Yet another rant....

I know, I just vented yesterday so i should be good for a while right? Wrong! Not when there are injustices in the world and wrongs to be righted or at least exposed for the entertainment of others.

The last issue was a little heavy. This one, not so much. This one concerns one of my least favorite eateries in the entire known universe, McDonalds.

While I realize that ALL fast food restaurants are bad for you. Most of them at least serve substances that are passable as tasty food. Apparently, McDonalds has chosen to abandon this. I haven't liked McDonalds for a long time, I think their food stinks. As a consequence I try to avoid their establishments like people used to avoid Lepers. But, this morning I needed breakfast and the place I frequent wasn't open yet. Usually they are, not this morning. before, I hear wh ynot just wait till they're open, you must realize that i have a narrow window in my meanderings to grab something quick to eat. So, being the only open game in this icy little burg I took a chance.

I noticed that they had something new, the McSkillet Burrito. Fast food places put their best efforts into new items. They want it to taste extra special so that you'll get used to eating it. Even McDonalds.

Not today.

The McSkillet looks like it might taste good. Don't be deceived, it doesn't. The first few bites are almost palitable. So you drive on, abscentmindedly consuming trying desperately not to recall where you got your breakfast. But, this thing MAKES you remember with every nibble you take. Having spent money on it, some would continue, being too damn stubborn to just throw the offending food item from their proximity. Out of the interest of science, I endeavored to persevere.

I shouldn't have. It was horrid. What made it worse is that the eggs were all at the top and the substance they try to pass off as meat was at the bottom. Gross.

You'd think, "Hey, I also got a large soda. Maybe the acid will strip the contaminate from my taste-buds".  A perfectly reasonable expectation, if McDonalds hadn't also screwed up soda. Hard to do, but McD's figured it out. Apparently when they cleaned the spiggets for the soda machine they didn't rinse them very well. A strong chemical aftertaste accompanied the soda.

The soda I didn't finish. I had to go to a convenience store and purchase a botteled soda to WASH THE TASTE OF THE FOUNTAIN SODA out of my mouth.

I've tried complaining to McDonalds, it never is a good experience. If the people you talk to even understand you, they don't get paid enough to care.

Fine, lesson re-learned yet again.
