thread_title:  Double Beef and Bacon 

message: Quite a few of the entries in this list don't seem very NPOV... Snack Wrap: 100% white meat chicken breast (crispy or grilled) with fresh, crisp lettuce, shredded cheddar jack cheese, and premium ranch or honey mustard sauce, all inside a soft flour tortilla. Bolded words are adjectives you'd normally find in a commercial and don't really help describe the product. I've cleaned up that particular entry, but there are more like it. --- RockMFR 22:02, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I didn't find it in the article; I don't know if it's named differently but it's sold here in Italy (see here). It's a round-shaped toast with cheese and cooked ham (prosciutto cotto). I don't know if it's sold somewhere else, but I'm sure it doesn't exist in the UK (i've asked for it in London and they didn't even know what it was, so I guess it has never been sold there) --Absinthe88 02:52, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

message: My store stopped selling this on 14th March, so it's now a old item, but rumor has it that it may be brought back later in the year. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.238.38.7 (talk) 10:54, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I have heard that certain markets are testing these types of drinks (lattes, cappuccinos and iced coffees) as well as smoothies.  Do you think that these drinks will last?  And for anyone working in a store serving these, are customers responding to the new drink choices?

message: I haven't done any research but a friend told me of the new McAngus burger (100% angus beef...wonder what that meant the other burgers had then =P ) that was being test marketed in Southern California. I have no clue if that is true, but the burger itself exists because I just had one for dinner. If I can be honest, it was pretty damn good. No, I don't work for McDonalds nor have any connection to them except theres a hundred of them places within a mile of me (so don't call me a McPlant ;) ) One of the things that was noticable right away was that the patty itself was spiced. Normally McD burgers are only made known in texture, not taste, but these patty's had actual taste. I personally believe McDonald's is trying to go after the 6 dollar burger and at the same time try to give a better beef product then what they are known for. Anyone else in the LA-OC area try it? How far across California, or the US for that matter, is this burger available? Just seems like an appropriate discussion for the menu items page =P Oh, and just once again to say I'm not a McDonald's employee I'll add that it took 20 minutes for my order to get to me! (20 minutes in a drive thru!) and I was going to call and complain until I noticed they gave me a free Baked Apple Pie =D LOL Fadedroots 07:22, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Is not this just giving free advertisement for one of worlds worst companies? This should never have been in an encyclopedia. wouldn't surprise me if Macdonald's payed you people for writing this. 
Personally I dislike McDonald's, but it still is a company of no small importance or influence, so it certainly belongs here.Alloco1 22:04, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I know Southern Style Chicken Biscuit is listed under breakfast items but it is also a dollar menu item, mostly in the South. I had listed it earlier but it seems like someone deleted it. I tried to find some source for it but could not. If anyone can find any sources for this or vouch for it as well please do. Acidskater 06:32, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The article mentions Cheese Danish as a current breakfast item. However, I worked at McD's in the 70's and we had several flavors of danish and they were available all day. So whomever knows how to document this stuff, I suggest seeing about adding that to former menu items. With me, it'd be original research. 00:16, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm quite surprised that no-one has mentioned the McEgg. They're still common in the far east, and I have eaten them in Malaysia, Hong Kong and Taiwan. It's not a McMuffin without bacon, but an egg with cheese in a burger bun. It's often the only vegetarian sandwich on the menu. Sfgreenwood 16:07, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I think the dollar menu needs to be in sections.  For example: Breakfast Menu, Regular Menu, Other.  Or at least put it in alphabetical order.  What does everyone else think?  Shawn W 17:52, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dollar Menu 

message: It's great that you selected good, representative typical presentations of actual McDonald's food, as you get it in the restaurant (you didn't select "bad" pictures to make the food look bad and you didn't take idealized "high key" photos from the McDonald's website).  However, my criticism is simply that the cheesburger pic,the quarter pounder with cheese, and the Mcrib photos are out of focus.  Maybe set the camera on "macro" and try again or maybe find another image.  There is some website, I can't remember where, that has nothing but pictures of food items he personally took, maybe we can get permission to use some of those.SecretaryNotSure 12:45, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I work at McDonalds.
Management has told us (crew) that the McRib will be back on the 22nd of October. At least in my area (northern IL)
And Pumpkin pie + sweet tea on the 15th.
Also I see a few things that need touching up.
First of all, the Grilled Cheese is on a regular bun. Not 2 club buns.
Second, the Southwest Salad has been extended past '07 in select markets. Ours being one of them.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.183.102.18 (talk) 06:51, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  McRib is back Again. Corrections to the Menu Item Page. 

message: I do not believe that the hot dogs / pretzels / etc available at McDonald's inside Wal-Mart are actual McDonald's menu items.  I know that these items are available "from" Subway in stores that have a Subway instead. I believe that the hot dogs / other non-McDonald's items are grafted-on by Wal-Mart to take advantage of the sales channel (workers, etc).  Note that the extra items may have their own signage and not be featured on the regular McDonald's menu boards. Jason McHuff 06:26, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: *Per the MOS, we can either call it McDonald's menu (singular) or List of McDonald's products. The current title and the proposed title are both plural. Dekimasuよ! 04:24, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just looked extensively though the Wikipedia: Manual of Style and I believe you are referring to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (plurals).  However, that has to do with the proper noun which is "McDonald's" which in this case is singular and possessive of the secondary noun product which the exception is allowed for from what I can tell.  This article is certainly not a "list" per see as it is detailed.  It is also not a "menu" as many of the items are no longer on said "menu" and some are merely "products" and not "menu" items.  I am in support of the naming change based on this criteria.--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC 07:00, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

text: * McDonald's products is perfectly acceptable as a name and it is plural. While a list is a component of the article, the article itself is not a list; there is currently a section that is solely about the ways McD's rationalizes the menu. So what the heck are you talking about? - Jeremy (Jerem43 05:41, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
