I don't think people should be encouraged to eat more fast food. robyrob 03-03-2004, 08:29 AM they'll just change the names - a supersize will become the large, the large will becom the medium, the medium will become a small, and they will drop the current small, because its only a measly, what 20oz ? :cuss: EricIdlefan 03-03-2004, 09:35 AM The only fast food is with Krystal's Bergers I just don't like McDonalds because their burgers are way too greasy!! I am Him 03-03-2004, 09:57 AM I don't like McDonalds because they serve you food that's been sitting in a bin for 10 minutes. I want my food made Fresh.

I ordered a medium Coke there once some years ago (at McD's, a medium is 12oz) and I got a HUUUUUUGE cup...I'm afraid to order a large one now! :eek: I think I'll just stop going to fast food places altogether if they ever do that.

Kazza 03-03-2004, 01:42 PM I think it's good; that way they don't get blamed for all the overweight people that are suing them for NO REASON~ except in Dairy Queen like someone said in an earlier post you order a medium coke and they give you this huge cup:eek: You order a Texas size one and it's like a 44oz:rolleyes: PZelda 03-03-2004, 03:27 PM Originally posted by I'maDESIlover I think it's good; that way they don't get blamed for all the overweight people that are suing them for NO REASON~ except in Dairy Queen like someone said in an earlier post you order a medium coke and they give you this huge cup:eek: You order a Texas size one and it's like a 44oz:rolleyes: That would be moi...Uggg. Now I only VERY occasionally drink bottled sodas...I prefer to buy by the can...that's more than enough for me. FrithFan89 03-03-2004, 05:11 PM i dont eat at mcdonalds. i'm a vegitarian *Pleasant Tomorrow* 03-03-2004, 05:29 PM I think it's a good idea. The reason so many people go to fast food restaurants is because they're, well, fast...and usually there's not enough time in our schedules. Usually the only fast food they can get is junk like that, so putting better foods on their menu is definately the right choice. OMG, I just sounded really smart...:rotflmao: robyrob 03-03-2004, 09:49 PM i'm waiting for McDonalds to come out with the Drive-thru Food Bazooka - you just pull around to the nozzle, open wide and....BOOOM!!!! BigMaclargefriescokeandapplepie in one special delivery package :D Lady T 03-03-2004, 09:52 PM I am kinda of glad that McDonalds is getting rid the of "Supersize" I could never eat that many fries and drink that much soda to begin with.... EricIdlefan 03-03-2004, 09:52 PM I tried to become a vegetarian but failed only after one day!! But I was 16 at the time!! Can't live without meat at all!! FamilyTiesGOP 03-03-2004, 09:53 PM I cannot stand fast food. I cannot remember the last time I ate dinner at a burger fast food restaurant. I like Arby's--they don't serve burgers, instead they serve other sandwiches and roast beef sandwiches. Much better.

I could never be a vegetarian...first I cannot stand vegetables and live without a steak once in a while..No Thanks:lol: EricIdlefan 03-03-2004, 10:04 PM I love my steak well-done BTW and can't live without roast!!

There food is really good. They also bring it fresh to the door. The staff is always so nice and clean. I've never been dipleased except once. That one time I was unhappy I got a $10.00 gift certificate. :) I love our Domino's. offtopic: personally I think lately Mc Donald's has been :barf: :barf: I used to really like it. I think Supersizing it was a good idea when there food was good. Now since it has gone down hill (alot of them) it's a good idea for them to stop. Also due to Heart Attacks being a huge cause of death I don't think they need to increase foods that are more likely to increase your chances of getting heavier. Tuesday Weld 03-03-2004, 10:39 PM I don't care, because I don't eat fast food, anyway. :D PZelda 03-03-2004, 11:03 PM Originally posted by julian bozo ONE key wordDOMINO'S DOMINO'S,DOMINO'S,DOMINO'S,DOMINO'S,DOMINO'S DOMINO'S,DOMINO'S,DOMINO'S,DOMINO'S,DOMINO'S I personally love our Domino's.

The Domino's here in my town rocks, too. Their place is really clean - been there before - and when we order out, they always bring the pizza fresh to the door. Once (I think this was in December), they accidentally sent the wrong order to our house, so they phoned us to tell us that they had sent the delivery guy with the wrong order to our house and to tell him that he'd gotten the wrong one, and that our correct order would be arriving shortly...We tipped the 1st guy big-time, because of what he had to go through, and the 2nd guy came to our house with the correct pizza, along with a coupon for free pizza. Talk about great service! :) I remember when a burger cost 99 cents...that was in the late 80's. Now they're expensive. :p Nanny Fine 03-03-2004, 11:23 PM Originally posted by Miss Vicki I remember when a burger cost 99 cents...that was in the late 80's.

They'd run them in a 4 week cycle and then not have them again for a long time. My daughter doens't believe me...she thinks the Happy Meals are something that just happened to always be there!

I remember the endless Happy Meal ads when I was REALLY little, where the little kids would get their Happy Meals in those awesome cardboard boxes with the arches as the handles...I always thought to myself, "Why don't they ever give me one of those boxes every time I get a Happy Meal?"

Well I was little like....26 years ago so it's been a while that this has been that way :) Bang A Gong 03-04-2004, 12:01 AM Good idea. McDonalds is nasty. Their food is greasy and disgusting. You don't need to be eating huge amounts of it. EricIdlefan 03-04-2004, 01:47 PM Originally posted by Sourbabie Good idea. McDonalds is nasty. Their food is greasy and disgusting. You don't need to be eating huge amounts of it. McDoanlds and Kentucky Fried Chicken are my very, very, least favorite fast food places because so greasy and disgusting!! dlemond 03-04-2004, 01:58 PM Originally posted by TJL Good idea. I don't think people should be encouraged to eat more fast food. I agree, the only good thing Supersized fries were good for was sharing- say instead of buying 2 mediums. And no one should ever drink that much soda. I wonder if they checked with Mayor McCheese before making this decision. AllIWantIsYourClutch 03-04-2004, 02:07 PM Personally, I think it's stupid. No one is forcing you to get your food super sized. tanquant 03-04-2004, 02:54 PM Originally posted by TradingMooses Personally, I think it's stupid. No one is forcing you to get your food super sized. That's the way that I feel too :) If you feel that you need to lose some weight then why not get a salad or go elsewhere. The supersize was way to big for me I always got a regular. When I used to work there, there was this very overweight man that would come there everyday and get a double quarter pounder supersized and order for his family. They would spend ike $30.00 a day for lunch! :eek: JoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJo 03-04-2004, 05:52 PM who in their right mind would complain about getting your money's worth? If i order a med. and get a huge cup, then super yay, it was worth my dollar. Dean Winchester 03-04-2004, 07:12 PM "I want 3 bacon double-cheeseburgers, extra ketchup, extra-large fries... and a diet coke" Lynn 03-04-2004, 08:13 PM I don't really care, as I never order supersize anyway. But I hope they change the chicken nugget value meal back to a smaller size. I used to get the value meal that came with 6 nuggets, medium drink and fries. Then they recently changed the value meal so you had to get 10 nuggets and I can never eat that much. So I would order a 6 piece, small fries and medium drink separately and it was MORE expensive. It's like they're forcing you to pay more to eat less. That's just not right! Georgia's on my Mind 03-04-2004, 08:22 PM omg, i know. because we have to control people who cant say no to a large shovel full of fast food.

Dean Winchester 03-04-2004, 08:57 PM well, taking away super-size meals actually has more hidden agendas than what you're thinking. A lot of people with bigger stomachs are not going to be full when eating a "normal" meal, so a few hours later, they will come back and order ANOTHER meal. Whereas they could just add 39 cents for larger fries. Why do people complain about the size of food? If I am gonna eat, I wanna get my money's worth. Haven't you seen lots of spoofs of uptight expensive resteraunts that serve something so small you need a microscope to look at it? Supersizing a meal isn't the problem, all taking the supersize away will do is make the person order ANOTHER hamburger or order of fries. And if that's what makes them happy, so be it. People treat the overweight like they're lepers, and it's disgusting. Being 10 lbs overweight is different than LIVING in a buffet table Brian 03-04-2004, 08:59 PM The only things I have from McDonalds anymore are their milkshakes and their McFlurry's. I used to love this place as a kid but my tastes have changed since then. Jenya 03-04-2004, 09:14 PM Originally posted by BrooklynGuy78 But now, I'm going to miss the super size food. No you won't. You can always go to the movie theater and order yourself a tub of popcorn and a bucket of pop. :) I am Him 03-04-2004, 09:32 PM Originally posted by BuffySlayer79 well, taking away super-size meals actually has more hidden agendas than what you're thinking. A lot of people with bigger stomachs are not going to be full when eating a "normal" meal, so a few hours later, they will come back and order ANOTHER meal. They don't need to be full. All they need is enough food to function. Originally posted by BuffySlayer79 Whereas they could just add 39 cents for larger fries.. What difference is a few extra fries in the box going to make? Originally posted by BuffySlayer79 Haven't you seen lots of spoofs of uptight expensive resteraunts that serve something so small you need a microscope to look at it?. Not in the United States. US resturants are notorious for giving customers way more than they can eat unless of course they are morbidly obese.

Eventually they are just going to start giving customers a 2 Liter soda bottle with their meal. Lynn 03-05-2004, 05:18 PM Originally posted by JoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJo order a happy meal Yeah, I sometimes do that if I'm going to eat it in the store and can refill the drink. Otherwise, the kiddie drink isn't quite enough. Plus sometimes I want medium fries. I still think it's wrong that 6 nuggets, medium fries and medium drink is more expensive than 10 nuggets, supersize fries and supersize drink! PZelda 03-05-2004, 05:32 PM Originally posted by I am Him Eventually they are just going to start giving customers a 2 Liter soda bottle with their meal. LOL...where are they going to keep all that soda?? I am Him 03-05-2004, 05:33 PM Originally posted by Lynn I still think it's wrong that 6 nuggets, medium fries and medium drink is more expensive than 10 nuggets, supersize fries and supersize drink! At BurgerKing there was a time when you could get a Whopper for half the price of a Whopper Junior. Not only that, but the Whopper was only 10cent more than the regular hamburger. PZelda 03-05-2004, 05:35 PM Originally posted by Jenya No you won't. You can always go to the movie theater and order yourself a tub of popcorn and a bucket of pop. :) :lol: one of my aunts likes to call the biggest cup of soda that you can get at the theaters, "The Bed-Wetting Special" because it's so damned big. :eek: :lol: (can you tell I have a family with a crazy sense of humor?) Dean Winchester 03-05-2004, 06:11 PM Originally posted by I am Him What difference is a few extra fries in the box going to make? I personally liked the SuperSize fries. It saved the family from having to buy seperate orders of fries. My parents and I used to share the fries, there was enough in the SuperSize thing to feed the family. The 39 cents extra is a much better deal than buying multiple orders of fries. Plus, I drink diet soda, so an extra-large Diet Coke isn't going to hurt me. If you're going to pay more for a small soda than the price of a 2-liter, you should have a lot of drink to go around. McDonalds food is way too greasy period. I don't like fast food and try not to eat it, except for Subway. But people who are going to eat at McDonalds are not exactly health-conscious.
