McDonald's.. Who are they kidding?
As someone in food, and marketing, I've long been a McDonald's admirer.. until these last few weeks... Have to say that I'm wholly turned off by McD's claiming in ads how 'they've worked endlessly to create a perfect chicken sandwich'...
Really? Endlessly? Tirelessly? They're totally full of crap. They've ripped off Southern fast food institution Chick Fil 'A so obviously with this sandwich that it's shameful. But to then posture like they thought up a white meat filet on a fluffy bun with pickles? They should drop dead. Truett Cathy, the self-styled evangelical chairman of Chick Fil 'A, came up with that tidbit 40 years ago and built a helluva chain on the concept. Oh.. And that chicken biscuit McDonald's wants you to think they 'developed'? Uh.. Bojangles, Popeyes and Biscuitville have had them for 25 years. They should be embarassed at Oak Brook.

Chicago, to my knowledge, doesn't have one. We dont have a Sonic here either but we get bombarded with Sonic commericals like crazy. Now, while I was in Carbondale, I had access to all the good fast food joints

There isnt one here in Philly either, but rest assured every 15th commercial is a Sonic. Horrible marketing if you ask me. When I stayed at a hotel in South Carolina for my cousing wedding, a Sonic was a stones throw away. Let's just say I came back a few lbs heavier than I went down. The best fast food you can ask for IMO. As for the McD's. Havent touched the stuff since 2003-04. One of the stores around me was shut down due to problems with Mickey and his cohorts. Turned me off of fast food in general for a while, but couldnt do without my frosty, so I became a Wendy's loyalist. (chicken only)

Growing up...they were constantly giving out samples in front of the store inside the mall. They cut up the chicken into pieces and then put toothpicks in em. We'd eat about 2 sandwiches worth in a night for free just strolling the mall

Mc D's is good for the mcskillet burrito breakfast (sausage) and the chicken wraps they came up with a year or two ago. I get those things once and awhile.
Wendy's has a good chicken sandwich and frosty's are the best! I go to Wendy's probably once every few months. BK I skip by... Sonic has great root beer floats! and tots! Thats really all I'll get there... Chic Fil 'et is the bomb though! I get a chicken sandwich there maybe once a month. Great with mayo! I try not to eat much fast food but it's so easy and its sad that getting some things off the dollar menu is cheaper than going to the grocery store these days! So I try to only get a chicken dish.. and avoid the fry's and burgers and soda's... but it still clogs arteries! The only time I get a burger at a fast food place now is Krystals after a night of heavy drinking. And the only reason I go is my friend drags me there... Nothing like a few mini burgers with onions, pickels and cheese to absorb some booze!

It all pales next to the Moons Over My Hammy sandwich.

Check the calories on those, something like 1500 (a day's worth) for a medium. Clog, clog
