Somebody out there is going to have to put their big boy pants on and try one of these.
Post some opinions, side effects.
I so wanted to use the title 'Sirloin Turd Pounders'.

Better get one "while it lasts".  And while you're here and all excited about our latest temporary offering, you might as well get some fries, an overpriced soda and a milkshake.

^  No fast food is anything to write home about.  That's because fast food is more about the fast, not the food.  At best, anything a fast food place offers can only be good "for fast food".  That is, "for fast food, this burger's good".

I'd prolly try one if they didn't each cost more than five pounds of ground beef.

For the cost of one of those things, I could buy a pound of meat, a pack of nice rolls, some sliced cheddar cheese & a bag of frozen fries.

Not to mention a 2 liter bottle of soda.

Pig out on three 1/3 pounders with cheese & a pile of fries.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrp!!!!!!

Plus, you could make it the way you want.  You can add spices, cook it in butter, barbecue it, etc.  

For cheese, I'd shred up some of the pepper jack they're selling at the Dollar Tree right now.  6oz slab for, of course, $1.

I don't like to get too fancy with spices or cheeses on a burger.

A bit of soy sauce, or Dale's sauce which is soy sauce based, is fine & the most far out I'd get with cheese might be Monterrey Jack or maybe some Alpine Lace.

I don't like anything overpowering the taste of the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeef.

We had burgers over here at my mom's yesterday. The lady across the street had gotten a pack of Omaha steaks from her daughter & there were six burger patties in there which she brought over & gave to my mom.

Mom & my sister had one each.

I had the other four.

Two for lunch, then two later on for dinner.

Didn't they trot out these burgers once before? I remember my friend saying her husband tried one and said it was like a salt lick. I think he had the mushroom and swiss one.

McDonalds has a tendency to bring back old sandwiches for "a limited time" like those puke inducing riblet fake pork things.

Yep, the failed 1/3 Pound Angus burgers from 2012 - 2013. I made a joke about it in another thread. Something about McDonald's trying sell burgers to people who don't want burgers by selling bigger burgers.

LOL

I had a couple of the Angus version back in the day, and I'm in no hurry to try these as a result of the experience. They just aren't different enough from a Quarter Pounder to justify the extra cost. In fact, I think when they dropped the Angus burgers, all they dropped was the patties. They started offering the Quarter Pounder with all the dressings the Angus used to have.

I think McDonald's et al, are all on their way to becoming places where people go when they absolutely have to stop & get something to eat while they're either on their way somewhere or out doing other stuff & less of a destination in & of themselves like they used to be.

More of a "Might as well just stop at __________" kind of thing.

^ Beloved and I were in rhode island and I pulled into a mcdonalds to use the restroom. I was going to try the dollar menu mozzarella sticks but looking up at the menu board I couldnt find the dollar menu.

I wanted to get on the road asap so I just said fukkit and left.

I know im getting all geriatric but there were multiple menu boards and not a single one had the dollar menu.

Do I need to know some kind of secret handshake???

I noticed the other day at Carl's Jr. that their basic cheeseburger wasn't on the menu.  I had to ask if they still had such a thing.

I guess they don't want to encourage the cheap stuff.

The menus in these parts have the "value menu" at the bottom of the center board (drive thru), but not everything is listed. I admittedly can't remember the last time I actually set foot inside a McDonald's to know what the menus in there look like. Maybe next time I have to pee I'll run up the street and have a look-see.

LOL

As for encouraging the cheap stuff... they lose money on the value menu, so yeah, they don't want you buying a bag full of dollar items.

Wouldnt that be a look-pee?

All those fast food drive in menus look all willy nilly. And the sizes have all changed too. Having to use two hands to hoist a small soda is just wrong as isbusing the equivalent of a shoe box to measure out an order of fries.

No, the look-pee is for the McDonald's employees when I come out of the bathroom after an obviously hasty exit in my tan shorts.

McDonald's burgers are okay but Jakes Wayback Burgers are more exceptional! My favorite is the Rodeo Burger, beef, onion rings, and sauce yum yum, it is DELICIOUS!

They remind me of those websites that have all sorts of ads and stories and photo galleries and links all over them.  Visual overload.

I honestly have nothing good to say about McDonalds.
So, naturally this will be a really long post.   

Seriously though, I'd like to see a study of McDonald's financial performance stacked up against their historical ad campaign slogans.

Remember these little gems:?

"You deserve a break today."
"McDonald's in your kind of place"
"Look for the Golden Arches!"
"Do you believe in magic?"* (*less the creepy clown of course, and)
"What you want is what you get.."

Then comes all this lovin' sh*t and the brand tanks...

Jesus. How hard is it for McDonald's to figure it out?
Lovin'? Ground beef? (Sorry, I just don't get the connection.)
I knew they were doomed the minute I first heard it.

They need to take all that lovin' crap (and the creepy clown) and deep fry both of them. Following that, they might start to think about putting something that's actually edible on the menu.
