I live too far away to walk, if I did walk I would end up in a calorie deficit from doing so and actually lose weight. You wouldn't want me to become an anorexic now would ya.

Most people go for either the chicken or the beef, I don't think there would be much demand for the liver :p:p.

Jesus, how far away do you live? There's 1350 calories in a Big Mac meal.

I live about 2 mile away, and I only have large fries and chicken nuggets. I don't like all the sh1t they put on burgers like ketchup and mayo and garlic and onions.

And in Korea. You might have to move to Asia if you want your McD's delivered.

Supermacs delivers and their chips are much better than McDonalds. Though nothing beats McDonagh's chips or Homeplate's chips in Galway.

JupiterKid

I can think of two main reasons why they don't do a delivery service...

One, they are making more than enough money and hence profit from their current operations. They don't need to deliver thier food, so they don't.

Two, if you've ever got a take away, especially from MaccyDs, and had to reheat it it's bloody awful. Fast food just doesn't keep the same way a Chinese, Indian or even a Pizza will. Hence burger based fast food isn't really suited to a delivery service.

Mind you I wouldn't have said no to a whopper delivered to my door last night!:pac:

anorange

Yeah, in Korea McDonalds, and I think, my local KFC deliver too. But surely there's a better chipper in your area that'll deliver some big fat greasy chips to ya anyway. Why bother with Mcdonalds/Burger King/KFC?

That's pretty much it...though I have to wonder, considering the super heat proof boxes that pizzas get delivered in these days, how come McDonalds don#t consider this?

only a culchie would say that! some mc donalds and burger king deliver in the states, but i couldnt see myself ordering from them if they did over here their food go's cold really quick so it sitting in a car for 10 to 15 mins wouldn't be doing it any favours!

Hahaha...'To Hell Or Supermacs!'

wyndham

The food doesn't keep at all. The size of the fries makes them go cold rapidly.

The important question in this thread is why is the OP asking about a fast food delivery at 6 in the morning?

dory

McDonalds and Subway in India deliver.

I really don't get how people can eat any of that crap..

Chips are made from flour and water, very little potato....only around 30-40% beef in the burgers, the rest being minced up cartiledge, muscle, testicles with flavour enhancers..

No wonder we are a nation of overweight, ugly, lazy fuc.kers...

If you are gonna spend 10e or so on a meal may I suggest..

http://www.green19.ie/menu.html

Best value restaurant in the country..

Although Fast Food junkies probably won't even know what most of this food even is.

Enough with the food snobbery! Anyone eating McDs on a regular basis probably needs to have a check-up, buit there is nothing wrong with indulging once in a while. There something incredibly satisfying about a Big Mac and fries.

I mean, usually I wont let anything other than a 1978 Chateau <insert fancy frenchname here> pass my lips, but occasionally i like to knock back a flaming sambuca, preferably off the nipples of a 50 dollar hooker.

mike65

Cos there are not enough Honda 50s in the country to sustain such a service.

mconigol

They do in Thailand too....and I've been to several other countries where they do too...possibly Turkey but I'm not sure.

Anyway why would you bother, I don't think they could compete with the take aways here to be honest.

krudler

Their chips get cold on the walk from the counter to your booth in one of their restaraunts, they'd be ice cold after a car journey.

With all the chemicals and flavour enhancers in fast food the "incredibly satisfying" feeling probably comes from these.

It might feel great munching into a super size meal but how great or satisfied do you feel half an hour after eating? Usually you feel pretty crap.

Same as taking any drug...fun at the time but feel a bit sh.it after...imho

Really?
In America perhaps.
But according to McDonalds Ireland, they use 100% potato in their chips, and 100% beef in their burgers - no additives or fillers.

Do green19 deliver?

Which flavour enhancers specifically do McDonalds use?
I can't find any reference to them.
