He's going to run from prison and he's gonna get like 170 electoral votes
8Well who is he running against?
? Even Hilary could beat him, our big wet boy would win easily. We all lose either way3I don't agree with this take that he would win against the guy who already beat him when he has the stink of a loser on him and lacks incumbency.

Based on empirical evidence we known this meme has some truth to it!

1Have big Macs changed? I'm a vegetarian so I hadn't had one in like 5 years. Wife was out of town so I grabbed one for myself and it tested... Artificial. Like I know there's a lot of crap and preservatives in them but there's always been, maybe they just taste so different now cause I'm not used to them.
1Big Macs, long ago, were much bigger. The bun and patty circumference were those of the Quarter Pounder (although the patty thickness was still along the lines of the regular hamburger patty). At some point, McDonald's reduced the size of the Big Mac to match the circumference of the regular hamburger. This allowed them to not have to supply special Big Mac patties, as they could then use the same patties from the hamburger. I suspect that "Supersize Me" movie had something to do with it, too.
Anyway, this changed the bun:other ingredients ratio, making the sandwich more bread-centric than before. I believe this is what makes the flavor more "neutral." Occasionally, they'll bring back the Grand Mac, which is a Big Mac using the large bun, and two Quarter Pounder patties. This sandwich is closer to the original, but it's more meat-centric - more than the modern Big Mac and the original Big Mac. It's closer to the original, but still not the same.
5All good points, but another big contributor here is flame retardants and packaging additives. Also, heating things in plastic containers. These come into play at various stages of ingredient prep/storage/shipping and during final prep, packaging and delivery to the consumer.
The boxes and paper used to wrap your burgers, fries, nuggets, various sandwiches, pizza, most food, are loaded with those PFAS chemicals and others designed to prevent fires near the grills and ovens, as well as help them stand up to grease, etc.
There's also several recent studies about micro/nano-plastics resulting from microwaving/heating in plastic containers.
More and more, anywhere you eat, the flavors of the packaging has become more and more pronounced over the years, in many cases over riding the flavors of the foods themselves. Surely, none of it is good for you.
It seems more and more difficult to avoid unless you're preparing food from unprocessed ingredients at home. There's just too much pressure at restaurants to deliver quickly. Especially, at your drive thru friendly establishments such as McD's etc.
3This is a common misconception due to the fact that the bun for the Big Mac was a lot bigger back in the day. In fact, Big Macs were made with the smaller hamburger patties well before Supersize Me. I worked there in the late 90s and we used the smaller hamburger patties back then. My mom worked there when I was a kid in the early 80s and they were using the smaller patties then, too. In my lifetime, I've never seen a Big Mac made with anything other than the small hamburger patties. And just to check myself, when looking online, I can't find any references to the burger patties being bigger going all the way back to its launch in 1967, while some sources state that the burger has been mostly unchanged, aside from the bun size and the recipe for the Mac sauce, for its entire existence.
