McDonald's Sued Again

Soup Nazi: "You think you can get soup? Please, you're wasting everybody's time"


Elaine: "Oh I don't need soup. I can make my own soup... Your secret's out Soup Nazi! No more soup for you. NEXT!"




This story has been all over the news lately, so I figured it deserved a mention here. So now yet another one of McDonald's secret ingredients in their delicious artificial fry flavor is out in the open. A few years ago it was revealed that McDonald's was using beef tallow extract in their cooking oil, much to the shock and horror of the millions of vegetarians that eat at McDonald's. Now a new lawsuit has revealed that they also have been using dairy and wheat in their artificial flavoring. If these lawsuits continue then soon anyone will be able to make fries that taste the same as the ones at McDonald's. Please vegetarians and people with dangerous food allergies, stop eating at McDonald's! You're just going to ruin it for the rest of us.

I'd love to be able to make McDonald's fries at home, or get them at KFC or other places that currently have bad fries. The thing is Mehan, you've got to look at the big picture. What happens to poor McDonald's once everyone has their fries? What will happen to my Big Mac if McDonald's gets run out of town by some dude selling super size fries out of the back of his car for 50 cents? That might sound crazy, but if these trial lawyers, kids with food alergies and vegi-nazis get their way then that's what's going to happen! Is that what you want? Eating fries out of some guys trunk?

Guess what dood: McDonalds doesn't make their money with french fries- if it's on food at all it's the coke, which has about a 90% profit margin. In reality, Mickey Ds makes it's loot Donald Trump style - REAL ESTATE. The revelation of the secret fry recipe might take a few pennies off the share price but prime Manhattan square footage is where the real money lies. You can learn all of this and more in Fast Food Nation.
As for "vegi-nazis" and their frivolous lawsuits, think about this: what would cost McD's more, a lawsuit once in a while over their ingredients resulting in a likely small settlement to a miniscule minority of people with allergies or all those people, including vegetarians, who would no longer be able to eat at their restaurants, as you've suggested? You aren't being a very good McD's representative . . .
Anyway, what am I talking about? Vegetarians don't eat at McDonalds. Even the air has meat in it.
