I Am Mourning the Loss of Something I Loved: McNuggets
This seems like it could be the ultimate Fat Whore thread.
[quote] Have you experienced the magic of McDonald’s Sprite? With its electric spice, its zhush, its je ne sais quoi, it is, of course, supreme among all sugary drinks, a star in the great firmament of processed foods.
[quote] I grew up loving processed foods: There’s the kind in a can (SpaghettiOs, Chef Boyardee, Vienna Sausage) and the kind in a cardboard box or plastic container (the many varieties of Hamburger Helper or instant ramen). There’s the fresh kind (McDonald’s and KFC, Popeyes and Burger King, Domino’s, Pizza Hut and Little Caesars) and there’s the frozen kind (Tyson and Totino’s, Gorton’s, Swanson and Ore-Ida, frozen finger foods and full-on meals). And there’s fancy-ish processed food of the Red Lobster or Olive Garden or LongHorn Steakhouse variety, and there’s less fancy processed food, like chicken wings from 7-Eleven or hot dogs or burritos or insert-your-regional-specialty-here from the convenience store down the street....

I don't know what McDonald's does to Sprite but it does taste differently, and it also tends to upset my stomach. More carbonation in the mix is my guess.

Here's the op-ed without the paywall, for anyone who really wants to hear a 20-something talk about junk food.

[quote]I’m fundamentally happy to now live a life where I not only understand references to the madeleine in Proust but have actually eaten one (and at a writing class in the South of France, no less).
[quote]But I am mourning the loss of something I loved — I wish eating a McNugget could still transport me to a time of warmth and love and safety, a time when I didn’t know what a madeleine was, when I didn’t know any better.
I love that the NYT is now publishing "tee hee, aren't I a scamp?" clickbait from obnoxious little shits who have nothing of import to say. That's great. Certainly bodes well for society as a whole, I should think.

Lol the orangic versions of these probably all taste how we want these crappy versions to. And if it’s organic, it’s healthy.

Spaghetti 0s? Tastes of the sweetener used to prepare this wretched food. Foul, pasty mess.
