Current Events > If you opened a McDonald's 4000 years ago, everybody would hate it.

(+) Yeah! (+)

They would say the food is greasy, lacking in nutrition, just plain not good, and overpriced.

Weird flex but ok

Big if true

They would think you are a god with magic powers

They wouldnt say any of that

Sumer would been all about the McRib.

A burger, fries, and a soda together would probably cost 5 rupees back then.

4 thousand years ago is not that ancient in terms of human history. Civilization is like 6 thousand years old. Yes people cooked then. People were cooking in the stone age. Humans have cooked for thousands of years. Cave men did not eat raw meat.

No. If I opened one 4000 years ago it would have quality comparable to 4000 years ago.

McDonald's in the 70s had much better quality food. The concept of "fast food" hadn't really cemented.

They would be like "what the hell is this eldritch material you have placed the food in"

yea but they flip out over the soda so im fine

the whole building and its furnishings and everything they cook with would be made out of stuff that isn't invented yet

I wonder if the people back then saw a modern fast food building, they would think it was made out of unknown materials from the gods

on the plus side, all the dishwashing could be done by a miniature wooly mammoth

Mfw I open a McDonald's 4000 years ago and accidentally create a religion around Ronald McDonald.

I'm back. Findings: fries were hit or miss but generally considered underwhelming. Nuggets were considered a good concept but not executed as well as they could have been. Sodas were not well liked. Almost all comments were negative. TC was on point there. I was... almost killed several times over the big mac ._. (too sweet, too much bread, not enough meat). Regular burgers, quarter pounders etc. were received much better, but still mixed. Chicken sandwiches and fillet o fish were mostly the same, as were breakfast items (except anything sweet, which got the same sort of feedback as drinks). The most popular item was the quarter pounder deluxe. People liked it better because of the added veggies.

There was one thing that was universally hated though... the self-order kiosks. The screens really frightened and confused people and every single one was destroyed. I was almost killed MANY more times over those than over the big mac.
