TVFactFan 07-22-2007, 12:22 AM McDonald's??? I'm eating a burger and I was stting here realizing that I been doing that all my life and i think it's because I feel like pickles don't belong on a hamburger-lol wonder who idea that was to put them there
Zoneboy 07-22-2007, 12:45 AM I haven't had a burger in over 2 years but as far as I'm concerned, The more pickles the better but please no mayo or tomato.
*Pleasant Tomorrow* 07-22-2007, 12:50 AM haha I do that too...I just take them off and eat them seperate. Er, only I KNEW I was doing it lol.

Zoneboy 07-22-2007, 01:31 AM Remember that overplayed McDonalds Big Mac commercial from the 70's?
2 all-beef patties, special-sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. It's so funny to watch because back then they made it sound like it was the hardest thing in the world to say. :lol:

dawsongirl 07-22-2007, 03:33 AM I LOVE PICKLES.
I eat them on pizza, something people around me seem to find gross. :confused:
GARFIELDKOOL 07-22-2007, 10:54 AM One thing I noticed is that different fast food restaurants have different taste in their pickles. Burger King's pickles aren't as good as McDonalds. Pickles help make the buger. I feel tomatoes don't go on a burger, but that's just me. I love pickles, I could eat them alone.

Onions, pickles, or Tomatoes have no business being on a hambuger
catlover79 07-22-2007, 01:18 PM I hate onions anyway, so that's one reason I never eat McDonald's burgers. I do love Dairy Queen's burgers, however - they just put on the ketchup, mustard and pickles. I love pickles!! :D
Zoneboy 07-22-2007, 01:19 PM Onions, pickles, or Tomatoes have no business being on a hambuger
They've been put on burgers long before you were ever born. If you don't mind, Would you please tell us what does belong on one.
Zoneboy 07-22-2007, 01:23 PM I hate onions anyway, so that's one reason I never eat McDonald's burgers.
McDonalds makes their burgers ahead and keeps them under heat lamps but if you order one without onions, They will cook it fresh.

Why can't you just say "no pickles" on your hamburgers Sol? Can't you say those little words? Why eat a hamburger that has PICKLE JUICE on it? You think those pickles go on there DRY? :lol:
Also, McDonalds hamburgers have mustard and ketchup on them, did you eat it with that as well?
The only thing I hate on my hamburgers (any hamburger from anywhere or homemade) is CHEESE!!!!! That spoils the taste. All I taste is cheese. YUCK!
I love Cheese but not on my hamburgers. That is disgusting.
Give me lots of pickles, mayo, ketchup, mustard, raw onions (not cooked), some lettuce and tomato, and thousand island dressing.
Zoneboy 07-22-2007, 06:35 PM Thousand island dressing.
AKA special sauce. ;)

I always thought you had to take the burgers as it is since it's not that type of place.-lol
Ireneparalegal 07-22-2007, 07:13 PM I always thought you had to take the burgers as it is since it's not that type of place.-lol
So you DO EAT THE HAMBURGER WITH MUSTARD AND KETCHUP then right?
My daughter always orders hamburgers from McDonalds with mustard and lettuce only. Their hamburgers (the small ones) don't come with lettuce, but she orders them that way and they make it that way. Also, that will ensure her will get a freshly made hamburger too since she is only asking for mustard on there and they just add the lettuce. ;)
You can tell any McDonald's how you want your hamburger made. They will do it.
GARFIELDKOOL 07-22-2007, 07:16 PM I always thought you had to take the burgers as it is since it's not that type of place.-lol
You mean you didn't know you could go in any restaurant and tell them what you wanted and how you wanted it? How old ARE you?! I wish some fast food joint would tell me I had to take tomatoes on my burgers, it will be on, for sure. LOL

OMG. And it never dawned on you to ask? Hell, I just tell them what I want. It's like any restaurant you go to.:lol:
Why then do you eat a hamburger from McDonald's that has ketchup and mustard on it IF YOU HATE THAT ON YOUR BURGERS? I would think you would not go there to eat.

Dude, I usually always do that, too! When I'm at McDonald's, I take the pickes off my burger or cheeseburger, but I leave the pickles on if I have a big mac. When I'm at Burger King, I don't like pickles on burgers, cheeseburgers, or whoppers.
coffield3 07-22-2007, 09:43 PM Over here in england we call them pickles gerkins, i use to take them off when i was younger but i quite like them now. I prefer a chicken burger though with mayo and crunchy iceberg lettuce!! and a still fanta to wash it down with! ;)
dawsongirl 07-22-2007, 11:24 PM A hamburger without at least mustard and pickles is just a nasty piece of hamburger. Yuck.
Of course in the case of Mickey D's, it's not even hamburger...

Mickey D's does have awesome chicken sandwiches (Ranch BLT :heart:) and cheese burgers, though :) YUM! :drool:
I don't care for pickles on my hamburger either, I take them off too. I have tried ordering burgers with certain things left off and usually thats what they end up puting on them. I say leave off the onion & pickles and thats what they put on them and nothing else. lol!

Honey, I think you are in the minority regarding Mickey D's fries. I don't like BK's fries at all.
Ranch dressing is way too sour for me, but I LOOOOVE mayo (except on burgers!! :lol:). So when I get a Crispy Ranch BLT at the drive-thru, I take it home, wipe off the ranch and spread LOTS of mayo. :drool:

Mikado 07-23-2007, 05:40 PM Are you kidding? McDs pickles are amazing!!....they are the THINNEST pickles I ever saw, yet, they have 10 times more flavour than the fat ones the other burger places use! ( And probably 10 times the salt, knowing McDs )
Btw, I love pickles and olives on a hotdog!

What do you mean? There is not now, nor was there EVER a clown affiliated with McDonalds :rolleyes:
But, to be serious, its no doubt something that came out of McDs ad agency. In the late 90s/early 2000s McDs market share was falling dramatically, and, since teens and children are their main customers, they decided to start calling it Mickey Ds to make it seem more "urban" and "hiphop", to appeal to that target group.
( and repel anyone over 30 :lol: )

Zoneboy 07-24-2007, 12:16 AM I dont like pickles on my McDs burgers either, but I feel like Im being a diva asking for them to take it off.
They don't take the pickles off, As I stated earlier, McDonalds cooks their burgers ahead and puts them under heat lamps. If you ask for a burger without pickles, they will make it fresh. Also, You're the one paying for it so it should be prepared the way you want it. There's no rule that says you have to take it the way they fix it.
Mikado 07-24-2007, 12:28 AM That original version of Ronald McD ( reply # 61 ^^ ) had a milkshake cup for a nose, french fry hair and a carrying box for a hat.....about all he has in common with the later versions is the yellow and red colours of his suit...and get this, he was played by Willard Scott, best known as a morning show weatherman! :D

I hate pickles on hamburgers. Pickles to me are meant to be cold, not hot and rubbery :barf:
PZelda 07-24-2007, 07:20 PM - I like pickles and I like burgers. However, as far as I am concerned, pickles have ZERO business being on my burgers. Naaaaasty.
- I love pizza sauce, cheese and onions on my burger, period. If I'm somewhere, I ask for cheese and onions on my burgers... If I'm at home and making my own burgers, I add the pizza sauce (it's very delish!).
- McD's fries are AWESOME. I cannot stand BK's fries because they are so ****ing GRITTY. :barf: I think Arby's is the one that is just downright nasty. Their signature burger, the roast beef burger... *shudders* Yucky.

They don't go that high but I wish they did.

I think one bid is not enough to base on whether there is a value to it or not. I am sure there would be someone out there who would pay at least $40for it. $9.99 is dirt cheap. In time, it will be worth a lot more. But, if I had that doll, I would keep it forever! ;)

I never stated that one bid was enough to base it's value on just that it was all I got. I really have no idea what it's actual value is. My only regret now is that I sold the doll because I would've given it to you if I'd known you would've wanted it. :)
