What would the point be in telling them it didn't exist? They were locked up. It's not like they would say "Oh fair enough, McDonalds was the only reason I didn't like it in here"! Or am I missing something?
Could you belive Fritzl could be any more evil? Page 2
He was an evil bastard?
Does the kid know David Hasslehoff actually exists?
Who?
Joke.
My parents didn't ever let me go to McDonalds either!
(But they didn't lock me in a cellar.)
I reckon there MAY be a tiny psychological link with the childhood McDonalds ban and the fact that I now am in my twenties and love eating Happy Meals.

They're not filling enough! I make my own special 'sandwich' when I go there. (No innuendo etc intended.)
A Happy Meal fills me right up! Is perfect size. Too many fries otherwise, and I end up chucking them.
The first time I went to McDs I was about 12! I've been so deprived!

To be fair, I don't remember when I first went to a McDonald's, it might have been that same sort of age - the ones around where I live were all so skanky at the time (literally, moreso than is inherent) that we always had Burger King if going for that kind of food.
And I mean, come on. In Burger King you get a f**king CROWN! No Happy Meal can better that.
I seem to remember I liked their donuts when I was at uni. And you got free Homer Simpson toys with them!
I'm all about the free toys.
I remember when KFC did toys in their children's meals... *sigh*
Them were the days, lass. Them were the days.
I've never been big into McDonald's. I think it's because I fear all the little scallies who work there probably spit on the food.
I remember Simon Day, from The Fast Show, said he used to work in the very first McDonald's in Britain, back in 1979. He said the staff back then, was mostly made up of women in their 50s and 60s.
KFC still do, I got a cuddly fried rat in my last bucket
I hope it was a toy.
Salt, monsodium glutamate and evil.
Rule of 3!
The gravy is particularly tempting, in a glutinously wrong way.
I could be more sympathetic to Fritzell if he brought the occaisonal bucket down to the cellar.
I don't remember KFC ever doing gravy. Then again, I haven't been there since about 2001.
Oh they do. Not since 2001, anything to do with 9/11.
You won't eat a Zinger Tower, till Bin Laden's punished.

I know it all consists of deadly trans fats which ought to be banned under the Geneva Convention. But whatever kind of crack it is that the Colonel puts in his secret recipe works for me.
I avoid Burger King at all costs. Their chips are vile, and the rest of the stuff is burnt 80% of the time.

This was of course pure MSG, which we sprinkled directly on our Vesta Curries and Findus Crispy Pancakes in a misguided attempt to make them taste like actual food.
