On the road today driving from my office in the metro Washington DC area down to NAS Oceana in Virginia.
I stopped for lunch just off the highway and stopped for the first time in ages at a McDonald's. Back in high school and, admittedly, even through much of university I ate often at McDonald's. Way too often. But it was easy and cheap and quick... and back then that's all I looked for on a meal.
I've since gotten a bit more picky in my choices and even in the last few months been trying to actually make healthy choices. But as I said, this was a quick on the road stop.
I ordered the Quarter Pounder with bacon and cheese, a medium fries, and my Coke Zero. I'm not a big beef eater but I do like an occasional good burger. This was not that. This was a very dried out chewy slab of mystery meat. 🤦♀️ The fries, by weight, likely contained more salt and grease than potatoes. And my beloved Coke Zero was way more water and way less syrup that it was supposed to be.
I dumped it all after a few bites and sips. I'll arrive in Dam Neck hungry and got me a good Navy meal!!! 🙄😤

They even have a Maccas in my town despite having a population less than McDonalds usual business plan requirement. I tried a coffee once. Never eaten there in the almost ten years I have lived here. Likewise we recently got a Hungry Jacks (Burger King) never eaten there either.
It is not called Burger King in Australia because someone was already using that as a business name. A Burger joint in Adelaide.
@sarabee1995 The Adelaide guy was offered money to buy the BK name and he refused. Ended up closing down but by the HJ's was Australia wide. I think Hungry Jacks was the name of a burger or something on Burger Kings menu.
