Coffee was usually not bad back when I was drinking coffee.
"Quarter Cheese" was the order in my student days.
The local Mc is not easy to get to and there are better alternatives near it.

Good for them.
But McDonald's sucks. Plasticky food in inadequate buns with salty fries.
Vanilla milkshakes being the exception, slurp slurp.

I had my first taste of their food(I use the word loosely) in my late 20's and it has always been my least liked takeaway.
I usually try their 'special' burgers...
so Thursday evening having been out, we roll into the drivethru, to be told the heatwave means their shake machine ain't working(?) so I get a Big Arch.
Arrives looking a pale shadow of the photo and after a couple of bites turns to mushy cheesy bits ensuring my shirt, trousers and car all need a wash.
I just wanted a cold vanilla milkshake.

Thankfully MrsA usually prefers KFC. We get a boneless bucket, and I repeat my joke about the bucket coming in useful if the food makes us feel icky.
We don't go often. So many better options on which to spend your £20.
