Yellow



Just about everyone knows about the big yellow M right?  We don't go here alot but when we do we all have our own favourite things to order. How is it that cheap food like this is cheaper than healthy stuff? A good question to ponder...

Today I am halfway through my working week. The days I work are Friday through to Monday but lately there has been a stack of nasty winter flu bugs doing the rounds so quite a few colleagues have been home sick. I take vitamins every day so I'm hoping that keeps me from catching the same things.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

I haven't been to a McDonalds in over a decade.

...I'm with Bill, it's been a long time since I was there.

Healthy food comes at a price. More dear and hard to access these days. A few winter flu bugs indeed.

Good luck avoiding the perils of winter. Hope you continue to stay well. I volunteer at the hospital and have managed to avoid any coughs or colds, but a tummy bug got me this week.

Hi Amy ~~ I too like the Big M but for some reason we don't stop there much anymore. I remember when they first came to Lincoln, Nebraska, the capital city of Nebraska.
Those little Match Box cars are sold all over around here, the Dollar Store and our Kroger stores both sell them for $1.25. I don't buy many but the last one is a motorcycle. Before that a 1986 Ford Mustang. Most are fairly old, I had the orange racer when I was a child.

In New Zealand used to take the four children to McDonalds occasionally particularly if it was raining because of the covered play area. It had a McCafe where I had my coffee. However it was really the whippy ice cream that I loved the most.

The big M is not very popular here. There's a Greek chain which is far more popular. But nothing of that sort here though.
Hope you don't catch any of the bugs

Like some of the other comments, I have not been in a "M" for a long time Amy but it is a good yellow for Tom's meme. I hope you have a lovely week ahead.

Burgers and that are just too yummy, so much so that premium stores open all over.
Have you heard of Grill´d, they started small but at one point the Big M got afraid of them in Australia and I look SO MUCH forward to have one again.
High quality produce and you have three options to help local community, a great concept.
I have to admit, though, my Brother took me to "Maccas" for a ... "premium burger" and it really was yummy, also! So much, I ordered one, being on my own and had to wait so long the staff offered me an ice-cream! Cause it was made fresh it took so long (sadly I don´t like sweets).

A friend of mine went to Florida for a holiday and confirmed what you say, and actually it´s even the same here in Germany. Healthy food is much more expensive than fast food.

I was in my late 40´s when I learned to cook and bake and I enjoy it immensly.
But yes. More expensive.
Now I crave KFC.
OR!!! I might go to the city for a freshly made burrito! Thank you for the input!! 😊

Looks like those working men just had something from McD. Nice reflections, they kinda adds some mystery to the Photo. Nice one!

Sharon said...

Yup, that giant M is everywhere.

Best to be cautious during winter weather.

We never go to the M place as a family. If I am traveling by myself I will stop and get a breakfast biscuit and I think their coffee is not bad for fast food coffee.

The odd time I've picked up breakfast items from them, but it's probably been over a decade since I had their burgers.

Thats really a long time ago I have been there.

Oh no now I have an unwanted craving. ;-)
