    I think it ultimately comes down to most convenient and least terrible. Like McDonald’s is not good by any stretch of the imagination, but they’re everywhere and you mostly know what you’re getting. I find that some locations don’t know the difference between a chocolate shake and a chocolate malt, and if you ask for the former, you always get the latter. Why McDonald’s even offers malts is beyond me (malts are superior to shakes IMO, but not everyone likes the grainy texture… if you know Maltesers or Whoppers candy, it’s the stuff inside, but powder, that’s malted milk, and making shakes with malted milk (Malts) is awesome). But I’ve only been to two that do it. (Maybe they just ordered the wrong right shake mix.)

      I’d rather eat out of a toilet to be honest. I could get good food for that money from the supermarket next door.

        Jealous. If only that were true everywhere. Supermarkets suck here…or cost a fortune or both

        I’d still rather eat from a trashcan than mcdonalds

        Edit: actually thinking about it, there is a fantastic falaffel place in oslo, i guess that would count as favorite. At the very least anything that isnt a chain

          Where I live it’s not so much that supermarkets are cheap and good, more that McDonalds is expensive and bad, but there seems to be a myth that they’re cheap. I’ve been to Oslo actually, was pretty expensive there, is McDonalds cheap in Norway?
