    There is no expiration on those coupons for the free Big Macs and fries (yes I checked :embarassed: ) So you don't HAVE to eat them all at once, but it would be an awesome feat!
    Plus, you get a coupon booklet, so you can spread them out... deliciously.

    Just remember, your health and well-being is worth way more than a Big Mac (or however you mentioned eating). If you have a craving for fast-food, do something healthy like a sub restaraunt. Just saty away from fatty and calorie filled condiments, meats and cheese and opt for a veggie sub with a side of mustard. It works for me!
    Why? There's isn't anything wrong with having a Big Mac in moderation. I eat McDonald's twice a week. Bad health is more determined by being obese/overweight, genetic predisposition, bad habits (smoking) and being sedentary.

    Sometimes, my wellbeing is dependent on that Big Mac.

    All I can picture right now is Ronald McDonald in old school gangster gear with the old fashioned gangster gun shooting at you as you try to order the burgers. :tongue:

    You could put 2 in mine then. And I'll probably just retain water for a day or two, but that's it.

    I think we should stage a protest like PETA. How about we go to our local Mickey D's and throw lard at them. Or lard covered potatoes to represent the senseless violence of drowning those poor helpless potatoes in grease. It's time we all put our fat little foot down and stop this madness!
    Hrrpmph! They don't use "lard" anymore. You'd have to throw bottles of vegetable oil (non transfat)!!!

    may work for you,b ut I say everything in moderation. . if you want that big mac, make sure you work out :) I will reward myself with one fast food meal on the weekends whenI'm walking all day :) It's better than the 5-6 days a week, sometimes 2 times a week i was doing a year ago :)

    Only if the food could be PROVED to actually kill you.
    100% of people who eat McDonald's will end up dead.

    The average sub from a sub shop has WAY more sodium than a Big Mac. Just saying.

    Just don't rub the oil on your skin. I heard you can gain weight that way. Also you might find yourself at the bottom of a well or served with a nice Chianti. Careful! Safety first!

    No, I'm in serious trouble. When a fast food restaruant offers a deal, i have to eat all of it. This has haunted me for years. Like the one time Subway was offering a fabulous deal on 6 foot party subs. I was arrested for laying on the ground like a fat human/anaconda hybrid and trying to gulp it down with chewing. The church group witnessing this was not amused and called the police.

    Or another time when Pizza Hut offered this awesom deal for 10 large pizzas. At first I was like, "Man, can I eat 10 large pizza's, or should I share with friends and famil?" But then I realized that this is America, and sharing is what the socialists want, and that's not american, so I saluted the flag, started folding pizzas in half like a gigantic italian taco and went to town. I was half way through with the whole order and I was so stuffed I was ready to die. But I new since I bought the whole thing I had to eat it myself right then. So in a desperate attempt for more calories, I stripped naked and started rubbing pizzas all over my hairy body until I was glistening with Pizza Hut grease. The toppings came off and it looked like I had 16 pepperoni nipples. The manager freaked out and beat me with a pizza pan until i was unconscious.

    Do I think that these dang fast food places and their awesome deals is a pretty big frickin problem.

    That's genius! If everyone around you is fat, you don't have to work so hard. I like the way you think.

    Ugh... now if it was Quarter Chz's, then I'd give it a go, but that "special sauce" always causes concern for me! (I used to work there, I KNOW what goes on behind the grills!)
