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:

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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. :)
