Where I am, you can get a Big Mac for $2... so this booklet for $13 means $3 for 5 orders of large fries... I don't quite get why it's a flaming hot deal on slickdeals front page. /shrug

Most places have the BigMac at around $2.89-$3.59 unless a promo.
Large fries are usually $1.89

A large fries is probably at least $2 in your area too. If you say it's less than $2 for a large, then I would say you are completely wrong and/or lying.

Therefore, 5 x $2 = $10. So $10 worth of fries for $3 is a pretty slick/hot deal. And chances are, a large fries is more than $2, and add tax to that, and you're looking at an even bigger saving.

I don't know what the fries are... I don't at McD's, I just know they had a sign outside that when I pass by I can see that they have a 24/7 deal on Big Macs for $2... A little more uptown they have it for $1.50 but that's a student discount.

In any case, I disregarded the fries since it's harder to justify the price whatever it may be. The selling point to me was just the Big Mac. The large fries at whatever the cost to me is not what made the deal... I'd call it hot if it were say 10 Big Macs for $13.

Not crapping on the deal, I wasn't aware my local McDs @ $2 is less than elsewhere me living in NYC and all.

Him: this morning
Him: had angioplasty
Me: whoa
Him: just got in a little while ago
Me: now what?
Him: well, now the artery is clear, stent is in place. Gonna stay overnight then be discharged
Me: then i should not buy the coupons for him?

The meat itself is sourced from factory farms, which house cortisol distressed nutritionally deficient meats pumped full of hormones with antibiotics to counterbalance the immune suppressing effects.
That sounds delicious. I'll have that with no pickles. Besides, I could always use some more testosterone and antibiotics. So what you are basically saying is a Big Mac is basically a cheaper, more delicious, steroid/antibiotic injection system. And if I get hurt while pumping weights after my roid burger it also has Cortisol to help aid in healing. It's the perfect super-food.


Then children are fed this slop during their most crucial developmental years.
Sounds like in 15 years or so we will have a country of totally awesome, super soldier children. Hooray McDonalds!

I try not to fast food much anymore, especially at places with questionable meat.

Questionable meat is delicious. I love pounding questionable meat in my mouth again and again. And with this coupon, I can put large amounts of it in cheap. So, in summary, for a few bucks, anyone can shove huge, questionable meat into their mouths.

I'm a gay prostitute so this is right up my alley. Speaking of alley's, I work in back alleys sticking huge, questionable meat in my mouth on the cheap.

Twenty years ago, McDonalds actually used to be closer to real food -- back when food engineering was more about improving quality. Now food engineering is about taking substandard ingredients and making them palatable.

Yea, only deal is with coupons and on specific days of the week otherwise they are regular price ~$2.00 This is a good coupon if you eat McD, which I do sometimes with the nephews. I went ahead and got the deal though as they'll be wanting some soon enough.

Haven't been email the voucher though, any did?

Burgers, good ones at least, are NOT healthy. OTOH a good burger is a fair temporary panacea for the misery of the world.

I had a 50/50 lunch today, McD Filet o Fish and a bowl of brown rice, veggies and skinless chicken. Pretty sure I could manage eating 5 big macs and passing the frys on to somebody else.

WRONG. The stuff McDonald's made in 1991 was pretty crappy. How do I know? I remember eating that stuff. The lettuce was the same shredded lifeless stuff. The patties were dry, small. The mayo had this weird artificial consistency to it. The pickles were mushy. The chopped onion bits would be right at home in baby food. Close to "real food". Hardly.

I said it was "closer" to real food or 'whole food.'

McDonalds used to order ground beef from local suppliers and had a pattie press in each store. They also used to create their fries on the spot, with nothing but real potatoes, a slicer, and a deep fryer. Now they are engineered and mass-produced in a factory, shipped to the local chain and then reheated.

Most people call mechanically separated chicken parts (other than meat) extruded with ammonia 'inedible,' McDonalds calls them 'chicken mcnuggets'. Many foods on today's McDonalds menu use substandard main ingredients re-engineered to make them more compatible with the human body.
