McDonalds: All over the world!

hey, one of my Indian friends says Urdu and Hindi is almost the same language, is it true you guys can understand each other talking easily?

Absolutely! When I say M-A-C-D-O-N-A-L-D-S in Urdu, my Hindu friend understands me without my needing to translate. Amazing, ain’t it?! 😉

But seriously, Hindi and Urdu are half-sister languages. The writing styles are different (Urdu using Arabic script while Hindi using Sanskrit). In addition, Urdu uses some Persian, Arabic and Turkish words for nouns/adjectives while Hindi again, relies on Sanskrit for these. Other than that, since the base is the same (Hindustani), the speakers of both languages can understand each other’s essential language.

Here’s MacDonalds in both Urdu and Hindi:
میکڈونالڈز
मैकडौनल्डस

Well I got to MacDonalds at least once a week (usually when it’s my turn to cook and there no proper food in the house!), I have to walk miles for my work, so I guess I walk it off, my kids are not obese, they are very fit, active and healthy.

I went through a phase of losing weight, went to the docs and got asked the usual questions about diet etc…. upshot was the doc was amazed with me, I eat all the wrong food, smoke and drink and his phrase to describe me was ‘disgustingly heathly’

I don’t agree with all this health food being forced on us, some of us actually need fats, sugars and other ‘nasty’ stuff!

If you don’t eat junk food and refrain from smoking or drinking, when you die you’ll be the healtiest person in the cemetary

Heck no! That’s some uncle who would’nt get out of the way! 😀

that mcdonalds is pretty big. Is that you?

Karachi McDonald’s

As a side note – i never ask them to put mayo on my subs.

Fats are not bad fo ryou. Nothing we eat is reall ybad, except in
large quantities. The archaic human diet probably consisted of lots
of softer veggies, fruits and meats. Nobody was harvesting grain in
significant amounts before civilization, and our jaws are certainly not
suited to tough vegetation. Fat was probably THE best thing to get
a hold of when we were running around barea$$ed with sharp
sticks and rock tools.

A McDonald’d burger is extremely nutritous, and, in our current
world, TOO nutritious, for a good diet. All that fat’s perfectly ok,
from time to time. Of course, back then , when we’d eat the
equivilant to a half-pound burger (the weight, not the price!), we’d
probably chased after it, killed it, cut it up and cooked it. Not so
much energy involved in even RUNNING to the nearest Drive thru,
let alone walking 20 ft. to the car, driving a mile away, and driving
back home…

These foods are very good for us in moderation – that’s why we are
programmed to like them so much. Whipped cream, mostly fat,
with a bit of sugar, is about the best thing on earth. People crave
fatty foods. A 22 ounce slab of medium rare prime rib is so good
because of the fat.

It’s no surprise why everyone on the planet knows what
McDonald’s is, and so few know about Sweet Tomatos.

Subway sells it’s food as healthy, but is it really? Hell no. 90% of
the people that go to subway are no better off than they would have
been at McDonalds. A foot long sub, with mayo*, oil an dvinegar,
cheese, meat, etc. has far more calories (and comprable fat) than a
Big Mac. That’s why Subway is in buisness, not cause of 6″ turkey
subs with cheese and lettuce.
* I have seen people put indecent amounts of mayonaise on their
subs. I swear some people will put 3/4 of a cup of it on a 12″ sub.
I worked at an Applebee’s a few years back – some people are too
much. A fat girl gets “Just a salad”, cause she’s trying to lose
weight… So I give her her salad with a large cup of ranch – figuring
she looked the type… and she needed TWO more – that’s more
than a cup of ranch! We sold these pork riblets (not technically
ribs, but tasty), smothered in BBQ sauce. I had one guy get two
additional cups of the stuff ( totaling over 10 oz. of the stuff), pour it
on th eribs, then he “buttered” them with mayo (about a half cup),
and THN, he dipped them into a cup of Ranch dressing! As if the
ribs weren’t bad enough!

Some people (usually the rednecks and inner city folk) will always
double the condiments put on their food. I have seen people eat a
half pound burger with a quarter cup of mayo, and BUTTER,
BUTTER people!

Now, I’ll gorge myself on barbecue every once in a while, smother
the stuff in sauce, but some people do this way too
often…especially with mayonaise.. it gets really gross. makes me
sick thinking about it.

^good one.. I knew my McDonald’s thread would be more popular than that Pakistan one 😉

Nice pic. Too bad there’s something flying over it!

lol, j/k.
Really nice cool blue livery.

Can i just post a pic!
K. No cars, fishermen live there, and look whats on the main street there!

Damn them!

great pic.. but hey, it’s logical. Fishermen need to eat, after all, where else will they get the energy to get the meat for McDonald’s “Filet O-Fish”.

like in the picture.. in the 3rd world, a McDonalds is probably the most modern looking building in the area!! 😮

I really do love Harry Ramsden.. 😉

😮 The Cafe, not the man!!!

Can i just post a pic!

This was on my holiday in Hong Kong 3 weeks sgo, on an island called Cheung Chau, 20 miles easy of HK. No cars, fishermen live there, and look whats on the main street there!

Damn them!

why wash dishes when a washing machine can do it,

Crikey – I’d hate to eat off your plates! 😉

I also havent had Mc donalds for quite some time however my reasons are different – for availability of better fast food.! Id take wendys,rallys burgers and inn out(on da west coast) anyday over Mc donalds ( they still know how to make the best fries though),

Agreed on the fact that there are better fast food joints out there! I’d rather have Taco Bell or Burger King even over McDonald’s! 😀

I’ve gotten sick more often from eating McDonalds than I have any other fast food. I can’t say for sure that it is in fact the food they serve, but for some odd reason, my body reacts to McDonalds each time. I should mention that it is the only fast food I react to as I do enjoy making a run for the border from time to time. Others such as Burger King, Dairy Queen and Arby’s have no effect om me at all. Strange but because of this I have not had McDonalds in a few years now!

^that’s the smartest thing i’ve read so far

I’m constantly amazed at how people complain about McDonalds
being unhealthy. It’s fast food, geared towards taste and speed.
People coplain that they’ve gotten fat from eating there, and have
tried to sue them. the thing is these people are to stupid to
understand that your diet is up to you, and if you eat crap constantly,
you’ll show it.

I eat fast food more often than I should. A few times a week.
Usually Bojangles on the weekend, and chick-fil-a once a week for
lunch. Maybe a burger thrown in every two weeks. I gained more
weight when I moved back in with my parents after graduating, and
I was being fed home made pasta and sauce.

People that eat out most of the time should know better.

This brings up something I’ve wanted to ask you Europeans… I’ll
post another topic.
