anyone work at McDonalds?

[doyle369]

if you do... how many grams of onions go on reg buns (hamburgers/cheeseburgers) and Big macs?

 

[Lancelot]

That was my first job 11 years ago. I worked for them for 10 weeks.

But I can't answer your question, sorry.

 

[Spock]

Strange question! Why don't you buy one and reverse engineer it

 

[Bruvver]

Strange question! Why don't you buy one and reverse engineer it

That means, take it apart.



Anybody asking the question might have problems working it out without explanation.

 

[thetime22]

Maybe he works at McDonalds and doesn't want to ask his manager?

 

[Richie N]

I can't see anyone weighing up each time they have to put onions on a burger, after all this is fast food

Not enough

 

[ben0727945311]

its about 2 or 3 little rings, not measure just a small pinch sometimes i only get one.

i dont work at MC D but i have eaten there and i always take my food apart to check for things that shouldnt be there.

 

[MASSEY]

I didn't know they put oinions on them, so it can't be that many.

 

[LicensedToTrade]

They put onions on them?

That explains all the unnecessary trips to the hospital then. That or the generally poor level of personal hygiene from the chap serving.

[FONT=&quot]Be good if Muck Donald’s had the promo poster photographer to cook the food as well as take the pictures of it – then it would taste as good as it looks! Rather than the washed out rancid poo that it currently tastes like! [/FONT]

 

[Saxon Heights]

Used to work then when I was at college.

It was 15 pieces of the rehydrated onions on the reg or mac i think.

I often work IN McD's. good to stop there as freeparking, free toilets, free newspapers, free Wi Fi , when I say free it costs me a cup of coffee when I'm on the road. I can confirm there doesn't appear to be any onion in the coffee.

 

[crphillips]

I really don't understand who buys food there? I mean why? It tastes of nothing and isn't cheap either. When a retail park has a KFC, Burger King and McD's how do McD's get any business as it's the worst by far out of the three. I'd rather eat my own toe!

 

[dynamic08]

Its the cheapest out of the 3.

Its also the only one you can go to and understand the person that is serving you.

 

[lyndonio]

Is that some casual racism there? You really do show yourself up with some of your coments!

 

[crphillips]

I'd rather buy some chicken from a Pakistani than a McD from a brit!

 

[HFE Signs]

Last time I had one it was about 1 teaspoon of onions, a steam rolled burger and something wet like mayo, still it tasted ok oh and a bit of green stuff to get some of your 5 a day..

 

[BT-COMMUNICATIONS]

I think the onions you refer to OP, aren't actually onions at all!!!

ste

 

[uklfstyle]

I worked there too but I can't answer that question :-??

It would seem to be 1 teaspoon and they are reconstituted

These recipies seema little out of date now, but are the original McD's recipies until the 70's (MSG )

I guess it must be something in the "special flavouring" that makes it addictive. I've never seen so many overweight people in one place at the the same time. The sight of a clinically obese parent stuffing their poor little one's face with the garbage boils my blood

I do have to admit to the occasional treat of a McD big breakfast with loads of their bbq sauce on (scrambled eggs a toasted muffin and a sausage pattie about 4 times a year). At one time in my life I virtually lived on the stuff and the stuff was the ONLY thing that could satisfy the craving x

 

[Davek0974]

The only time i have ever had food poisoning was from a mcd's fish burger Absolutely shat myself for five days on that one, tests came back as food poisoning and they reported the place to health services!

Good side was that i lost 1-1/2stone :redface:

Exact same thing happened to a friend of mine with the same burger

Have you put the 1-1/2 stone back on yet x

Yes i had a few big macs and that sorted it

We only have mcd's about three times a year now, it makes me so thirsty for the rest of the day. Probably bad salt levels in it.

Prefer cafe / pub for food these days or cook it myself, only fast food we have is fish & chips and chinese sometimes when i can afford it

I must admit that I am quite partial to a double cheeseburger when I've been out the night before, just something about it takes the edge off the hangover, don;t know why!

They put onions in the double cheeseburger, but not many, probably a equal to about a teaspoon worth, something like that.

By the way, I don't think fast food is solely to blame for obesity, sure, it doesn't help, but I used to be a bit of a fast food junkie and I stayed a size 10 for many years. I'm a 12 now though! I think what is important is to balance out your intake of rubbish calories and your sedentary lifestyle with regular exercise, a cliche I know, but it's a winning formula.

Having said that, I do more exercise now than I have ever done, and I am the biggest I have ever been - go figure!

McD's Big Mc, fries and orange juice is a perfect hangover cure ... not sure what else is in it but it quickly replaces the salts and sugars you lose due to de-hydration ... the orange juice gives you the vitamin C also lost .

As for your other complications Becky ... google Zoe Harcombe x

I dont think its fast food per se, but more the sheer volume of availability of it and the media that is to blame for the obesity trend.

Every single high street has multiple chip, kebab, chicken, chip, chinese, pizza, sandwich and so on outlets on it now, its a dream to find a place that has none of them, i feel that 90% of these shops are unnesessary and just cashing in on people with a food problem.

The media are to blame for gloryfying the junk to children and parents who may not have the time to prepare decent meals all the time. I have seen many instances too where children grap a bag of chips on the way home from school and then get a proper meal too - instant weight trouble ahead.

Personally i think we should go back to WW2 food rationing for a couple of years, see how fast the weight comes off then!! Also grow your own is coming back, cant be bad.

Its the same for the alcohol trend. Once a many moons ago, the only places you could get alcohol was a pub with off-sales or an off-license. Now you can get it in every shop on the street practically. My point of view is that if you shove something in peoples faces enough, they WILL buy it eventually, its not good.

Hi,

If this is still out of interest:

Big Mac- Dehydrated onions 7g
Quarter Pounder - Fresh onions 7g
Hamburger/ Cheeseburger – Dehydrated onions 3.5 g
Double Cheeseburger – Dehydrated onions 3.5 g

 

[drdmt]

about 1.0g

Half a teaspoon of minced onion

Worked at McDos for 3 months, hey its a job

 

[jhardy2008]

sound technical

 

[stukie99]

I worked as a staff trainer 4 years ago, then it was a pinch of diced onion for cheese and hamburgers, for quarter pounders and promotional items it would be larger onion slices, again a pinch full.

Random question!!
