MCDONALDS SHOULD BE BANNED and replaced with like rainforest cafe. Veggie based entrees at a reasonable price all good for you
Rainforest cafe is SO expensive. And not that good.
^^^^This...If it wasn't for the animated alligators and snakes enticing my kid, I'd leave that place alone forever...LOL0 -
I go mcdonalds maybe once a year for a cheeseburger. It's just my old favorite. ...It's really more like every two years.
To jdressel: There is a monopoly documentary on netflix that mostly covers the world tournament (who knew!), and a lady who won a million dollars from mcdonalds monopoly was also featured.

Just order the oatmeal! You get 2 little game pieces with it. 0

I don't mean to argue with "you" - but since you reminded me...
I don't get the Rainforest Cafe. I mean, I love it as much as the next person - animals, yay!! But I can't help but be smacked with the irony of an environmental-themed restaurant with as much over-the-top stuff as that. Nothing says "environmentalism" like a gigantic plastic tree and an electric waterfall. Oh, and animated alligators. 0 -
I am hooked on the McDonalds Large Sugar Free Iced Vanilla Coffee...and I still drink it every morning and YES it comes with the game pieces...and I have won Coke Reward points, Red Box movie rentals and even a $10 gift card...so yes they do have more prizes than just food...once in a while I might have an Egg McMuffin...I think this is ok compared to 3 months ago I was eating out there for breakfast and lunch 2 or 3 times a week....I used to be hooked on the Sweet Tea but then switch to the coffee....

I like Mc Ds, they have the calorie counts now on most of their food, and sometimes I will go through the drive through. I also like their fries. They also have healthy choices. And good prices.0

I haven't done the McDonald's Monopoly game is years...but I know what you mean. I used to love playing it, even if I didn't want the food. You could always just get a drink or something? Unless they don't put the pieces on there, I don't remember the rules.
Anyway, McDonald's isn't the type of fast food that temps me...but if In N Out did a game like this, I'd be in trouble.0 -
Good jo to saying no!
When I read the title my first thought was "You eat McDonalds? Gross!" you can do it. Stay strong. It isn't real food! 0 -
I haven't had McDonald's in years (well, I do get the very rare ice cream cone for nostalgia but that is as far as it goes.) The stuff they put in their products makes me so mad!
Anyway, IMO, if you want a game, go download Steam and play free games or get into some real gaming. Tap into that inner geek who loves games..but do it the right way. :P0 -

The best thing about Macky D's, is that if you are out and desperate for the bathroom/toilet you can always pop in quickly and be on your merry way again in no time. :-)0

It always happens: McDonald's starts advertising the Monopoly game and I hit the drive through like a sucker.
There's something about peeling off those little game pieces...I could win a car, but always end up with fatty fries and sugary smoothies.
This time around, I am saying NO to Ronald and Rich Uncle Pennybags! Who's with me?
- Eat a healthy meal you prepared yourself.
- Use the savings to buy a lottery ticket.
End result:
- You are healthier.
- You have not supported McDonald's.
- You have lost an infinitesimally small chance of winning a car, and gained a statistically equivalent chance of winning enough money to buy your own island.0 -

It's super fun for kids though! My grandma took me there when I was little and I adored it! The sound effects and giant fish tanks were my favourite!0 -

Can't help it. I
me some McD's. I've lost 54 pounds eating there 5 days a week for breakfast. Fruit & maple oatmeal and a Sugar Free Vanilla Iced coffee. 410 calories and 4 Monopoly game pieces. :happy:
Lol! Thats what I get!0 -
Haha, it's funny, people I know that don't even really like or eat McDonald's were saying, "God, the Monopoly game always makes me want to go."
It could be our generation (since I'm younger), but I remember being a kid and collecting the pieces. And I still stand by, if you're going to do fast food, it might as well be McDonalds since you can skirt out of there under 500 calories with a satiation for a McDonald's craving.
As for the Rainforest Cafe comment, I can only assume that's a troll. The calorie content is atrocious on almost every item and the expense is ridiculous. Maybe we should just ban chain restaurants who generally reheat/refry/rebake things that were frozen... just like fast food, huh?

Take a look at the new McD's Monopoly advert.
Not an overweight person in sight.
Truth in advertising right?
BOO indeed.0 -

News flash. You can eat at mcdonalds without being fat0 -
Say No to McD's? I say NO to You! Nobody gets between me and my McDonalds. Ate there yesterday, eating there today. It's already logged. Probably eating there tomorrow too.
But thanks for the head up. I haven't peeled a single sticker of my gigantic plastic drink cups. I could have missed out on free fries and apple pies! I'll be sure to look today0 -

We are talking about the same Rainforest Cafe, right? The horribly overpriced chain with the screaming plastic animals and simulated rainstorms and the typical children's menu of reconstituted chicken nuggets, hot dogs, or an American cheese sandwich on white bread? The one with the "Made in China" gift shop on the way out with the obligatory grab items that kids scream for next to the register?
Yeah, we should totally ban McDonald's in favor of that. Because that's just what I want - a meal that is just as unhealthy with even fewer healthy choices for 5 times the price, plus the constant battle over buying toys while waiting to pay my bill. That's exactly how I want to eat healthier. </sarcasm>0 -
... or remember when they had the mini-beanie babies in the happy meals? I went there DAILY to try and get a specifi one for my nieces and nehpews... that was "pre-kids" when I could eat what I want with no regard for what I'd look like in 5 years!
LOL -- what reels us in! I haven't had McDonalds in a long time....thank heavens!0 -

It irks me that they fill the ads with healthy looking people.
I guess my point wasn't clear, or you just want to argue...0 -
My thoughts exactly...and I never noticed that the food was supremely healthy...
How is it that Rainforest Cafe has reasonable prices? Are we going to the same place?MCDONALDS SHOULD BE BANNED and replaced with like rainforest cafe. Veggie based entrees at a reasonable price all good for you0 -

Go through anyway and mail me your sugary smoothie tickets.0 -

I'm looking at the McDonalds nutrition pdf right now. Except for some plain lettuce with no dressing, where are the healthy choices? I'm not seeing them. Even the oatmeal has 19 grams of sugar.0 -

Yeah, see! That's what confuses me. Thanks for posting.
If there's no purchase necessary - why do only some items have the game pieces, and why do they ration them out by what you order? I mean, I know the "marketing" reason why, but it doesn't make sense.
If I didn't have a bunch of other things to do (like if I was my 16 year old self), I would just spend an hour a day going through the line, asking for pieces, and going back through...0
