Ronald McDonald Put to Pasture

Maybe Ronald has already served his purpose. He was part of an
advertising campaign that, as you pointed out, lured kids in, aloong
with their parents. Those kids are now adults and are regular customers,
and they might possibly be by the juvenile represented by q clown.....
even if they still have their taste buds in their butts.

The kids are grown up and have kids of their own that they take to
McDonald's now, so indoctrination is complete.

Jack-In-The-Box grew up and made their mascot head of the company, but
I don't think McDonald's wants people to think their company head is a
clown. ;)

Ronald McDonald is actually in the hospital with a severe case of
Brain Flukes which he picked up from eating undercooked seafood in an
Asian McDonalds which served, according to a McDonalds spokeswoman,
"Some kind of weird ocean shit that those guys seem to like over
there."

We called it Gag-in-the-Bag.

My favorite fast/junk food... the "Ultimate Cheeseburger" was an absolute
must! 1,000,001 calories of fat and goodness but hey, I live. They even had
squeeze tubes of guac!!! It don't get junkier than that!

Screw In'n'Out!!!

The truth is there was a hidden scandal. Unbeknownst to McDonalds, Ronald
was kidnapped and held incommunicado in a Bolivian jail. In the meantime his
jealous nemesis and evil twin, Ruprecht McDonald, signed up as a covert
agent for Subway on the promise that he would someday replace Jared.
Ruprecht underwent plastic surgery to affix the familiar red nose and giant
feet and slid unnonticed into Ronald's job. Ruprecht was discovered planting
subliminal messages in Happy Meals intended to brainwash small children into
demanding "healthy" food from Subway. He was found out by McDonalds
security, who carried out a covert hit and then issued the notices of
Ronald's "retirement." It has been speculated that Ruprecht came to a bad
end in a set of gigantic cement shoes.

You know what fast food is good? Carl's! My opinion is based on only
one dish, but if the rest is up to that quality - it's good all over.
I took GS there a month or two ago. He ordered chicken
fingers/nuggets (whatever they're called) which turned out to be real
chicken breast meat cooked just right and the coating wasn't thick.

The dots in the post meant it had been abbreviated. You needed to
plug the part you had into Google which would have given you the
correct address. That's what I did.

Or maybe they found out that a guy dressed in a clown suit just can't
compete with what's on tv, whereas a cheap toy wrapped in plastic can
trump everything.

sf,

In L.A., we had a Carl's Jr at the end of our block. It stunk
practically 24/7.

I ate there exactly once! A bacon "western" cheeseburger. The sauce
tasted like medicine.

BLECH!!!

Best,

Andy

sf,

Yeah, it's been a while!

There Hardee's (east coast Carl's Jr.) over here. The menu isn't as
extensive as Carl's.

I won't be making a 45 mile drive to Delaware to try it. After seeing
Paris Hilton's sexy car wash commercial for Hardee's "thickburger" I was
tempted but just couldn't muster up enough enthusiasm, knowing that
Paris Hilton wouldn't be there to greet me. :(

I ran through a dozen or so of their TV commercials over at youtube.
They certainly had no trouble combining sex and gluttony in all but one
of them! Great mixed messages!

Best,

Andy

They have better burgers and better fries than the three larger ones
(McD's, BK and Wendy's) and sell real milkshakes. Here they are
called Hardee's, a chain that Carl's bought out and took from being
really awful, to being just Carl's Jr. under a different name.

Any time you get a burger with any kind of sauce on it, you're rolling
the dice. Of course you have zero cred when it comes to taste anyway.

I didn't realize Carl's wasn't nationwide! I've never heard of
Hardee's out here (who knows what goes on in SoCal), but I hear Sonic
opened in Vacaville - so anything is possible.

They're more expensive than the other three, but worth the extra money
if you're going to eat fast food anyway (AFAIC).


Thanks, I didn't know Carl's was called Hardee's on the East Coast.
