Maybe Ronald has already served his purpose. He was part of an advertising campaign that, as you pointed out, lured kids in, aloong with their parents. Those kids are now adults and are regular customers, and they might possibly be by the juvenile represented by q clown..... even if they still have their taste buds in their butts. |

The kids are grown up and have kids of their own that they take to McDonald's now, so indoctrination is complete. Jack-In-The-Box grew up and made their mascot head of the company, but I don't think McDonald's wants people to think their company head is a clown. -- Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground. |

Ronald McDonald is actually in the hospital with a severe case of Brain Flukes which he picked up from eating undercooked seafood in an Asian McDonalds which served, according to a McDonalds spokeswoman, "Some kind of weird ocean shit that those guys seem to like over there." |

My opinion is based on only one dish, but if the rest is up to that quality - it's good all over. I took GS there a month or two ago. He ordered chicken fingers/nuggets (whatever they're called) which turned out to be real chicken breast meat cooked just right and the coating wasn't thick. -- Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground. |

They're more expensive than the other three, but worth the extra money if you're going to eat fast food anyway (AFAIC). > Here they are > called Hardee's, a chain that Carl's bought out and took from being > really awful, to being just Carl's Jr. under a different name. Thanks, I didn't know Carl's was called Hardee's on the East Coast. -- Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground. |
