McDonald's Trivia

If you got this and other Big Mac ingredients you'll have a head start on my What's in Food quiz..

That ones just for American food. International version coming soon.

Agreed, the official slogan WAS "I'm lovin' it", but I thought I read in the WSJ that they changed it to something else, can't remember what it was but I thought it was silly.

Seconded, here in the U.K. we call them Gherkins in a big mac.

Yeah, gherkins would be a useful type-in

Yes please! Didn't know what to put there.

I don't understand the problem here. Wendy's had a Frosty long before Blizzards or McFlurries were offered. Dairy Queen began adding candies and cookies to the mix and dubbed theirs the Blizzard. It was so successful that McDonald's came up with their McFlurry, and Burger King then added a Sundae Shake, and Wendy's improved their Frosty by adding the crunchy bits and calling it a Twisted Frosty. It's all marketing, and one probably wouldn't want to call an ice cream concoction a "Sandy Beach" or "Scirocco". Just because McDonald's began selling fast food hamburgers didn't mean it was unethical for DQ and other companies to copy their model and build their own sandwich businesses. As long as there is no trademark infringement that's free enterprise, and may the best-tasting shake and burger win.

This time around I missed "McFlurry" because I was just typing in "Flurry." Though "nugget" on its own worked. Really seems superfluous.

But there's also a sausage mcmuffin

Then you should go see it. It's great.

He was my daughter's favorite character.

You don't have that authentic maple MacDonald's treat in Canada?? Oh the shame...

Or Mac sauce, as it was called in the work environment.

I read Fast Food Nation and the ingredients for a strawberry shake took a page and a half. I didn't recognize anything as a word; I don't even recall seeing water.

Two of my kids worked at McDonald's during high school, and because of his model they learned skills that helped them later on in their careers - multitasking, dealing with the public, dealing with co-workers and managers, - why do people make fun of fast food workers? Have you ever tried to make change for one person at a window while at the same time taking an order from someone else through your headphones? (By the way, when they ask that annoying, "Would you like fries with that?" it's because they are told to do so by management and they get in trouble if they don't, so please be kind to the workers when they ask it and make any complaints to corporate.) One man who was really rude to my daughter when she asked that, turned out to be one of her teachers. He was rightfully embarrassed when he got to her window.

It should be accepted, but I wonder how many people know that the reason for including this list of ingredients is the "song" associated with it. Like, several people complain that the Big Mac has "gherkins" in the UK, so this should be accepted (and I agree, since the question is a list of ingredients).

But I wonder if they chant "Two all-beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese gherkins onions on a sesame seed bun." Because there's no chant that goes "Two all-beef patties big mac sauce lettuce cheese pickles onions on a sesame seed bun."

That's kinda sad
