message: "CEO Ray Kroc famously prohibited the company from selling hot dogs, regardless of potential demand, as he regarded them as unhygienic."
There was a brief period several years ago when UK outlets sold a hot dog.

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 cetainly belongs here.Alloco1 22:04, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Breakfast bagel sandwiches had an emergence for a while - they were in the midwest in 1999, made their way out west in 2002 I think.  Are they still around?  --Dennis The TIger 18:17, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I know the Hulaburger had pineapple on it, but I didn't see any pineapple topping as an option for burgers when I was in Oahu in 2003 and 2005.  They did offer fresh pineapple as a side for breakfast meals, though.
Another thing that I saw there in 2005 that may have just been a novelty and not a permanent menu item were.  They were small, fried fish cakes, similar in size to a McNugget, and much different in taste and texture from a Filet O' Fish.  They were offered with a sweet chili sauce.  Here's a picture: http://rumored.com/photos/20050430/thumb/20050430%20060.jpg
* Those are Fish McDippers.  In Tokyo, they were sold with either Sweet Chili, Wasabi, or Tartar Sauce.  They were supposed to be permanent menu items, but they sold poorly here and were pulled from the menu.  --awh (Talk) 06:35, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The current picture of the cheeseburger is not a good one. Maybe one from the McDonalds website would be better.
It's old, too. We haven't used cheeseburger wraps like that in a few years. That give me an idea, though, I can sneak in my camera and snap a few good pics of our products at work tomorrow. Gus 02:52, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The Quarter Pounder article should not be merged here, as it is not a menu item that is exclusive to McDonald's. Wimpy, for example, also has a Quarter Pounder on its menu.

thread_title:  Quarter Pounder article 

message: 1. the meat in big macs and ham/cheesburgers is 10:1 i.e. 1/10th oz(stupid imperial weight...) it may be 10.6 before cooking but certainly not after wards.
2 the hula burger. This was not invented in hawaii but in (i think location may be wrong) michigan. it was the original no meat friday style burger(if you could call it that) it was never very popular, though some Catholics back in the day would eat it. the filet o fish was later and basically replaced it. Also i really hate making filets they smell so bad and i hate everyone who orders them, just get a mcChicken sandwhich you cunts....haha...Owwmykneecap 21:16, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

message: McRib was placed previously in the Former Menu Items subheader in the main article.  Since it is annually marketed still, even if only for a short time, I moved it over to the Sandwiches subheader, and started the Seasonal Items sub-subheader.  Germans, take note that this does still also reflect that it is continually offered in your parts.
I also took out the "farewell tour" blurb from the entry.  That belongs in the main McRib article.

message: Here in Chicago, when the Chicago Bulls were winning NBA Championships, there was a McDonald's sandwich called the "McJordan" because it was "created" by Michael Jordan, presumably with the ingredients he wanted in a sandwich.  While I'm sure this was not a national phenomenon, I would assume similar marketing strategies have been done elsewhere in the world.  Perhaps a section could be created for such kichy item?  If for no other reason than that I came here because I couldn't remember what was on a McJordan and I'm sure others would wonder the same thing.  --Senna27 23:26, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I know for a fact that when I worked at McDonalds in the summer of 2002 or 2003, that they sold 1/3lb hot dogs. The store was located in Southwestern, PA.
