“McDo”

I found this article fitting since I ate at Mickey D’s today for lunch with the fam…That makes twice in the past week (even though the first time I just had some fries) and I hardly ever eat fast food anymore. 

Here ye! Here ye! I will only give myself 15 times at McDo my whole time here and that includes drunk food…

Anyway, so the big news for the fickle French is McDonald’s is building a restaurant in the underground “mall”, if you will, of the Louvre.  Oh la, la…Quel désastre!

Haha now I am slightly torn between being a flag-waver and wanting to adopt the French way of being outraged yet passive…but it is comical that people are aghast because they now think that Mona Lisa will wear the perfume of a deep-fryer AND that if Ronald walks through the doors it will inevitably lead to the entire degradation of the museum’s artistic, cultural, and historical preservation ambiance….Um what?

It is interesting though that the stats indicate the French consume the most McD’s out of Europeans – to which I can attest since about 1/3 of the population was in line with us at lunch today vying for that succulent Big Mac or for the herbivores out there salad and bag of fruit?…

2 more things real quick: they did have computers inside where you could pre-order (kind of like Sheetz TGO) and then go pay/get your food so you could somewhat avoid the lines – which seems like a cool system to have AND you can either get their normal fries or they sell seasoned potato wedges that are pretty tasty – I think my 3rd visit will be to check out the McFlurry flavs because I remember Ireland had siiiiick choices for those :)
