The thing with the McRib is, it's not economical to have on the menu full time, but it does well if they bring it out for a limited time. It's not that good, it's nothing like actual BBQ, but... I don't dislike it.

I don't think so, but I'd really like them to surprise me.

As posted before, the "I married a 14 year old" comment makes perfect sense. She actually does a good job at portraying the fact that she feels like she might have made the biggest mistake of her life yet.

I'll barely eat any pork outside of bacon and country sausage, won't eat pork ribs, chops, ham but somehow I will eat a mcrib. Even the mcrib knockoff the quiktrip gas stations here sell.

I like to think the McRib is only available from time to time because it takes them that long to save up the floor sweepings and have them pressed into shapes. Seriously, I don't know how people like that thing. It has a horrifying texture, unnerving shape, and tastes like poo poo. I bet if you looked around you could find a local barbecue joint that had a sandwich actually made from pulled pork for about the same price.

Yeah, I worked at a McDonalds back when I was a teenager and they had the McRib when I was there and it was kind of a hassle to make. Not that it was hard but it just took a while.

The Straight Talk ads are starting to get under my skin. The most recent one has an elderly couple with the husband trying to take a picture of his wife in the park. Another lady in the background suddenly gets flustered, goes over to the husband and rips the film off his camera while demanding no more pictures. The voiceover after calls it the "believing you're followed by the papparazi because you feel richer" effect or something like that. I don't know about you but going with a prepaid cell phone plan through Wal-Mart certainly wouldn't make me feel richer, or turn me into an rear end in a top hat.

Rhyno posted:Well, just talking about it made me crave it. Your McRib sandwich is probably not good for your heart. It has 980 mg of sodium and 10 grams of saturated fat. But then we already knew that it wasn’t exactly health food. According to Time’s healthland blog, that’s not all it has: The sandwich contains 70 other ingredients. And some of those ingredients, such as azodicarbonamide, ammonium sulfate and polysorbate 80 are kinda gross. May also contain pork stomachs, pork snouts, pork intestines, and pork grisl. It is like a twinkie in the sense of how much chemicals but made into a meat mixture.

Without looking it up, tell me why ammonium sulfate is gross. Or even what it's used for. Sorry if this seems strident, but my knee jerks when people have a knee-jerk reaction to "chemicals," especially when they're food additives (a) approved by the FDA, (b) added in measures of parts-per-million, and (c) decompose/react almost immediately into much more useful and much less scary-sounding compounds. Like azodicarbonamide, for example. e: also it's really funny to me that the three additives that article names are used to make the bun dough, not the weird mystery meat ooooOOOooo spooky McRib patty itself. Although the polysorbate 80 might be used in the barbecue sauce, and not the dough. A HUNGRY MOUTH fucked around with this message at 02:13 on Nov 2, 2011 |

The McRib looks like a floating piece of poo poo, and I have no idea how anyone who doesn't hate themselves would ever want to eat one. In fact, I can't see how anyone would look at any of McDonald's food and think, "I want to ingest that." As for that dumb Angry Birds commercial, the only thing it's convinced me of is that the creators are assholes with mental and social issues. "Frame-rate capab-" "Frame-rate capabilities."

At least they didn't make an ad directly courting the "ethnic" market, with half-assed R&B/slam poetry/Kangol hat scenarios. "Let's just get some black people doing acceptable black people things and pop a parfait and some fries in there and call it a day. I saw this 'Deaf Jam' thing on HBO last night. That's gotta be hip right?" All this McRib talk reminds me of an old Simpsons episode that makes fun of the fandom that erupted after its cancellation. Homer becomes addicted to the KrustyBurger "Ribwich" and joins a band of "ribheads" who bus around the country following the last remaining fountains of ribtastic goodness. Homer eventually corners Krusty and asks him why it was cancelled: Krusty: "Well, it got so popular that the animal we made it from went extinct." Homer: "The pig? Cow? Sheep?" Krusty: "No, think smaller. With more legs." There are prisons with better food than the McRib.

The newest Happy Meal commercial is themed for the new Puss in Boots movie and the kids in it are all hispanic. Cause the cat is Antonio Banderas. I don't know why it bugs me, it just seems sorta demeaning as if McDonalds thinks only hispanics would care about a movie staring a spanish guy.

Electric Bugaloo posted:Homer becomes addicted to the KrustyBurger "Ribwich" and joins a band of "ribheads" That episode had an incredible Requiem for a Dream reference in it with the fat from the sandwich hitting homer's bloodstream. I don't know why I go to Mcdonalds. Their fries are the best, but I'm a meat-eater and would never go somewhere just for fries. Every time I take that 1st bite of a Mcds burger (or mcrib) I think "oh yeah this is what it tastes like, and what it's tasted like every single time I've been here, why the gently caress did I get a craving to come here?" It doesn't taste like normal meat but somehow I'm drawn to it and thinking about it until I get that 1st disappointing bite. They're putting something in it I swear, the corporations and their chemicals man. I mean wendy's and BK aren't great but their burgers DO taste like actual beef, they're just as close to work as Mcds if I'm wanting something fast, why do I even consider Mcd's an option? (a: addictive chemicals. put there by corporations.)

I remember watching one of the travel shows where the host was eating the local cuisine of fried water beetles and giant grubs and stuff like that. Anyway, he was having a hard time getting it down, but his local guide loved the stuff. So the hosts asks the guy if there are any foods that he can't stand eating and the guy said that he absolute can't eat cheese. When the host asked him why not, the guy said and he couldn't understand how anyone could eat something that was basically spoiled animal tit-juice.

Since there is no thread for good ads, I'd like to say Chevy knocked one out of the park with the commercial where people hold past pictures up to various places with Ray Charles singing in the background. Really good visuals all around in the commercial. Sorry for the lovely quality but this is all I could find without the audio removed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0nsh_Rvu3k
