What happened to styrofoam?

I got lunch from McDonald’s today. First time I’ve eaten there in 40 years. The burger came in an ugly cardboard box and the damn thing was cold by the time I got it home. They used to put them in styrofoam, which kept it hot. And the French fries taste nothing like they used to. Absolutely disgusting. I’ll never eat there again.

I went to McDonald's a few days ago for breakfast and then again for lunch. They screwed up my order both times.

Who eats McDonalds?

Because it takes a styrofoam cup 500 years to forever to biodegrade.

This is pretty much how stupid people communicate.

Their fries are not fit for human consumption and haven’t been for a long time. I don’t know what they are made of, but they become as hard as granite when they cool down and they never spoil. They’re probably as bad for the environment as Styrofoam is.

Doesn't degrade and can't be put in the microwave.

I went to McDonald’s for the first time in three months, and they’re charging $1.50 for a shitty flat cheeseburger now when they used to be a dollar not long ago. And it did not even taste great.

Mcdonalds has been using cardboard since at least my childhood in the late 90s, were you in a coma? I understand you don't eat there, I don't eat there either but I know they use cardboard for their stuff.

Mcdonald's fries are made of potato, soybean oil, wheat and sugar. They also have artificial beef flavor which is actually vegetarian.

Chinese restaurants still use styrofoam.

r19 the sugar is a mix of sugar and water that is sprayed on the fries when frozen - it is what gives them that golden color and extra crispiness. Random things I wish I didn't know.

I'm old enough to remember when McDonalds was good. Late 1960s, the hamburgers were real, the fries were heavily salted and the milkshakes tasted great. We will never have fast food that good again.

It's better than that nasty cornstarch that Burger King uses. Ugh, their fries are awful. All you taste is the cornstarch coating. I don't think there's any potato in there at all.

Did you ask them to hold the pickle? They always screw that one up.

McDonald's fries are flavored to be addictive, but you have to eat then when they're hot for that effect. So you order a small, love it, then get a super-sized next time. I learned that in a nutrition class.

I rarely go to McDonald's but when I do I'll get a Big Mac and small fries. Great when they're hot. But there are a number of local burger joints around here that are far superior, one that cuts their potatoes on site for the best fries ever.

All the styrofoam is swirling in the Pacific garbage patch now, OP, go check it out.

Ann Miller wisely held onto her last styrofoam quarter pounder box.

You all are missing the point of this thread. OP hasn’t deigned to eat at McDonald’s in 40 years. Celebrate him!

The styrofoam was gone long before the SJWs. I think they started phasing that out in the 90s?

by Anonymousreply 27May 22, 2020 5:52 AM

That's when SJWs started, R27.

Is it possible that the McDonald's cheeseburger only cost a quarter in 1980? (In Portland, OR.)
