A constant queue of cars at MacDonalds - Am I missing out on something?

That’s for beer cans surely? It is around here

Newton heath is full of piss heads

Anybody see that piece where Subway rolls were ruled to have too much (by 5x) sugar content to be classed as bread in the Irish Courts
And they wonder i) why kids luv em ii) why there is an obesity problem

Subway bread is not bread, Irish court rules

Judge finds that sugar content of US chain’s sandwiches exceeds stipulated limit and they should thus be classified as confectionery

That's stupid and needles - there is a market for very tasty, fresh and made to order sandwiches - why fill it with sh1t?

To create addiction and thus stimulate demand

Not sure people get addicted to Subway (maybe to the all-round idea of eating fast food), but surely they would get repeat business from just supplying their sandwiches minus the additional 6 measures of sugar in the bread?

Can anyone tell me what it is that makes folk spend so much time in them queues?

It really is mind boggling how long people are prepared to sit in their cars so they can get their hands on a burger.

Is there something addictive in them?

A large % of the people who have posted in this thread saying they hate McDonalds are probably never out of the place. You could have a thread about water on here and some would say they only drink melted moon ice.

Same reason Macdonalds have that bit of gherkin in - tips the balance just far enough the other way to stop their burgers being confectionery. No secret to the addictive quality of fast food, just vast amounts of salt and sugar with a comforting dose of fat too.
