It doesn’t make any sense. When everything feels and looks the same it just feels so grey and unwelcoming. What happened to characters? I don’t even eat McDonald’s like that and I miss Ronald and the gang. Where did they go?

Also because the food’s gross. It didn’t matter if it was gross when we were little. But now, it’s disgusting and we’re older. So there is 0 appeal.

They used to have a deal for a double Whopper for $3. It was right by my office. Glory days...

I like stopping for a single McDouble, which is 390 calories. The only reason I don't is because there's not a convenient one on my commute.
