    They put a drug in it to make you crave it fortnightly!

    Probably a combination of sugar and msg in different parts.

    I find fast food burgers to be pretty boring - the flavor is kind of flat, simple.

    My homemade ones are great because I use a spice mix for burgers (a copy of one Williams Sonoma used to sell, that has things like Worcestersher powder, garlic, onion, thyme, mustard powder, etc).

      I have heard, tho I don’t know if its true, that McDonald’s injects the beef patties with beef broth to make it taste meatier. I will say, working there, the pickles smell extra pickle-y and have a much stronger flavor than any store brand I’ve ever had (never made my own so can’t compare there). And they are also super bright green. Like almost neon. Their food also makes me feel full off a smaller portion of food than anywhere else, which I’ve questioned numerous times.

      If anyone is doing weird shit with their food chemically, it’s McDonald’s.
