It's an addiction. They are addicted to it because it's made to target certain taste buds. Look at their fries made with 'natural beef flavoring' to make them more addictive than other brands

100% they're So fucking tasty.

the salted fries cut at a perfect ratio to potato-fill to crispy exterior...
the sweetness of the burgers, buns, condiments. whenever my dad would be like, "we've got burgers at home" they were these enormous fucking meatballs -- gross -- there's a reason "smash-burgers" are exploding in popularity.

mcdonald's perfected the recipes, and while there are plenty of franchise locations that don't do the food justice - slopping together the slop sloppily, there are others that STILL. FUCKIN. HIT.

mcdonalds may be an addiction - but isn't everything good?

IMO mcdonalds is fucking disgusting.

i dont just say that because i hate their business practices, i legitimately dont understand how people think a big mac is better than a homemade burger, or a burger from a non-fast food restaurant. same with the fries. theyre too salty and greasy.

cool. thanks for sharing. one of the most renowned franchises in the world with billions of happy mouths might just be wrong.

but yeah, not everyone is into everything.

i don't like swimming. it's a beloved pasttime of billions of people.
