>>>I sometimes wondered why I never saw cats around a Mc. They (the staff) can't be that clean to never drop any scraps of anything anywhere but in the dumpster, and keep it firmly closed at all times. I think the cats simply avoid it.

>>Happy to report that at the age of 53 I have eaten exactly 1 McBurger. Its was not very nice and I see no need to repeat..

>Same here, and pushing 57. The bun was too spongy and sticking to the teeth, the oil they use for fries was canola (which has a long tradition here as the best oil ever for railway lanterns), and the meat was a bit elusive, a kind of a phantom, didn't feel like a proper pljeskavica (patty) should... but the worst part was reading the menu and making a choice. Whatever you choose, you get that nagging feeling there must be something you'll be sorry for. But that was in the previous century, within the first six hours after landing on the US soil (aka concrete), and was probably a part of our host's social experiment... because he's been here, ate what we ate, and figured he'd hear some interesting comments when we encounter the big icons of american junk food culture (you pick which words are adjectives to which nouns among the last four). We never heard what were the results of the experiment, and with no way to repeat it, lacking the observer, we gave up on that discipline of science (if any) and never repeated it.

>Funny, though, they serve coke et al unbottled - from a dispenser. Which is, I'm about 99% sure, hooked to the local water pipes. Now the same industry says the tap water isn't good enough to drink, buy bottled, and yet that same bad water is good enough for mixing soda on the spot? Specially coke, which is soooo sensitive to any changes in its recipe... and yet they don't really care how's the water? ("how" here is in lieu of the sorely missing word for "what quality"-"what kind"-"how good" that exists in most other languages).

In the otherwise bad movie "Ghost Rider - Spirit of Vengeance" there was one laugh-out-loud scene. One of the villains gets turned into a demon, and gains the power of decay. If he touches opponents' weapons, they turn to rust. Wood disintegrates to dust.

After one demanding fight, he takes a break. He sits in an abandoned pickup truck, and discovers a bag lunch. He pulls out a sandwich and banana, and sighs as they rot away. Then he finds a Twinkie - unwraps it, nothing happens. Shrugs, stuffs it in his mouth and eats it.

I know, it would have been even funnier if it had killed him :)
