I wouldn't quite call them "trash" but, yeah, I haven't been a fan of McDonald's for... decades. For years once I moved to California where there's so much good food I avoided the whole chain, visiting them maybe once a year or so when I needed a meal on the go and there wasn't anything better around. Last year I started to go a little more often, once every month or two, as I discovered a game that makes eating at McDonald's slightly amusing. I order stuff from the value menu and revel in getting a tolerable meal for $5-7. That's half of what I pay at fast food chains I like better. Plus, Hawk dislikes them less than most of the other traditional fast food chains I prefer. It's a place we agree on not being worse than "Meh". Or maybe "Meh-minus". 😂

The bargain-hunter aspect that leads me to McDonald's every once in a while is why I mentioned the $9 price of the McRib combo. And for that $9 I wasn't even full. For that kind of money there are a lot of other places I'd rather go, even if they cost a few bucks more.
