Title: "4 Dollars is Dumb" - McDonalds new ad campaign against Starbucks
Post by: MrAngryFace on April 11, 2008, 01:30:23 AM
I hate all that shit over 4 bucks on the mcdonalds menu, I hope some other fast food place makes shitty versions of those things and sells em for less than 4 bucks.

My younger cousins were just telling me the other day that it's not that cheap to eat at MickeyD's.  Might as well go to Carl's JR or In-N-Out if it's going to cost $5 or more.

McD's fries is the only thing that I like.  I used to like their chicken nuggets as well but they don't seem to taste the same anymore.

To hell with both of them.  McDonalds's chicken nuggets are good when your 9 and don't know any better.  Popeye's strips are 10 times as good.  And regular gas station coffee kicks better than any of Starbuck's expensive girly mixes.

My wife is the coffee drinker in the house. She claims the taste of McD's regular coffee>>Starbucks, by a considerable margin.

But she also puts 4 cream and 2 sugar in her large coffee. I'm not even sure if that is even considered coffee after doing that.

Yeah their mcnuggets somehow taste and LOOK different too lately. When it comes to fries, BK or KFC has tastier ones.

i think the same thing, at least when it comes to drip coffee.  especially after being a starbucks regular the past 2 years.  can't beat the price either.  i guess the McD taste test thing paid off.

And Starbucks' response?

"McDonalds' coffee tastes like shit"

And this is how coffee goes in terms of quality

1. Local coffee shops
2. Starbucks
3. Home






100000000. McDonalds and gas stations with their shitty shitty shitty fucking coffee from the depths of coffee hell.

Starbucks espresso is way better after their nationwide back to standards training. The new Pike's Place drip coffee they've got is less burnt than their standard swill, but it's nothing to write home about either. McDonalds drip is just as good IMO, and probably a good 50 cents less for a small cup.

Haven't tried McDonalds' espresso. i probably should before their machines and training inevitably go to shit.

I am not a big coffee drinker but McDonalds iced coffee is pretty darn good.

Top 3 in the coffee served cold

1. Dairy Queen Carmel, French Vanilla or Mocha Moolatte
2. Sonic Java Chiller
3. McD Iced Coffee

Holy shit, bdoughty... that's a name from the NeoGAF past. Fuck Starbucks coffee, tastes too burnt... even their chai tea tastes burnt, and their other drinks are waaaaaay too sweet. Local coffee houses are still the best, I'm so glad I've found a few back home, although they're no where near as prolific as they were when I lived in Buffalo.
