Cross-posted from “Too Bad, So Sad, Too Late - McDonald’s tells U.S. restaurants it’s not a ‘political brand’ after Trump visit” by @[email protected] in [email protected]


Excerpt:

Though President Donald Trump visited a Pennsylvania McDonald’s location on Sunday, the fast-food giant is trying to stay neutral in the presidential race.

“As we’ve seen, our brand has been a fixture of conversation in this election cycle. While we’ve not sought this, it’s a testament to how much McDonald’s resonates with so many Americans. McDonald’s does not endorse candidates for elected office and that remains true in this race for the next President,” the company said in an internal message viewed by CNBC and confirmed by a source familiar with the matter.


I haven’t eaten at a McDonalds since before covid, and I don’t really miss it.

    Their sausage mcgriddles are a guilty pleasure of mine from time to time.

      Eggo used to make waffles with “built in” syrup. A breakfast sandwich made with those as the bread is a close approximation, imo. Plus, you can use better cheese

      They’re as delicious as they are bad for you lol, but yeah, I get that.

      I can make a passable facsimile of them at home as an occasional treat.
