"What size death would you like with your meal sir?"

vs.

So I'm a pretty big fan of the McDonald's Value Menu, however I do have a few gripes with it, as well as the fast food industry in general so I thought I'd share yet aother one of my random rants on society with you all:
Point #1: Why is it that I can get two McDoubles, a small fry, and a huge sweet tea for $4, yet if I wanted to take the "healthy" route and get a Mcdonald's salad they wanna charge me over $5 and still get no drink?! Is it just me or is the U.S. fast food industry steadily trying to kill off Americans with fatty, yet extremely delicious, foods?
Point #2: And while we're on the topic of McDonald's fast food, who the heck decided to make the Double Cheeseburger like a buck 19 now anyway?!! I mean was it really necessary to create a new burger that is pretty much the same thing minus one slice of cheese and then call it the McDouble? Was Mcdonald's really losing that much money on cheese slices???
Point #3: If I order a large fry and then ask for some ketchup....PLEASE do not hand me two packets!! I can't stand that! What makes these people think that I'm gonna be able to devour all of these french fries with just a couple of packets of ketchup to spread over them?? Secondly...why do I even have to ask for my condiments? I remember when they used to give you condiments at fast food restaurants without even asking. I miss those, non-stingy, recession-free days when the economy was booming enough to where a man could get ketchup for his fries and not feel as though he was imposing upon the drive-thru worker in doing so. Some places even have the nerve to charge you for extra condiments. UGH!
With all that said...I will now leave you with a humorous commercial about chicken...
