Remember being excited for McDonald’s instead of it just being the last pick ‘guess there’s nothing else’ option? I miss the crisp mcnuggies and burgers that actually had me excited to go there.

It's not even that to me. I haven't had McDonald's in 4 years. I'll go home and make a PB and J before I stop there. I'd stop at a gas station and get a prepacked sandwich before mcds lol

Everyone loves the smell, apparently. "Yay, fries". It's deeply unpleasant to me. But they had great (and cheap) coffee. Standing at a train station at the crack of dawn, options were limited.

Now even that reason is gone, as they're no longer cheap.

I will admit their coffee is good
