    I tried to post this under success stories because the guy really has lost a LOT of weight, but when it didn't post there I took it as a sign that this story is really more about the food.

    When I go to McDonald's I always ask them for 10 packets of ketchup. I tell them I'm OCD and it has to be 10, exactly 10, no more no less (and I'll throw a twitch in every now and then)... The truth is when I ask them for ketchup they give me two packs. I once even asked for "a *kitten* ton" and I got a whopping 3 packs.

    From now on I'm going to tell them I need 10 for weight loss purposes. Thanks for the new excuse!

    I don't even know why we have to specify. When we say we want "extra pickles", or "extra extra ranch", or "more yellow chile's on the side", I don't know why this does not imply "AS MANY AS YOU CAN FILL A SMALL FRENCH FRIES BAG WITH" or "JUST A WHOLE MESS OF THAT PLEASE".

    Will never understand the condiment stingies. Never. It's the free stuff right?

    Try the OCD thing, it's much easier. They even look sad when you just keep repeating 10, exactly 10. 10 packets, 10 exactly 10....

    I go to McDonalds are tell them that when I say I want extra pickles, I mean I want all the pickles that are left spare when all the other people say they don't want pickles. I've been known to receive a cheeseburger in one of those BicMac cardboard rings, to hold the inch thick layer of pickles in.

    I like his story. Clearly eating whatever you want in moderation along with exercise works.

    I was 70 lbs over weight after having my son 13 years ago. I was never overweight and had no clue what to do when it came to weight loss back then. I decided to just count calories. You know the whole eat 1200 a day thing. Well I went online and looked up all the nutrition facts for my fave restaurants. I printed out the nutrition facts of all the low cal options, cut them and pasted them in a notebook. Every time I went to eat out, I made sure it was in my notebook. I stuck to my calories, worked out and after 4 years lost 70 lbs. It took me along time to get it right.

    It is nothing new. Calories in vs calories out.

    It may be that the employees have been told to only give X number of whatever in an effort to keep costs down. When I worked at Subway we could give as much lettuce or onion as the customer wanted, but olives, which cost more, there was a limit after which we had to charge.

    It's free to you, the restaurant has to pay for it.

    If only those pickles weren't marinated in the tears of homosexuals banned from marrying the loves of their lives.

    Seriously, I think Chick-fil-A is greasy and gross and their politics got a little too public and wrong for my taste. Plus, they aren't even good pickles.

    Because they're Chick-fil-A pickles. I don't get all PC over McDonald's pickles, but I still won't eat them since they're gross.

    Wendy's has good pickles.

    Politics aside, I love Chick-fil-a. There is one right down the street from where I live, on my way to work, and I eat their Cobb salads and chicken strips all the time. They have been instrumental in helping me lose weight. I have also earned many free sandwiches, but I always get them without pickles. Gross.

    I hear ya Snuggles. I have never been to a chic fil a and I never will. My usual McDonalds has a do it yourself ketchup dispenser. A big handle pumper thing and you can pump it right on your fries or into a little cup. Awesomesause. Alatarial you can have my pickles.

    See, I think McDonald's is absolutely disgusting. I won't eat there anymore. The last time I did, I got violently ill. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

    Actually, it's a sad PR stunt by Chick-Fil-A as they try to reinvent themselves to regain some of their lost market share, thanks to *obviously* unhealthy food products and blatant bigotry. So. It IS kinda political. That's the whole point of the article's existence.

    I'll always take your pickles! Costco has a gherkin relish pump for their hot dogs. I have to resist sticking my head under it. There are no Chik-fil-A here, but it was one place I avoided when I was in the states last year, there's so much choice as to where my dollars go so I avoid giving them to corporations whose views clash so wildly with my own.

    It is? I thought it was some kind of website traffic driving thing like most companies have on their websites where they make an interactive thing for people to participate in. I thought that was a real guy who feels like he lost weight using their foods.

    Thanks, I'm planning a trip to costco, for some reason I hate relish but this gherkin pump sounds like I'd like it b/c in general gerkhins to me taste a lot like regular pickles.

    i can't beleive someone wrote that about homosexual tears and pickles. I hadn't read back thru yet, and some people on here are, well, i'm not sure what the word is...poetic? fervent? I'm not sure but that's an image in my mind now regarding pickles, so ...yeah.

    That's the problem, how can you even know if they're talking about metric slices or imperial slices? It could totally throw you off.

    to further complicate matters they had ridges like ruffles. they were like wavy cut. while thick. this made me go back and forth on whether they were ten pickles or five. i may need to just get all my dietary pickles at chickfila from now on.
