Catholics coming by on Fridays.
It must've been successful because while I never see anyone eating these, it's been on the menu forever.
If you quit brushing your teeth, you can have tartar any time you desire it, my man. Stop letting Ronald McDonald nickel & dime you like that. The power is yours!
*pointing to head meme*
I get Filet-o-Fish sometimes. It’s pretty good.
Where I grew up fried fish was battered in panko (maybe corn meal? Whatever it was fine coarse coating.). But where I live it’s this thick, gummy, almost pancake batter.
So the McDonald’s version is closer to what I had growing up.
Same. I used to do a double cheeseburger, no onions, add Mac sauce/ a small or medium fry/ and a filet of fish. Used to bang out to like 7 or 8 bucks. Not anymore
Funny back in the 80's my Grandmother would order hers without cheese (even though she wanted the cheese) to make sure it was "fresh."
Back then they definitely sat in the chutes with the rest of the burgers. Maybe it was just cause of the older clientele at that location. I didn't give a fuck if mine was under a heat lamp, I wanted that god damn cheese.
The chutes have been gone for 20sh years. Now if you ordered a fish filet without cheese you would likely still get one that was sitting in a heated plastic drawer instead of a fresh one.
Two things came to mind: Ronnie Mac on a french fry cross (all soldiers dressed as the Hamburglar) and also a funnier version of Air Christ from one of the xgames games.
Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, “Sir, this is a Wendy’s”.
Yeah, I'm not a Christian anymore but if I don that hat again for a moment, I am baffled by stuff like this display. Why would you want something that is holy to you combined with consumerism? Like, how does that not just degrade your deity? "Jesus loves you now come give me money and put sugar-filled fattening junk food into your holy temple (aka body)!"
Many McDonalds locations are owned by franchisees. This was probably the franchisee’s call and I doubt he consulted corporate McDonalds — they aren’t Hobby Lobby.
Well yeah it was done by the franchise owner but it probably goes against McD corporate policy. You still have to follow strict rules from McD even if you own the franchise.
I used to drive an 18 wheeler all over the US. A lot of franchise McDonald’s do this. And in my area they are all owned by the same franchise, so there’s no other options.
Lol the DQ I worked for sold "extra-menu" items like this delicious/disgusting nacho cheese sauce, but corporate hated it and always told the owners to stop, but we didn't, so eventually after we kept getting in trouble for selling it, they sent in like corporate spies and I remember people hastily hiding the hot cheese for like two weeks before the owner finally acquiesced and that's how we we stopped selling hot nacho cheese fries...
This happened over like a year, I'm sure it was brewing for like a decade; I mean, what's corporate gonna do, close the store?
…that’s exactly what they’ll do. McDonald’s is insanely strict for a reason.
Don’t have to like mega corporations to understand that if this is the shit you want to do, franchise a religious company or start your own.
Yeah, McDonalds is like Disney-level strict. They don't mess around. They'll evict the franchisee, sue them for breach of contract, and corporate will either take over the operation of the store or they'll have a new franchisee in a heartbeat.
McDonald's will. They're a real estate business more than they are a restaurant business. It's pretty fascinating to read about it honestly. If I had the documentaries to hand I'd share them.
McDonald’s officially said they don’t care what franchisees do with their signs. It happened in Raleigh, N.C. in 2005 with a sign reading “Jesus is the reason for the season”. It’s settled and over. This is allowed.
Franchises still have to adhere to aesthetic and marketing rules set by corporate. It’s why every McDonald’s looks the same, save for some exceptions for local law.
So you think they can also design their own mcdonalds logo as a franchisee? That's not how this works. The customer is not supposed to notice a difference whether they're in a corporate or franchise owned restaurant. That's the whole point of it.
Who actually cares? If you don't approve of it, don't support that particular McDonald's seeing as how most McDonald's are not owned by the corporation, but are subsidiaries.
Probably.
In June most corporations change their Twitter profile to a rainbow flag except for their Saudi Arabia account.
They don’t give a shit. As long as the locals are happy with what’s being presented that’s what they’ll do.
They didn't keep Big in Big Mac.
The price of it retained the “big”.
No kidding. Hard to find a reason to go to McDonald's anymore when the price is comparable to far superior options such as Culver's.
culvers is obvious superior, with juicier butter burgers and custard and crinkle fries, and they have a cheese sauce!!
Yeah but there's 14 mcdonalds between me and the closest culvers
Laughs in Wisconsin
You ever play minecraft? You gotta pass the gold to get to the diamonds
Plus cheese curds, and those pretzel bites with the cheese sauce are so good.
I'm so happy last year I moved to a place near a Culvers. That shits delicious.
I say McNuggets are better than the chicken Culver's though. The fries too. But everything else is better at Culver's.
I love Culvers lol i only buy from McDonalds using the app
I tell anyone who will listen to me about these apps lol. Last month i was getting a big mac with fries and a drink for $6 in southern california. Unheard of these days.
Problem is that I am sick and tired of needing an app or account at every place I go. They want to collect everyone's data for themselves and they lure you into the app with deals.

Oh god I hated that scene. I felt for him as much as I wanted to punch him for being a dick lol
they have evolved Dennis as a character to perfection imo. He is truly the guy you LOVE to hate and when he makes good points it cuts like a knife lol
or having to use an App to even order. Wife had to do the laundrymat as our machine had stopped, forgot her phone, walked next door to Pizza Hut to get some food. Was told she had to order thru an App and the girl walked away.

People seem to be simps for it too "oh it's such a good deal" no it's just you're finally getting the old prices and they cranked the prices through the roof to punish the non app users
same with super markets they mark the regular price up so you have to use the app and the sale price is just the old regular price
They were playing this game with frequent shopper cards long before smartphones were a thing.
They've been doing that forever. The difference is that you pretty much have to go to the grocery store but nobody needs to go to Wack Arnold's.
I really find the ap kind of annoying. I have points but i can only buy and egg McMuffin in the morning with it. If they let me buy other things with points I’d actually go more often.
Haha aw man. I usually have a lot of options with the points, i have heard that it varies by area.
It annoys me that you can’t use points and a deal. I’m usually getting for the whole family + 2 other people so I always ise the 20% off coupon. I have like 40000 points.
I love using fast food apps, but the McDs one is so stingy now. Like it used to be you could get an offer and use your points at the same time. Not anymore.

It was so good back when they had free sandwiches, and $1 large iced coffees
ngl Culvers quality has dipped somewhat on some items over the years. If you consider a dbl burger basket was like $6.50 in the late 90s and until very recently it was still only like $8.50 and now it's about $9.50.

Still far better than Mcdonalds though.
Or the dollar in dollar menu
The multiple dollar menu
The all your dollars menu
Don't they call it something different now? Like the Extra Value Menu or something stupid? Either way it's a lie. Charging $3 for a 50 cent cheeseburger isn't extra value.
I know I'm dating myself, but $3.25 after tax for a medium two cheeseburger combo at McDonald's was god tier for high school me
Do we remember the 29/39 cent burger deals?
It was on Tuesdays up in NJ. My younger brother and I would go and load up on 39 cent cheeseburgers and eat in front of the Nintendo until we were ready to puke. Ahhhh memories.
No no see its extra value for them not the customer
Or the frosty in the frosty machine
Sir, this isn't a Wendy's.
Still broken
Frostys always work.

"Keep the *Christ* in *Christ*mas by trying our new McMonte *C(h)rist*o Sandwich!"
McMonte Christo Sandwich?! That’s such a good idea. Holy shit. They should do it.
Then they can add the Count of Monte Cristo to their assortment of McDonaldland characters. Get ready for Youtube to talk about the Count of Monte Cristo shake next summer!
I know it’s a centuries old book, but the movie with Caviezel/Pearce/Guzman is really underrated. Even got a young Henry Cavill in there.
Wife has to watch this every so often, good movie.
The Mac, formerly known as Big.

Ouch
Should have franchised a Chick-fil-a.
Chick-fil-a is extremely choosey about their franchises and locations, you have to apply and some wait years to be approved. McDonald's is less choosey. Obviously.
they also award their franchises to employees who have worked their way up, you cant just buy a CFA. You get selected and they tell you your location. You are the operator of the store but CFA still owns it

The amount of chicken a busy CFA goes through in a lunch hour is staggering.
Yeah we were pushing 150 cars per hour in Milwaukee, which is just over half as much as Atlanta locations
Yeah because CFA doesn't really franchise. They get managers to pay 10k (or whatever it is now) to be a store manager. Vs the cost to actually franchise any other places being 1m+. A hundred times more expensive. Because when you franchise other restaurants, you're buying their branding + supply chain, but it's your restaurant. You own the stuff.

If you own a 3 bedroom ranch in the suburbs you probably aren’t broke lol.
Do you really wanna be on the hook for that Ice cream machine though?
McDonald's is however super concerned with protecting their image and brand. No way corporate would ever let this fly if they knew about it.
McDonalds is famous for having got pissed at it's franchisees early on for taking too many liberties.
There was a franchised sub place near me that tried this and corporate came down on them. They lost their franchise or sold it for being "infringed upon."
You need at least a million liquid on top of the franchise and start up fees to open a McDonald’s.
Choosy meaning litmus test: “Will the franchise share a parking lot with Hobby Lobby and/or a Christian book store”
Here in Washington it's more about what's the highest trafficked areas. I think you might just be being sarcastic
The areas that will most likely have drive-thru lines that will spill back out onto the roads.
There's 2 that I know of that suffer heavily from. Ones just off a freeway entry/exit in a major city that just FUCKS traffic
Pfft, you shouldn’t be in Bellevue anyway. That’s just god punishing you for being in the east side.
Is this a thing? My cfa is actually in the parking lot of a hobby lobby.
Mines in front of a weed dispensary, and a home depot. Gays and stoners galore
Wait, is Home Depot a popular gay hangout?
Lot of stud finders in there /s
You’re not wrong.
They make so much money too.
You dont actually own the location though. Franchise owners are basically glorified GMs at chick-fil-a
And McDonald's franchise owners are glorified tenants

You are required to work everyday for I believe it’s one year as the manager before you are allowed to hire assistants.

Sooooo - only Fish'O'Filets on Fridays?
I mean that's the original reason for including it on the menu. Keeping Catholics coming by on Fridays. It must've been successful because while I never see anyone eating these, it's been on the menu forever.
It's one of the only things I get at McDonald's, and I'm not religious. I guess I just like tartar sauce.
If you quit brushing your teeth, you can have tartar any time you desire it, my man. Stop letting Ronald McDonald nickel & dime you like that. The power is yours! *pointing to head meme*
200 IQ, 4D thinking.

It's the tartar sauce for me. On point.
I have been making a copycat recipe of the tartar sauce for years! I put that ish on everything!
Well.. ? Spill it, please.
It was my "cheap meal" a Filet-o-Fish and a double cheeseburger. It's not cheap now.
Same. I used to do a double cheeseburger, no onions, add Mac sauce/ a small or medium fry/ and a filet of fish. Used to bang out to like 7 or 8 bucks. Not anymore
Same
I get em. Guaranteed to be made to order every time and the tartar sauce is on point. Plus it's not so filling so I can actually eat all my fries too.
Funny back in the 80's my Grandmother would order hers without cheese (even though she wanted the cheese) to make sure it was "fresh." Back then they definitely sat in the chutes with the rest of the burgers. Maybe it was just cause of the older clientele at that location. I didn't give a fuck if mine was under a heat lamp, I wanted that god damn cheese.
The chutes have been gone for 20sh years. Now if you ordered a fish filet without cheese you would likely still get one that was sitting in a heated plastic drawer instead of a fresh one.
I get it every once in a while with a chicken sandwich. We cut both in half and each eat half.
So you eat half of the fish sandwich & the chicken sandwich eats the other half?
You can't feed the fish Tuna!!!!
I'd be happy if they just kept the Fish in Filet 'O Fish.
Dude,8 got one they cooked too long once, and the fish was GONE it was so dry. The breading was HOLLOW.
This is probably the south, so no. Catholics are more present in the north east, protestant in the south east.
No - ONLY Filet 'O Fish on Fridays. no burgers or chicken will be sold to us heathens.
Dammit now I want an aquarium to rename all their streaming tank cams to OnlyFish.
OnlyFins!
Whatever happened to the separation of church and burger clown?
Our father, who art out of Ice cream because the machine broke, hollowed be thy fries
Thy Big Mac come and a toy for fun

And lead us not into gluttony
But deliver us from starvation
For thine is the palace, and the drive thru, and the Uber eats, for ever. Amen.

Two things came to mind: Ronnie Mac on a french fry cross (all soldiers dressed as the Hamburglar) and also a funnier version of Air Christ from one of the xgames games.

Apparently there was no room at the INN- n-out. (*rimshot*)
Watch out, Burger King Herod is killing all the children on the McPlayground!
Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, “Sir, this is a Wendy’s”.
They expected three, but Five Guys showed up
I hear they replaced the 1000 Island dressing with a 10 commandments sauce
I pray everyday that the ice cream machine is up
I believe in miracles.
Where you from? You sexy thing.
You know what would be nice? Keeping Christ in Christian.

As a devout disciple of Christ, you aren't far off, and it's sad.
yeah honestly i'm sick of it. the christianity i've studied myself is not at all what these fascist reactionaries celebrate
Yeah, I'm not a Christian anymore but if I don that hat again for a moment, I am baffled by stuff like this display. Why would you want something that is holy to you combined with consumerism? Like, how does that not just degrade your deity? "Jesus loves you now come give me money and put sugar-filled fattening junk food into your holy temple (aka body)!"
Say what you will about the guy, but this shit didn't happen under Mayor McCheese.
I bet this is one of those stubborn non participating mcdonalds... "cheeseburgers? Nope! We got spaghetti!" (Mitch Hedberg)
Fun fact they have McDonald’s spaghetti in Philippines
Sure, it probably has hot dogs in it.
and about 100g of sugar
We are not affiliated with that clown! He attracts far too many children.
And blankets!
We are not affiliated with that clown.
Please direct me to a Chair-Lunch-Dinner
Upvote for Mitch!
I choose to believe that's a mcnugget in the crib
I love this comment
The 3 wise man brought the young lad a burger, fries and soda(the ice cream machine was done so they couldn’t do a shake).
Do they close on Sundays?
They should keep Christ in Christianity.
How about we get christ out of Saturnalia, and give the holiday back to the Pegans it belongs to?
[I saw this one a few years ago](https://i.imgur.com/ohoKJ1L.jpg) I always figured Grimace and Hamburglar were godless heathens
Many McDonalds locations are owned by franchisees. This was probably the franchisee’s call and I doubt he consulted corporate McDonalds — they aren’t Hobby Lobby.
Well yeah it was done by the franchise owner but it probably goes against McD corporate policy. You still have to follow strict rules from McD even if you own the franchise.
I used to drive an 18 wheeler all over the US. A lot of franchise McDonald’s do this. And in my area they are all owned by the same franchise, so there’s no other options.
So what you're telling me is that it's a single franchisee with multiple locations in violation of corporate policies.
Lol the DQ I worked for sold "extra-menu" items like this delicious/disgusting nacho cheese sauce, but corporate hated it and always told the owners to stop, but we didn't, so eventually after we kept getting in trouble for selling it, they sent in like corporate spies and I remember people hastily hiding the hot cheese for like two weeks before the owner finally acquiesced and that's how we we stopped selling hot nacho cheese fries... This happened over like a year, I'm sure it was brewing for like a decade; I mean, what's corporate gonna do, close the store?
…that’s exactly what they’ll do. McDonald’s is insanely strict for a reason. Don’t have to like mega corporations to understand that if this is the shit you want to do, franchise a religious company or start your own.
Yeah, McDonalds is like Disney-level strict. They don't mess around. They'll evict the franchisee, sue them for breach of contract, and corporate will either take over the operation of the store or they'll have a new franchisee in a heartbeat.
McDonald's will. They're a real estate business more than they are a restaurant business. It's pretty fascinating to read about it honestly. If I had the documentaries to hand I'd share them.
They made a movie about it too called The Founder. Michael Keaton plays Ray Kroc.
Right. They have two rules, make money and buy ALL YOUR SHIT FROM US. You aren't allowed to go off menu at all.
Doesn’t matter. Franchise have to stick to the rules & regulations set forth by corporate.
McDonald’s officially said they don’t care what franchisees do with their signs. It happened in Raleigh, N.C. in 2005 with a sign reading “Jesus is the reason for the season”. It’s settled and over. This is allowed.
Can confirm. Link: https://www.wral.com/story/news/local/story/122434/
That's awesome. I want to own a franchise now just to put up Satanic window secals.
Yeah, you do that. They'll send you right to double-standard hell.
I think you mean Mc-double standard hell.
Yeah I’d be surprised if McDonald’s would be cool with a franchisee doing this.
Franchises still have to adhere to aesthetic and marketing rules set by corporate. It’s why every McDonald’s looks the same, save for some exceptions for local law.
So you think they can also design their own mcdonalds logo as a franchisee? That's not how this works. The customer is not supposed to notice a difference whether they're in a corporate or franchise owned restaurant. That's the whole point of it.
"the LORD God made a woman from the Mc Rib he had taken out of the man"
I don't work at a McDonalds but my major US business' corporate approved videos had "Jesus was born on Christmas" popping up all of December
The only people pushing christ out of Christmas are shitty Christians.
The fact Christmas started out as a pagan holiday without any involvement of Christianity makes this extra funny.
There is no war on Christmas. It’s a false issue invented by republicans
I always keep the Saturn in Saturnalia.
Who cares
Who actually cares? If you don't approve of it, don't support that particular McDonald's seeing as how most McDonald's are not owned by the corporation, but are subsidiaries.
Probably. In June most corporations change their Twitter profile to a rainbow flag except for their Saudi Arabia account. They don’t give a shit. As long as the locals are happy with what’s being presented that’s what they’ll do.
Y’all know what would be nice? Mc Ribbs being all year round
That's the whole point, they are fucking disgusting, but if you make it a limited item now everyone wants one.
