chained_bear I believe they now have "Big Kids' meals" (unless that's Burger King I'm thinking of), which would include a double hamburger/double-cheeseburger, or probably more nuggets.
As a simple, inexpensive way to make your child fatter and even more unhealthy... And of course if you order it and you're not a child, it's only slightly smaller than the adult versions (if at all). Mar 25, 2009
skipvia Sorry, yarb. It's been a long time since I visited a McDonalds... Mar 25, 2009
yarb Actually Skip, I believe there's no such thing as a "Big Mac Happy Meal". A Happy Meal is aimed at children (though enjoyed by diners of all ages) and is typically available with hamburger, cheeseburger or Chicken McNuggets. The Big Mac can be purchased a la carte or as part of a Big Mac Meal. Mar 25, 2009
chained_bear *actually likes Big Macs*
*slinks away in shame* Mar 25, 2009
skipvia How depressing, bilby. Add two all beef patties (god, I hate that word) and a drink (supersize!) and you've got yourself a Big Mac Happy Meal. Mar 25, 2009
chained_bear Iceberg lettuce is a tool of the devil. Mar 25, 2009
sionnach Iceberg lettuce? I hope this is not being suggested as one of the ten most compelling reasons to eat more like a vegetarian. Now, a little endive salad with pear, walnuts and gorgonzola, that's a different matter entirely. Mar 25, 2009
yarb Wot no rutabaga?
I notice that four of the five vegetables that Americans eat most are present in a burger and fries.
And since when have "French fries" been a vegetable in their own right? Mar 25, 2009
reesetee And did you know that vegetables are fresh fruits (Definition 2)? But sadly, they are only one vegetable. Mar 25, 2009
vanishedone I can cope with WeirdNet #1 and #3's love of disjunction, but 'numerous herbaceous plant'? Who else uses plant as a mass noun? Mar 25, 2009
bilby "The number-one reason for eating a plant-rich diet is that it tastes good. The five vegetables that Americans eat most are French fries, tomatoes (mostly as sauce or ketchup), onions, iceberg lettuce, and other potatoes."
