      It’s because they aren’t sized to her face and adjusted by an optimist when she gets them because they are from glassesUSA.

    I worked at McDonald’s for my first job when I was barely 15. A lot of employees would take a heaping spoonful of the reconstituted onions and add it to a little cup of mayo and mix it together to make a dip for fries. It is very rich, but also pretty delicious for being such a simple combination.

    I worked at McD's many years ago(1997/8 to 2004). The recon onions are sweeter then the fresh ones. The apples slices have been around for a long time(late 90's to early 2000's). They have a bit of extra tang because they are treated with lemon juice wash to keep them fresher.

    Your door latch works perfectly fine as a bottle opener. It’s great that you did this taste test but it also makes me sad because of the price. Everything that they’ve used cost much much less then meat. The impossible products are good but very much overpriced. As it’s still considered a Niche market. also funny. I’m not sure that they’re trying to compare their burger with McDonald’s I think they’re just making a Interesting marketable vegan Restaurant. Although I’ve never had a McDonald’s burger or any Burger that’s not veg. In 6 decades The smell of a mcd happy meal Is really nice :-)

      Burger King's Impossible Whopper is pretty much the standard for how those should be made, it really is a 1:1 deal.
      As for the price, considering that I can get a regular combo with 10 dollars, this isn't /terrible/ but it's not quite as ideal as it should be, I will agree there.

    The apple slices have definitely been around for longer than a decade. My brother has never been a fan of potatoes (yes, even fries and chips!) so when McDonald's introduced the apple dippers (they used to come with a caramel sauce) that became his go-to. The last time either of us had a Happy Meal was probably around 2005-2007, so it's probably been nearly TWENTY years since they came out with the apple slices!

    It's really interesting that when you were pregnant you wanted food that comforted you which was your childhood memory of McDonald's as I have a similar story. I've been ill since I was a child and went through many procedures, surgeries etc and my parents always got me McDonald's (chocolate sundae and chips which I dunk in the ice cream and still do at age 44). As an adult I still get McDonald's after any medical procedure. This went awry when I had my wisdom teeth out and tried to eat the fries dipped into my sundae but ended up just eating the sundae. We didn't get takeaways/fast food except in the case of health issues so I associate fast food as a treat and rarely have it.
