There are times when you just need those fries or the frozen yogurt. ;)

Maybe they should focus on providing healthier options rather than "cheap premium" burgers.

Yeah I know most of McDonalds isn't healthy, but I just don't like Subway. Jimmy John's is much better.

McDonalds may be seeing a modest sales bump for the rest of the summer. After following that Cleveland kidnapping last week and hearing the 911 call and interviews of the rescuer on youtube "I'm just here eating McDonalds bro!" I have been to McDonalds twice in the last week, which matches the total for all of last year. I can't be the only person who has experienced a sudden craving for McDonalds in the past week.

I know there are much better tasting burgers out there, especially at local mom and pop places, but still a Big Mac from time to time is mighty nice. :cool:

Healthy choices don't make money because people may say they want them, but very few end up buying them.

That's because they charge an arm and a leg for those. Would you pay 5 bucks for a salad that costs 50 cents to make on your own?

The value meals are just about the same price. They give Chipotle as an example, and that is far from affordable healthy considering the type of food. McDonald's isn't as expensive as Chick-fil-A, but it is close!

You misspelled "In-n-Out" ;)

Popeye's is just about the greatest fast food fried chicken there is.

Nah, KFC's Spicy Chicken in Asia is way better.

Burger King to serve BBQ sandwich. Attempt to compete with McDonalds McRib?
 
http://i2.cdn.turner.com/money/dam/a...wich-620xa.jpg

...
The menu, also featuring a Memphis BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich and a Carolina BBQ Tendercrisp Sandiwch, will debut on May 21.

While a Burger King publicist wouldn't confirm if this menu is intended to lure customers away from the McDonald's McRib, the Burger King rib sandwich does bare a BBQ-themed resemblance.

Burger King described the Rib Sandwich as a "juicy boneless rib patty with a sweet and tangy BBQ sauce" that is "topped with crispy bread and butter pickles" served on a "warm toasted artisan style bun."

I'd try it.

It's been around in select markets for about a year, if not more, so it's not really a new product.

The reviews from last year were actually not bad.
