More talking about eating it regularly, I just don't get it. If I'm at a service station in the middle of nowhere, sure I'll eat a McDonald's. But in a city, with hundreds of better options, I don't get why anyone would choose it over better takeaways.
All I'm saying is I don't get it, I haven't eaten enough to know the differences in any of their food. You could put every frie(fry?) And every burger from every FF chain and I wouldn't be able to identify a single one.
Do you need to eat something multiple times to know how it tastes? Or do you just pay so little attention to what you eat that you can't tell the difference between thick cut vs thin cut fries, or seasoned vs unseasoned, and so on?
Or are you just blindly saying that any place that's smaller is inherently superior because it's less popular? Because you clearly can't even remember how the fast food tastes...
i have to say living in a country with more options i have not eaten in any of the places on that list in somewhere between 7-10 years and in that time i atleast have forgotten what their fries taste like other than vague memories of slight dissapointment. Also smaller places I would say have to be better than large fast-food chains as why would anyone go there if it was worse. Of course at least in my country there are tons of random no-name grills and kebab-pizzerias that have the most wildly swinging quality but even for them its very rare for the food to be noticeably worse than what I would expect from mcdonalds so atleast for me i would rather throw the dice between "technically edible"and "holyshitthisisthebestthingever!" than choose "tastes like dissapointment engineered to taste "good"". And even if the frood from the Nonamekebappizzeria™ is just barely edible i guess at the end of the day i supported a local business(altough sometimes it might be that they dont pay taxes(not like the multinational corporations are too keen on that either).
Nah but it's been so long I have no clue what any of them taste like at this point, they can't be that different.
Small doesn't automatically mean better, it's about the cooking process, speed, and cuisine. There are far better types of food I'd go for.
This is the pretentious, willfully ignorant kind of stuff I was missing from reddit. Thank you.
