I wanted a Filet O Fish, and she thought that couldn't be right. But indeed, I ate the whole thing. I try to branch out and order something new, but the Filet still gets me every time. (it's seriously the only "fish" I'll eat -- I wish I could just get the cheese and tartar sauce on the shiny bun, but then oh, I'd be missing the crunchy greasy crustiness of the fish square) I hope my children don't start ratting ME out on my french fry drive thru stops en route to any number of errands...E...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04405932437380095945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-86742790353351072252007-12-30T18:03:00.000-06:002007-12-30T18:03:00.000-06:00I have to say that nothing brings a tear to my eye...I have to say that nothing brings a tear to my eye the way that the vintage McD commercials do.

The floor I visited had its own soda fountain dispenser just like in the restaurants that the employees were free to access at anytime for no charge.

I was actually just planning to use the facilities (as a good customer, I don't feel guilty about that), but my hubby wanted a pop. On the exit ramp, I thought to myself, "I wish McDonalds still made those cherry pies and I wished they still fried their pies not baked them." Well, what do you know. They have cherry pies now! Sure, they weren't fries, but what a Christmas miracle. As with all things, I think fast food in moderation is okay . . . at least for me and my family.mephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03074153090546740903noreply@blogger.com
