Angus was the only sandwich I’d buy from McDonalds.

Their other products might as well be relabeled ‘roadkill meat’.

The few times I tried them, they were juicer [not as dry] as the standard quarter pounder. I could never finish one.

The lemon blueberry bread was very good. That's gone now too.

They just eliminated any reason for me to eat at McDonald’s again.

I actually thought they were dry, atleast the ones I had. I had a double cheeseburger from McD’s the other day and it tasted like a piece of cardboard. They need to get their act together.

I quit buying “Big Macs” because the “meat” “patties” could be covered with the bottom of a medium drink cup.

I already avoid McD’s. This will make my trips there even less frequent.

I quit going there long ago. I quit because everything looks good, but tastes like cardboard. The buns, the meat, even their fries (try tasting them after about a half hour)....

Angus Third Pounders were the only thing on menu that tasted like it was made with real meat. On a good day a double quarter pounder was ok.

its not like they were anything that great.

I tried them- I wished I had just gotten a burger or two at half the price

So now the menu consists solely of putrid crap held together with grease, and loaded with sugar and/or salt. The McDonald’s around me is a pit. Dirty, garbage overflowing, horrible food. I don’t know how it stays in business.

Sad. That was the only decent thing McDonald’s had. It actually almost tasted like a real burger.

Eating at McDonald’s is a habit formed from Happy Meals days. People have developed an acquired taste for McDonald’s food.
