The older I've gotten the less often I frequent fast food joints. It's not just an 'eat healthier' thing with me (truth to tell, it never was). I just don't stop in as often anymore (I think one time in the last year and that was to have breakfast, not even a lunch or dinner meal).
I mean at one point in my life I used to live on their offerings but I watch commercials on TV for any of the major chains and I have close to no clue what would attract anyone to eat there. And judging from a recent news release about an about-to-be-added menu item at Mickey D's maybe Ronald and the guys are sort of stumped as well.
Speaking of which, whatever happened to Ronald McDonald, anyway? Apparently, this is what happened. I'm guessing instead of a gold watch they gave him some golden french fries (I do love their fries and their hash browns).
The McFlurry offered at many locations comes from the same ice cream machines that have been a source of vexation for many years for many McDonald's franchisees. It might be worth grabbing some popcorn and camping out near a McDonald's starting Tuesday just to see how this all works out.
