Ruminations on crappy food

One time I got a red wrapper special. It was the greatest McDonalds moment of my life (not that this says much). Yes, in my younger days I did feast at McDonalds. One quarter pounder with cheese meal no onions please. But this one time they screwed something up. They forgot about my order somehow and then when they made it they made it wrong. I wasn’t upset, just hungry.
That’s when I heard the coolest thing. The overzealous, post high school, pimple ridden employee yelled with way too much vigor “I need a dime pound! Red wrapper special!”. And I kid you not, it came out in like ten seconds…and in a red wrapper. That’s why I love McDonalds…oh wait, no I don’t…but I do appreciate a good red wrapper special. I think that was the last time I ate at McDoodoos.

Mmmm, remember when they had 29cent hamburgers and 39cent cheeseburgers? Those were the bombiest (can I say bombiest? No? Sorry.) Oh, and speaking of cheap, any Hot ‘N Now fans out there? Holla

  1. I like McDonalds. Sometime you crave meat-flavored byproduct and a hamburger bun that's mostly polyester and belly button lint.Oh wait, I don't like McDonalds.Isn't it funny that you can get the crappiest crap on the planet but if you get it for surprisingly cheap or with a super-quickness, it seems wonderful?

  2. I really do hate McDonalds…but I am nearly always craving their tiny little hamburgers. Have you ever pulled apart one of them? The "meat" is seriously the size of a silver dollar. And yet it's the best tasting silver dollar I've ever had…and the only silver dollar I've ever had.

  3. flashback? Sure.when Scott and I were living over on 33rd (over by the former Brahim residence) we would scrounge up our change (cause we were broke)and go buy rediculous amounts of hamburgers with the intent to eat lunch the next day. But I just couldn't resist microwaved mcdonald's burger…. mmmm…. they're so much better reheated… they make me feel like that guy from the Archie comics…What I'm getting at, which is in no way reflected in that flashback, is that I like McDonalds until I eat there. Then I remember REAL quick why I hate it…

  4. hot n now . . . i totally forgot about hot n now!!the hot n now that used to be in my hometown of keizer is now the drive through dutch bros. nice transition, i'd say.

  5. I'm so old that I remember that McD's big advertising message was, "A hamburger, fries, and a Coke … and change back from your dollar." Where can you buy a heart attack for less than a buck these days? Huh?
