McDonalds isn't the bestest, but you know exactly what you are going to get every single time. And it's pretty ubiquitous in this day and age.
Absolute garbage. The quality of the fries always varies depending upon their freshness. Sometimes, they have been sitting in the warmer section for ages and are awful. Best to always demand freshly cooked fries. Likewise, the burgers can also become a bit sloppy when left 'heating' for ages. During my younger years, when I drank every single night of the week till dawn, I would often go home via a McDonald's and it was always hit and miss as to whether things would be fresh. The only certainty was that my stomach would subsequently regret having eaten crap.

I find it incredibly patronising when people who eat yogurt, cottage cheese, ryvita and salads try to lecture me on what tastes good. Worst of all are the vegetarians, who's food is so disgusting or tasteless, they have to throw three squillion spices into it, just so they don't die of boredom.
It tends to be Asians that cover their food in spice because rice and goat gristle are pretty bland. I dined on roast pork, fish and various vegetables last night. Divine. And much tastier than the glumph that is McDonald's.

Not that I can't be a snob about some things too, but at least be aware that's what you're being. 
I'm aware that I have been a snob since birth. Not my fault if this world is full of ordinary people who think Coke and McDonald's are a tasty treat. Fools. Breakfast this morning was rolled oats with blueberry yoghurt and various tropical fruits. I could have walked down the road to my local McDonald's for a McMuffin and McHash Browns, but frankly, that stuff is revolting and unhealthy.

Everyone knows McDonalds and what the food is like. If you're abroad and you're not sure where to eat, you'd definitely choose a name you know.
Bosh! I have been a foreigner for most of my life, and upon arrival in a new country I certainly don't head for an American fast food chain! Reminds me of backpackers who only ever stayed in hostels with other backpackers, smoked weed and watched MTV all day. And then ate McDonald's when they got hungry.

Does anybody actually like clowns, and if not, why are we subjected to them? Actually I know a man who acts as a clown. He's amazingly normal in other ways.
Years ago I worked alongside a clown in London, when we were both working at corporate parties. He was a c**t. I do have a French friend who works as a clown and she is very nice. Most clowns I run into these days at children's parties are harmless and it wouldn't hurt them to learn some decent magic tricks.
