The crisis is still hitting hard in Iceland. McDonald's pulls out of Iceland and since then:Thousands line up for last Big Mac in Iceland.

Lol, guess it's too late now, but at least McDonalds went out with a bang Smiley

McDonald's just did them a favor.  Eventually they will realize that.

I don't touch McDonald's. Haven't had it in many years. Gave up on BK a while back, after all four of us that ate there got violently ill and missed a week of work.

I rarely eat fast food at a chain but gave up on BK the day they made their fries into lactose sticks of death.

Yeah, I try to avoid it at all costs. Especially because of the cost (it takes a toll on your health and your wallet!).

Never understood why McDonald's is so popular. I kinda like BK though. Indeed not the fries, but the Double Whopper with bacon and cheese is nice.

McDonald's is clever with the toys. My kid sees that on TV and wants to go there. Of course then the whole family spends money there. I don't like McDonalds so he just has to suck it up and BK has toys too, but still. It does work.

I used to. I loved their burgers, but then spent a week spewing from both ends and decided not to go back.

Answered your own question there. We're "converted" as kids. That combined with McD putting a location in absolutely everywhere. You can drive somewhere, come upon a small town with "nothing" in it, yet it will have a McDonald's. They are everywhere.

I liked McDonald's fries before 1990... when they were still fried in beef tallow.   Cheesy

We had a BK and McD's side by side...  I would get a Whopper from BK, go next door and get fries from McD's...

There is a McD's inside Gillette Stadium.  Everything there is $2 more than normal.  There is a McD's 500 yards from Gillette Stadium, too.
