I was the only person in the room who hadn't tried it!

[LED_ZEP]

I was in the office the other morning when someone said they hadn't had a McDonald's McMuffin for breakfast for a while. When I said I'd never had one there were gasps of shock across the room.
No one could believe I'd never had one, I couldn't believe that in a room of around 16 people I was the only one who hadn't.
My boss was so shocked he placed a delivery order and bought me one there and then.

Am I really that unusual in not having had one before?

Has anyone else had a similar experience where their none participation in pop culture has caused shock and awe?

I have never ever had a McDonald's McMuffin. I wear this as a badge of honour. It you appear to be so out of sync with your work colleagues, id suggest a change of environment

(or embrace it)

I really do not like the food from Mc D's, anyone remember that guy who filmed himself eating their food for a week and piled weight on.

No you're not alone - I'd rather starve than eat a 'maccy d' and that's a fact. Some dude at work was feeling charitable before Xmas and brought a load of McDonalds trash in for everyone. Mine went in the bin, untouched. I could have given it to someone else but I was doing them a favour by not doing so.

It is about 30 years since I last went into a McDs to buy food, and that was as treat for my two boys.It is not very likely that I will visit again. And the one and only Burger King burger I had about 20 years ago ended up in the bin.

Not if you paid me, I'll find a cafe and have bacon sarnie and a cuppa.

This guy was my prof at uni. He's never tried coca cola, or any of its imitators.

As a general rule, I do not like Maccy D's. A sausage and egg McMuffin is the singular exception.

 

[EVVO]

I had a Wimpy once. Are McDonalds similar?

 

[Leon103]

I haven't eaten since the 80s

You must be really thin or nearly dead....

You must be really bloody hungry!

Just like the rest of the forum that seems to have touched any fast food since its arrival from the States.

 

[Fil]

not touched a McDeathburger since 1976 when i spent 4 weeks on a greyhound bus with a $4 Mcdeathburger lunch voucher EVERY DAY on the rd. not had a muffin thing either?

 

[Smileyr8]

Had a Egg Muffin 20+ years ago (a guy at a place I used to work would collect on his way into work), don't recall having anything from there in the gap between then & now.

I’ve not had a McDonalds sober for about 10 years. A Signature burger or Big Tasty with a chocolate milkshake after 10 pints is scientifically proven to prevent hangovers though!

Last summer in Berlin, I had large fries and a burger. Holidays: looser tastes

Was that the film where he ate it for a month? No wonder he got sick. Pretty sure i have never had one as i have seen what they look like.

I am not a fan of mcdonalds at all.. I don't get the hype, the burgers do not look or taste like meat??

I have tried the mcmuffin however at breakfast time it was so greasy it didn't sit right and i felt like I ate a brick that day. I can eat anything normally

the coffee there was nice however
