    Just try to think about how angry you are at McDonald's for replacing the ever so delicious Chipotle McBistro grilled chicken sandwich with the not very tasty CBO. I hate when restaurants get rid of my favourite thing. And sheesh, the number of restaurants that have deleted reubens is the WORST.

    I went through the drive through and got my husband two double cheeseburgers and cheese sticks. I didn't get anything for myself. At home he left the cheese sticks on the counter and I ate one. After fiding out it didn't taste nearly as good as I thought, it made me never want to eat it again! I beat myself up about it but I said "hey it was only a cheese stick and not 2 burgers, fries, and a soda!" After that I just don't crave it anymore! Lesson learned! From having no sugar and limited carbs my taste buds have changed dramatically! Just keep healthy stuff ready and in reach!

    Cheese sticks?! At McDonald's?! I need to move.

    This was my thought too.

    +1 What are these magical McDonald's cheese sticks of which you speak?

    I can't remember the last year I had that was not McD free. If offered I'd say 'No, thanks.' If pressed, I'd say 'Seriously, no, that stuff is crap.'.

    I have not had a big mac in years. Close to a decade I think. I used to get them all the time. They are so good.

    Lol! I know. When I saw them my mouth was watering! Believe me though they still don't taste very good. I'd rather have some ballpark cheese sticks! Okay I'll stop, hehe.

    Agreed- I can't remember the last time I had one...or even the last time I had McDonalds

    I only ever go there for ice cream, and I don't even remember when I last had a meal there.
    I used to visit Hesburger (similar to McDonalds) quite often, that was until I found out that the meal I used to have (chicken burger) was over 1000 calories!! I was quite shocked to say the least. I used to have the meal once or twice a week maybe, but now I had one about a month ago and it didn't even taste as good as it used to, so I'm rather glad I got over that habit.

    Hamburger should not be grey after cooking. I rarely order a burger when eating out, let a lone from McD's. The only thing that I have ordered from McD's in the past 3 years has been a cola or ice creame cone.

    It is funny how when you go back and try something ages later, it just doesn't taste good anymore or like you remember it. I bet if you tried something from there now, it wouldn't live up to the memory.

    I don't like McDonald's so it's easy! I've had McDonald's twice in the past 10 years I think, both times when I was pregnant. I think I had a chicken wrap.

    Just say no, or take in something from home. It'll probably be a lot nicer.

    I'm a teacher and I've never seen anyone eat McDonald's in school. Then again, we get half hour for lunch, barely enough time to go for a wee and boil the kettle for a coffee! Maybe things are different in England....

    I haven't eaten McDonalds food-food (Ice cream cone mmm) in years. Well...I think last year my Love brought me home some chicken nuggets (my favorite food in the whooollee wide world!) from there. But as far as fries, burgers, sandwiches, sides...etc go. Nadda.

    Nobody has ever tried to give me free McDonald's. I need a new job.

    Seriously! No one even offers to pick up McDonald's for me, and it's too far to walk there and make it back to work in half hour (I can't drive).

    I find it easier to eat something reasonable (calorie-wise, anyway) at McDonald's than most of the sit-down restaurants.

  • Wow I can't remember last time I gad McDonalds !!!
    I am a chocoholic lol and a salt snack lol.

    It's weird how we all have our own specific cravings. I can't remember the last time I was at a McDonald's, and not out of any specific sort of willpower; it just never occurs to me to go.

    This is so true. I've stopped trying things I remember fondly from my youth that I haven't had in years. Too many many memories destroyed.

    The only reason I go to McDonalds is for my pre and post workout coffee.

    I can't even eat at McDonald's. Only thing I get is their coffee because it's only a buck.

    I get a happy meal once in a great while. The portions are small and I get a cool toy to play with.

    Yep...I'm that shallow some days. :p

    Yuck. I haven't eaten at McDonald's in years. If you want to go for it, just make sure it fits into your goals, that's what matters in the end.

    When we take a road trip up to our cabin, the only feasible option along the way is McDonald's at a certain point (because they are nearly everywhere! ) I discovered I can order the $1.29 side salad with a separate grilled chicken breast for $1.59..... Add in the low~ fat balsamic dressing and I get a satisfying meal for 185 cal, 2g Fat, 7g Carb, 24g Protein....... All for a cost well half of their regular specialty salads :)

    HAHAHA.... Actually they test market different products in different regions. I think I saw the mozzarella cheese sticks at a McDonald's on a trip last summer in the N.Y./ New Jersey area ?

    Don't eat! It's disgusting! One of the main reasons I stopped eating there. They took something great that I ate at bars into something that tasted like cardboard with sharty cheese.
