		<description>I spent almost seven years of my life slinging grease at McDonald&#039;s, so there&#039;s really not much I want to know. I know a lot about McD&#039;s, inside and out, and it is a pretty decent place to eat (at least, the locations I worked at were). I wouldn&#039;t consider McD&#039;s a healthy option - I didn&#039;t when I worked there and I don&#039;t now - but I have no problems with getting the kids happy meals or scarfing down a McChicken.

Several times when I worked there we had a special burger called the Hockey Hero burger. We called it the Triple Bypass because it was three patties, mayo, special sauce...*shudder*. Whenever we worked drive thru we&#039;d always call it The Hockey Hair burger and you know...nobody ever noticed.</description>

		<description>Cute pic btw!

About Mickey d&#039;s...Love all the questions so far, would love to see them answered. While I&#039;d love to see more healthy options on the menu, what kid in their right mind would choose them (or allow mom to choose them) when there are fries and chicken nuggets there? I&#039;d like to see a whole new restaurant like &quot;McHealthy&#039;s&quot; with the same atmosphere, kids meals in neat boxes with toys, clean high chairs, fast service, fun decor, with ONLY healthy options on the menu. Now that&#039;s where I&#039;d wanna take my kids, and eat too.

		<description>How come there fries are so bloody addictive?  I mean as long as they are hot and fresh.  McD&#039;s needs to implement at freshness rule...like fries will not sit longer than 5 mins. or we start a new batch.

		<description>Thanksgiving in October is weird. Weird and wrong, I say. Oh wait, pie? I love pie. I&#039;d eat pie in October. Ok, never mind my first statement. I take it back.

Ask McDonalds for me, if they pump french fry smell into the air, so you can smell it from a six mile radius.</description>

		<description>Why don&#039;t they offer their new coffees in decaf?  I love lattes from Starbucks (but with the price, they are a treat not an everyday occurance).  McDs only has regular fancy coffees, no decafs (at least here in MN where we are not being exposed to electromagnetic communist activity).
What happened to those yummy warmed up apple danishes?</description>

Seriously though, the McDLT and the pizza are two items I miss personally.
