If McDonalds ever marketed a 25 cent Mad Cow Burger I bet a lot of people would buy it

I know you meant that as a joke, Mikey... But what's interesting is how the masses flock to McDonalds regardless of what they're pushing. Case in point; Have you ever tried a McRib? I mean, c'mon... Is there any real meat in that thing at all??? I dunno, I just think it's funny. LOL I mean, I love McDonalds as much any American, and treat myself to a #2 breakfast once a week, but I just think the whole thing is really funny.
If you haven't seen "Supersize Me", go get it. It's absolutely fascinating... Again though, what's funny about that whole thing, is even though that film is VERY "anti McDonalds" and clearly shows how incredibly bad that food is for you, the first thing I did after I watched it, was go get a big mac. I'm totally serious... The film, even though it doesn't do it consciously, lavishly illustrates the wonderfully nostalgic virtues of the establishment.
As a matter of fact, I'm gonna get in my truck right now, and go get a #2!!!

Don't you "treat" yourself to foods you like, or that are nostalgic to you, John??? C'mon, even werewolves like snacks...Originally posted by Type3Toys

I actually like McRibs and I like McDonald's. Even though the menu has changed considerably, and "I'm Lovin' It" replaced "You Deserve A Break Today", and "We Do It All For You" as the catchphrase, when I do eat at McD's, it's for the pure nostalgia factor. I like to remember when it was all about McDonaldland, the premiums like glasses, calendars and Hamburglar dolls, and walking 10 blocks from my apartment w/ my mom back when it was still a treat, not a convenience. I even worked for the Golden Arches briefly when I first got outta high school in '84. And yeah, I know that the food has a higher sugar content than a lotta fast food, and that the shakes aren't real milk, and the patties are getting smaller, and that all kids care about is that prize in the Happy Meal. But it's not like I get a steady diet of the stuff. For me, it's still a treat. And sometimes when I eat a Quarter Pounder, it's like going back in time. The premiums aren't the same, but it's still fun to get one sometimes, and remember that Big Mac coin purse around my wrist. And when I take a little kid, I remember holding Mom's hand walking those 10 blocks.
If you look at it from that perspective, McD's isn't so bad after all.

I love your posts, Sharry. They always make me smile. You should write a book about all your experiences from when you were a kid. I'm totally serious...

Food take on the average seven hours to digest...from esophagus to rectum.Originally posted by Type3ToyssigpicComment

Again...not possible...unless you don't have a colon....and it still takes a couple of hours.
What it does however...is that it pushes previous foods out that were already in your system to begin with...thus the forced trajectory dilemma...
