You are focusing way too much on the fact that its McDonald's. The point im making is largely seperate from the quality of said food, and is moreso focused on the fact that people dont generally like being cut off from different sources of food. We all catalog that shit either actively or passively, but if youre hungry and nothing else is available ya aint gonna care about quality.
Also I have eaten the fucking egg MRE, McDonald's is certainly closer to food than that abomination.
Fucking this. I once went on a week long "survivalist" camping trip. Your options for dinner were catching something yourself, or an MRE. Between the 5 of us that went, we caught exactly one rabbit the whole week.
We got a mountain of McDoubles(this was back when they were $1) on the way home and it was heavenly in comparison to that shite.
Oh you dont know the half of it. The egg MRE is one of the ones taken out of military rotation cause of how bad it is, for context Steve1989MRE gagged while eating one this is a man who ate Boar war proto ration and civil war hard tack.
I would rather eat a live rat than the egg MRE, no wonder the surplus place I got it from had a fucken warning on it and the dude at the counter made sure I wanted it three times.
