    If they test market it in the south they'll get the proper findings.

    I don't see me breaking my 8yr streak without  McDonald's for this.

    They have the best fast food fries and coke, that's cola. I spend 150 days a year on the road and find my self there two or three times a year typically buying some $6.00 salad of the month and a diet coke.

    Should I be scared?  Their breakfast sandwiches, especially the bacon-egg-cheese biscuit, are like crack to me.  Now they serve breakfast all day. I'm in big trouble.  Seriously, I like Macs and millions of people are just like me.  My pulled pork will always be better and I'm not worried about anything.

    McDonald's should stick to their strengths. Big Macs double cheese burgers  (as stated previously on this forum...my crack cocaine) and fries. Stay away from the que.

    They were actually hurting financially after trying to abandon their "kids" emphasis and become a "cool place to hang" for the teenagers (yeah, that worked...)
    Just two days ago I read that their stock is sailing, and it was credited to them: offering breakfast all day?!?!?   I really don't understand that.  
    I'll try the pulled pork, once.  I tried a "buttermilk chicken" sammich at BK (iirc) a couple weeks ago, no thank you ever again.

    We had a McDonald's 200' from the pool in my college neighborhood. Can't tell you how many times I walked through that drive thru and got 15 double cheese and 15 Mcchic sand and fed all the drunks at the pool. Nothing wrong with it when your drunk and hungry unless your old and ornery.

    I have to admit I'm on the road a lot. A grilled chicken salad no dressing and a black coffee. 280 calories. It works when I'm in a hurry

    If it's as bad as the McRib, it wouldn't be anything that I'm interested in.

    I don't eat their swill, regardless of any marketing.  They could serve a big Mac between Scarlett Johanssen's boobs and I'd still have to think about it.  Probably not for long. Ok, maybe then and only then.

    If I'm served a sandwich between Scarlett's boobs, I can promise you the sandwich would not be what I'd be thinking about.  Heck, a used air sickness bag would go unnoticed.  

    To your point though, I don't know how anyone who actually cooks can eat any of the cardboard served at micky d's.  I'd only consider myself an average cook, but the thought of a burger from there turns my stomach.

    If they pair this pulled pork sammich with the McRib in a meal deal, they may have something!  The to go box could be shaped like Scarlet Johanson's boobs and they would sell out!

    i would be all for them going back to the styrofoam quarter pounder containers and using animal fat again for the fries. =)   those cardboard containers dry out the burgers big time, and the fries were never right again

    I used to destroy some double quarter pounders when I was in high school, now the thought of it makes my guts turn. And now their "pulled pork". I wonder what they are using to make this with.

    Fred, you probably shouldn't offer suggestions on happy meal prizes - you may get in some hot water.

    If it tastes anything like their McRib sandwich, I'll pass. That thing is disgusting.
