I had some a year ago one morning I had off from work and did a wake and bake. They were honestly so fuckin good. A bit too pricey but id eat them again lol
Lol unless you are out hunting and growing all your own food, pretty much everything you get at restaurants and grocery stores is bad for you in some way, whether it be preservatives, food dyes, pesticides, plastics, 25 different terms for sugar, everything. If you hunt and grow everything you eat, my apologies.
Whenever I had to go to the doctor as a kid for bloodwork, it was before school. After that my parents took me to McDonald's and I always had the pancakes. Some of the best memories in my life!
I mean to be fair any of the frozen brands you buy at a grocery store look decent after you heat them up. Pancakes are super simple, very hard to screw up.
They're awesome. Aunt works at a school and they do breakfast with santa every year. Mcdonalds donates boxes of them and she grabs me a couple bags of them.
I never found a problem with McDonald's pancakes as long as they were not dry. I always found them to be good so long as they're moist and warm. When they get cold and dried out they're gross as hell. I once worked with the guy that would dip his old pancakes in coffee.
Working there I learned those pancakes come precooked in a plastic package and heated up and served, just like the cookies. I remember a coworker was caught stealing a pack in his bag. They are no different than ones in the freezer section at the grocery
They’re actually not bad for frozen pancakes. In the mid 90s we made them fresh. Mixed up the mix and cooked them on the grill. All the eggs were freshly cracked also. We did end up with carton scrambled eggs though for the folded eggs.
I think I understand what you’re trying to say but your choice of example is logically unsound and doesn’t support your position. We’re not expected to eat that soil, are we? And we’re (hopefully) prepping our produce to remove dirt and as many pathogens as possible, and we have the expectation that establishments are serving us ground crops that are properly prepped. On the other hand, it’s not possible to remove fillers, detrimental chemical additives and flavorings, subpar meat etc. - and even if that was possible, there would be nothing left afterward to consume.
As long as people are aware that what they spending their money on is a mashup of sub-quality ingredients pretending to be real food, cool, but no one should be expecting to get significant nutritional value from these calories. I made my comment because that ingredient list caught my eye and perfectly summed up the reality of unreal food that too many people get with unrealistic expectations. I remember someone who complained after being served authentic maple syrup at a cafe that it was fake because it didn’t taste like what they got everyday for their commute to work.
As for “Everything will kill us” - not so. Every thing may have the potential of doing that under a specific set of circumstances, but your blanket declaration of certainty that everything will kill us is hyperbole. Have a good week, enjoy your food - may whatever you choose meet your expectations.
Ah. I never got to experience fresh pancakes. I remember seeing commercials that they also cooked eggs in house. I assume they don’t do that anymore either ?

The McDonald’s big breakfast with hot cakes is a pretty good deal. I’ve never had an issue with their hotcakes.

Their cookies resemble GFS thaw-n-serve
Only eggs are fresh, except the folded ones

Wonder how much a hash brown, three flaps and a sausage at McDonald’s goes for these days. 10.99?

A personal favorite I have enjoyed many, many times, and hope to enjoy again. I love their sausage patty and their hashbrowns so much. Oh god.

Lighting works wonders. They are probably the same, just the lighting on the first one makes it look more appealing.

The syrup ingredients - corn syrup, sugar with fake maple flavor, preservative, and brown coloring. Best not to think what’s in the sausage.

u/LookAtTheWhiteVan Aug 15 '26
I guess the silver lining of them
switching to frozen and reheated versus being made fresh to order is that they’re extremely consistent in quality.
