  • "But chips tasted like they were cooked in ten year old oil and had a huge hair in the pile of slop that was supposed to be a big Mac."
  • "Ordered a mcdonald's after a gig in Hungerford, so stopped for some food using the drive through, and made our way home, when we got home to open our big macs, both of the big macs were missing a burger from them."
