McDonalds run out of milkshakes in Brexit UK

It's not exactly the four horsemen of the apocalypse riding the plains is it?
Disease, War, Pestilence, Shortage of milk shakes.

This is, without doubt, my favourite of the current Pro Brexit defence mechanisms. I don't know if it's a joke, or what, but I honestly can't believe a brexitist doesn't know how ridiculous this defence sounds.

We've gone from "Sunlit uplands" to "Oh we are only running out of certain types of foodstuff"

It's honestly staggering to me that a brexitist can say this and not quite get that it's kind of proving how much of a disaster brexit is. If its champions have to defend food shortages and see that as a positive. Crazy man, crazy
 
I am always surprised at the qs to get into McDonalds - The food is poor and not cheap for what you get. Lots of calories, lots of sugar and salt - there have been 25 years of health warnings. All the directors at one time had died before they were 60 after regularly lunching on McDonalds. It shows the power of excessive sugar, salt and fat to our taste buds coupled with mass advertising and of course our laziness.
 
A lot of it is 'first world problems'.

However, it's voters in the first world that elect the government at any time.

I think they'll try and wing it as much as possible; retailers are wary of blaming Brexit because they worry about upsetting customers who might be upset. I am not sure of that theory to be honest, but it does seem to prevail and it allows the government to hide behind industry.

They may well think that even loosening the rules regards EU drivers may not help sufficiently so have disregarded it as a solution.

I'm not a brexiter. I'm a did not vote. I have never claimed sunlit uplands. I did not know what would happen and still do not.

The arguments on fmttm rarely get beyond a d*ck measuring contest. There's nothing to be learned. No enlightenment to be had. So it's fun to mock. Who knows. Things may get much much worse. But you don't advance your argument by putting forward such piffling trifles. It has the opposite effect. I say this as someone whose mind is there to be won.

It's familiarity like a lot of FMCG products.

If you can go to over 1200 locations across the country and you will essentially get the same product that you recognise and trust then there's no surprise that people go into them a lot. They are savvy enough to offer healthier options that you don't see in smaller competitors. Laziness plays a part no doubt but it's a 'safe' option for a lot of people. They're usually fairly well organised, clean and professionally ran.

And your a salad muncher no doubt. You stick to that ***** son and enjoy it
 
I used to eat in McDonalds once a week and be desperate for a chocolate bar after coming out. I was quite an early adapter taking my first Big Mac in 1985 in Shrewsbury after Boro won 2-0 to stay up. I stopped eating them in 2008, but still can feel a craving 13 years on.

Watching the Film "SuperSize Me" definitely changed me. I could see myself in the main character.

How come you wanted chocolate after you revealed you were gay?
