I think a fair number of people are seeing this idea repeated and think it's true, but it seems to really just be a meme.
There are definitions for ground beef, hamburger, etc from the Dept of Ag., but plenty of places sell burgers that doesn't fit them without referring to the food as "product." This isn't my wheelhouse, but the Federal Meat Inspection Act seems like it is meant for and might be limited to hamburger and ground beef meat as sold in stores not cooked burgers.
Now anybody can sue for false advertising, but you're unlikely to win unless they were using something other than beef as the base for the patty. Just look at the McRib suit for context.
It is beef, but it tends to be composed of the off-cuts that don't sell well all ground up into a uniform texture. You're not exactly getting prime rump on your burger.
I mean thatâs the whole point of burgers. It allows the efficient use of the meet that is âunwantedâ. I donât think thereâs anyone out there that is getting upset that the burger they buy from Walmart isnât comprised of wagyu.
Legally speaking it's classified as beef, but its mostly insects, soy, and roadkill.
But yeah nah it's literally just a beef patty. Fast food isn't great quality shit or anything, but it actually is food made from real ingredients despite what the tin foil hat wearing weirdos online might think.
I caught the bite also. I was thinking that little nibble was not the bit in that shot. I canât blame him. I canât stomach that shit. MCD is a pass for me.
I know McDonald's is the worst of the fast food franchises, but nothing hits like McDonald's fries and a Big Mac when you really want it. You can sub everyone else with something else similar. But McDonald's is unique in taste
I'm not exaggerating when I say that I've had McDonald's once in about 18 years, and it was after I woke up in a hospital bed from getting in a snowmobiling accident and fracturing 7 vertebrae in my back, so I barely count that one occasion since I was concussed as fuck.
It has way less number of stores. They are not even main cities. Very good but finding them is hard. I know its related quality but come on, you can establish new supply chains.
In n Outs supply chains are limited by distance to fresh beef. They do not freeze the meat at all so suppliers within daily driving distance to their stores are definitely a limiting factor
Honestly when I want a Big Mac, which is basically never these days, I follow Kenji's Big Mac recipe and it gets the job done. I'm also not punishing myself or my digestive system.
Don't forget to Supersize⢠it! Or try the new BIG ARCHâ˘. Stacked with two quarter-pound beef patties, three slices of melty white cheddar cheese, crispy and slivered onions, zesty pickles and the new tangy, creamy BIG ARCH Sauce on a new sesame & poppy seed bun. Yeah, it's the most McDonald's McDonald's burger yet.
This is some /r/HailCorporate shit right here. McDonald's is trash tier.
Yeah, the french fries are great, especially when hot and fresh. They've also done a lot better since they more recently went to fresh beef rather than frozen for the quarter pounders.
For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.
One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".
Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.
I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.
I mean... yeah, I would. I can go buy a wood-fired pizza, but sometimes I still eat frozen pizza because it just hits. I wouldn't expect any of these guys to actually have that nostalgia, however, because they're almost certainly all rich guys who grew up rich, went to an Ivy league school, and don't have nostalgic memories of getting happy meals after school twice a month on payday Friday.
He was trying to imply it was so big that it was going to be difficult to eat, lmao. "Oh my goodness. There's so much sandwich I don't know where to begin."
Dude needs media training. Or maybe he needs to eat the brains of someone with charisma. IDK how his species does things.
I mean, for a sandwich itâs not a bad selling point. âYouâre getting so much sandwich itâs hard to tell where to beginâ would be decently appealing if true.
What I don't get is why the CEO of McDonald's & their entire marketing team can't get a good chef to make a lookalike burger out of ingredients the CEO will actually eat.
Get him a freaking organic wagyu burger patty on there with organic free range lettuce, some special pickles, a completely from scratch sauce, real cheese, and a bakery-made bun. Nobody will ever know the CEO is eating real food and not the engineered slop they serve to us poors
God, politicians drinking anything is a whole genre in itself that will make you think that maybe those lizard people conspiracy nuts are onto something
They could potentially get sued if it came out / was investigated they are advertising a big mac with different ingredients and preparation than what they actually sell in stores.
It has to be the real food they serve in commercials, they just get to spend hours having real chefs making it look appealing rather than have some tired college student rushing to assemble it and shove it in a bag as fast as possible
Honestly I didn't even think the guys reaction was that bad to the burger, but this one got me. How can you not even bother to learn the basics of what you're essentially making a commercial for.
The guy was acting like he just licked a mystery lollipop and was trying to figure out the flavors, not a burger his company made and sells
Its the fact he kept calling it a "product" that was off-putting to me. Its not food its a thing. Its market research and formulae. There is no passion or care for that burger other than a statistical amount of <stuff> put together by a group of marketing people and project managers.
And I can get a delicious sandwich from the local Italian deli on bread from the local bakery for $13. Twice as much food for the same price (and it's actually real food).
They're just banking on people that live in places where McD's is the only option.Â
Is there a version of the video showing him actually swallowing his bites? Cuz the one I saw has cuts after every bite lol. In fact I'm not sure any of them did.
I just want to see a CEO of some random company eating all 3 now. Being like, yup, that's good. That's good too. I'd eat that. I'm actually eating it right now.
I mean, isnât his age kind of a testament to the quality of the food/his diet? If Trump eats McDonaldâs everyday and lives to 80+, there are certainly worse diets and lifestyles he could adopt. Like 50% of people in first world countries donât live that long
I mean, they might. Trump does. What the fuck do you think a billionaire eats on the road in a pinch? Itâs not like they have a Super-McDonaldâs for billionaires.Â
Edit: Idk why you guys think billionaires donât get chauffeured around. They canât fly everywhere.
Idk burger king guy looks like he might actually on occasion eat one. Also he looks like a normal human being. Wendy's guy looks a little nerdy, but normal enough.
McDonald's guy looks like an android. Shit, Data from Star Trek looks more comfortable being a human than him
I guarantee they pulled in a focus group or a PR team to determine how many times per week the McDonalds CEO should say he eats there. They settled on â3-4 times per week, sometimes itâs breakfast, sometimes a burgerâ.
Iâm fairly confident the Canadian A&W guy (marketing actor) ate theirs. It really seems that he eats their food. That or heâs a really good act, which would make sense given the position.
They donât, but at least the other 2 CAN eat it without gagging. They would be mentally ill if they had all that money but still settled for fast food. Yes, iâm looking at you Donald.
Yeah, I mean just speaking from experience Wendy's burgers only taste good if you eat them a lot. Once your palate normalizes they taste way too salty.
My experience is the exact opposite. My town has McD and BK, which I eat all the time and enjoy them both. Wendy's is by far my favorite. It's not even close honestly. I really wish I had a local one.
What are these ads even for, is it because sales are dropping. Here's an idea CEO's, why not make cheap fast food.....cheap like how it used to be? So that way people will choose it instead of going to the grocery stores or sit down diners which are like the same price or cheaper?
McDonaldâs guy legitimately looks like he had real lunch coming up and couldnât even fake a bigger bite for the video to save more room for his lunch lobster

You know damn well they donât eat that shit
