    That's a good point!

    I guess it's to keep them safe - people who try to sue McD's for making them fat is stupid. If prices are lowered, they buy more.

    One wise person said make the doors thinner, then those who over ate there can't go in LMAO :p

    I suppose the drive in will be busier then if they took up the reduce width idea.In any case aren't they focusing on the low fat products?...yeah ,where all the fat goes to the bottom :p :eek:

    if you travel on public transport in the mornings have a look around you .. sometimes they in the papers and people just chuck them.. They were with the metro last time and you got them on london underground or buses last time..

    Well they can't openly promote Super size portions anymore, it's frowned upon don't you know :rotfl:

    I guess if they have these vouchers to reduce the food, people will buy more or it encourages you to go back for cheap food. I must confess I had a McD's breakfast yesterday as hungover beyond belief. The place was empty and I could see a massive sign above the fryer reminding staff not to overfill the fries. So with the number of vouchers being used, they're now skimping on the portions.

    Things haven't been going too well for the McD corporation since Supersize Me and the McLibel PR disaster. They need to encourage people back in. Making stuff cheap is the way to do it.
    :idea:I got an idea, an idea so smart my head would explode if I even began to know what I was talking about:idea:

    they don't sell supersize anymore.

    i saw these vouchers on ebay, they're not as good as the last lot though, now it's a free coffee when you buy a bagel - the bagel is £1.79, nice though. i eat breakfast there sometimes but i don't like the main menu. for anyone who does there's a BOGOF medium meal voucher in there, i think the last lot of booklets had 3 of them in though and this only has 1.
    52% tight
  • These vouchers are no better than the last, in fact I would say they are slightly poorer, they boast 23 pounds worth of savings. You get more/less the same vouchers as last time except with more salads and stuff in them, all the usuals are there such as BOGOF on Big Macs, McChicken Sandwiches, Extra Value Meals and theres now 6 chicken McNuggets for 99p!

    You should get these delivered through your door by Royal Mail sometime next week!

    these voucher booklets are great to make you look like a fab parent.. offer to take daughter out and invite a friend.. daughter thinks your great so does friend and its all the cost of the one meal you would have bought your daughter anyway.. and use the free drink ones whilst you wait...

    £23 saved it may be......but you'll add some to that waistline.

    Save a pound....gain a pound.

    can gain a pound eating at home .. if we listened to the experts and did what they said. we should all be nuns or monks or worse dead.. If you want to have a treat at mcdonalds then the offers make it worthwhile but no one has to eat there or anywere.. Its a matter of choice
