has anyone tried that stupid new salad that mickey d's is trying to pass off as a "healthy choice" item?! the destinychild green fork special or whatever?!

i was desperately hungry at work a couple weeks ago and didn't want to forrage, so i stumbled into a mcdonald's for fries and a shake (hey, it happens) and figured i'd try it, since they so rarely have anything vegetarian on the menu, much less anything that they'll hype.

it was GROSS. the walnuts were caked in sugar and there was a dressing/dipping sauce that was basically cinnamon roll icing, and the apples tasted like they were soaked in chemicals. no wonder beyonce's hawking this stuff!

Looked great.

and the bastards didn't even give me the green fork. my dining experience was freakin' doomed from the start.

The 'salad' is two small sliced apples with grapes, walnuts, and a side of yogurt for dipping. Not worth $3.00.

it's really a rip-off. i think they're making it a rip-off so they can say they tried offering 'healthy alternatives' but the customers didn't like it. i also bet if all the mickey d's were to start selling mcveggie sandwiches (there were a few test stores that offered 'em, and they really weren't bad), they'd be way more successful. but that might piss off the beef industry...

They really do suck.

I can't even get a quarter pounder with cheese here, although I can get a samurai "pork" burger and a McGecko sandwich.

mcdonald's launched a prototype "McCafe" here in chicago for a while, which was supposed to be their answer to starbuck's...it was laughable, virtually campy...i really hoped it would catch on, because it was so silly i wanted my friends in NYC to experience it.

Anxiety said:

We went into the McD's near us and asked for the mcveggie sandwiches, they said they had them but they wouldn't make them for us so we were all"fine then" and walked out.
My friend had the fruit salad -it was about 8 apple slices,3 raunchy inedible grapes,the walnuts and that vanilla yogurt they put in the parfaits...definitely not worth the money.

Oh yeah she doesn't eat the yogurt because there's gelatin in it

they probably boil the walnuts in lard, too.

i knew the commercials made 'em look/sound too good to be true. hell, i bet the apples probably have meat in 'em anyway.

guess its not as nice as that huh ?

Anxiety said:

They tried the McLean about 15 years ago and it sucked. It was like eating cardboard. I know it's not the McVeggie, but they just can't make good food for the healthy conscious.

Not that I care. Gimme a Big Mac or Quarter Pounder with Cheese any day!

Anxiety said:

Errr.....they have those springing up all over Australia now. lol

I've never tried it and never will. I'm deathly allergic to walnuts. I'd have the worst break-out if I did.

Sugar coated walnuts, eh? WTG with the health-consciousness, Mickey D's.

you should check one out just for laughs (if they let you in, of course)!

Anxiety said:

I have already. Coffee sucks! I think they're pushing it here because we don't have Starbucks on every corner like you guys do.

althom said:

mickey d coffee DOES suck. i hate it. and their McCafe cappucinos tasted like they came out of a vending machine.

we're starting to get coldstone creameries on every corner these days. are you getting invaded by those too?

Anxiety said:

there's 2 of 'em nearby me.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

those places are creepy. the employees are just a little too damn chipper.

Anxiety said:

their ice cream's good, but i can't sit in the place and eat my order...when they bust out singin i wanna jump over the counter and start slappin the shit outta people.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

see, if i'm gonna be a regular customer, they need to cut that crap out. NOW.

Anxiety said:

i wonder if they take requests: "do ya'll know of a song that's called 'please shut the hell up while i'm eating'?"

Anxiety said:

Haven't heard of those!

althom said:

Silly question, but do people eat kangaroo over there? (believe it or not, it's a serious question...)

ReturnOfDOOK said:

There's some resturants that will serve it. You can find a butcher that sells it too. But it's not like we have it every friday night for dinner. lol

Anxiety said:

I would do beyonce so hard. Oh my goodnes....

She's mine!!!!!
