    Perhaps this is the beginning of many offers to come.

    I dont know who else see it on the news last night but McDonalds is closing 25 or 28 (cant remember) outlets across the country. Apparently a survey done a few years ago, asked teenagers what their favourite food was and 8% said McDonalds but recently the same survey found only 1% favouring McDonalds. There was an interview with a young girl holding a tray with a meal on it and her comments were how hard the chips are and hard to swallow, also the amount of fat etc.

    I have to say i think its very good that the young generation are becoming more aware of what they are eating.

    Im sure there are some of us though (yes im guilty too) if we see a sign and we can feed one for free then we go for it!!
  • i dont call it food. what little i have had from them has been like warmed up plastic. yuk.

    Hi,

    With the last BOGOF McD's deal several months back, I think you were allowed to get BOGOF filet of fish or quorn premiere on any day of the promotion, and as far as I know this promo is similar, so hopefully you haven't been "seen off"?

    someone please correct me if i'm mistaken

    regards
    YO!

    Speak for yourself! :rotfl:
    If you're going alone you wouldn't want to eat a Big Mac as well as the Big Mac meal (I could easily manage it, but it wouldn't be much good for me).
    Do not speak- unless it improves on silence.

    They do carrots ;)
  • I don't think its much of an offer TBH. If you're going alone you wouldn't want to eat a Big Mac as well as the Big Mac meal (I could easily manage it, but it wouldn't be much good for me).

    And if you're going with a friend, they're hardly gonna want a burger while you dine on a meal.

    I'm not getting at the original poster btw, just McDonalds.


    No, it's buy a Big Mac, get one free not the meal


    As for veggies, you should eat Cauliflower cheese

    I'm pretty sure you're correct on that one.
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    Speaking as a long served, recently ex-salaried manager for the aforementioned quick service establishment; they will always allow a non-meat alternative if you ask. Vouchers are always valid anytime that food is served (i.e. main menu/breakfast), unless they state otherwise - they obviously couldn't be bothered to serve lots of extra food late on! (After about nine o'clock, most staff are just focussed on getting away ASAP and get outraged when customers come in late, lol). I'm not sure which offer they are running at the minute exactly, but you can usually buy a meal OR an individual burger and get the freebie anyway. As for whether it's any good for you.... well, if you're planning on eating multiple burgers in there on a regular basis, it's unlikely you're some kind of Olympic athlete...

    uh huh, so fish is a vegetable now?
    The word is BOUGHT, not BROUGHT.
    It's LOSE, NOT LOOSE.
    You ask for ADVICE not ADVISE.
