> RIO DE JANEIRO — The afternoon was blustery, cold and drizzling, and the Samoan freestyle swimmer Brandon Schuster was outside in shorts and flip-flops, looking rather anxious because there were still 53 people in front of him to reach the door of the Olympic Village’s most popular restaurant.
>“We’re so pathetic,” he said. “It’s raining, and we’re waiting in line for McDonald’s.”
>Since no other fast-food chains have a presence here, McDonald’s is the only game in town. The line has allegedly stretched farther than a football field.
>It also happens to be free, at least for athletes and coaches. The orders can get prodigious. You see weightlifters grasping multiple bags in each mitt and pixie gymnasts balancing armfuls of cardboard soda holders. Israelis line up with Iranians. Mongolians mix with Bahamians. Australian basketball player Andrew Bogut, who plays in the NBA with the Dallas Mavericks, reportedly ate at the village McDonald’s.
USA! USA! USA! Such a patriotic story. The burger is what fuels the Olympians, not their silly veganism and health food. Some of these athletes even win gold medals on a diet of McDonald's.
The strength of the American burger is so powerful, that it unites cultures and brings the Jew and Muslim together. God bless McDonald's and the USA.
>americans clap and cheer at "their" company >meanwhile "their" company is a global multinational that only sees the US as a market
Brand loyalty is fucking dumb.

I'm sure we'd think that too if the only brands in out country were Vegemite and Fosters, Dundee.

In their defense, the local food is probably loaded with parasites and pathogens.
Better to just stick with the McDevil you know than the Juan you don't, right?

The burger brings peace, peace and heart failure.

Its American food, so its American culture

The more iffy the region's health regulations, the more a McDonald's will shine out as a golden beacon of first-world standards, however low-end.

THESE are freedom fries.
What you people eat are "victory fries", like "victory gin" in 1984.

People seem to confuse sports performance with health. The healthiest diet is not necessarily the most optimal for performance, especially in strength sports. There is also nothing healthy about competing at the top level in any sport.

it's called poutine
french fries covered in syrup and cheese curds

Athletic nutrition isn't as hard as people make it out to be. They burn a lot of calories, so they need a high-calorie diet, and food like fries and burgers are good for that, plus since they're eating so much, they'd have to go out of their way avoiding micronutrients to not get enough.
Also, after they've finished their event, it's Saturnalia in the Olympic Village. They eat all the stuff they're not allowed to in training, they stay up all night partying, they fuck all the other hot young elite athletes.
Jack Hall
What the fuck... is this even allowed?
Asher Ramirez
Poor Mexican's make entire meals from junk food because it's all they have that's edible and plentiful, because of American companies. Coca Cola and cereal and chips are usually the key ingredients in many dishes.
Poor Mexicans are human trash. Real Mexicans want to build a wall on the border too because even they understand that the poor Mexicans are subhuman.
Jeremiah Perez
how do you know this! don't tell the pablos down south
Ryder Mitchell
So you have never tried that have you?
It's orgasmic to say the least Specially when you do this to fruit, it's godly
Jacob Anderson
McDonalds is fucking terrible. I'd pick literally any other fast food place over it. Maybe it's better in America? Here their burgers are just dry.
Landon Bailey
No, I've never tried this, I've heard about it in a food history class that discussed the history of cuisines from around the world. I took that class for fun.
Class basically stated that all of human history was because of our stomachs.
Professor was a coalburning, Jewish single mother that brought her young son to class so she could watch him.
Thomas Lopez
Love the webm
Ian Phillips
disgusting, and i'm talking about the poutine not the video.

Did you not read the part that said: >Since no other fast-food chains have a presence here, McDonald’s is the only game in town
Nathaniel Robinson
Live in America, can verify McD is indeed fucking delicious.
Those nuggets tho
Thomas Nelson
You will never have the feeling of putting a delicious fruit with Chili, lemon, Salsa and chamoy on your mouth
The sweet spicy sour taste all at the same time
It's orgasmic I tell you what!
Dominic Hughes
>McD is indeed fucking delicious You're telling me that you couldn't find a better burger literally anywhere else, other than McD? What ever happened to Burgerland?!
Carson Ortiz
Underr8d
Wyatt Jackson
For the record, in case anyone didn't understand the trolling, poutine is fries with cheese curds (you can use grated cheese, but it's not as good) and gravy. There's no syrup involved.
Ayden Lee
Looks like some of the salt from the fries fell off an landed on your personality. Come back when your athletes can do anything significant besides kick a ball around
Camden Howard
>You will never have the feeling... It's because kek watches out for his disciples.
Jaxson Phillips
Have you ever put salt and tajin (Chili powder) on a mango?
Camden Johnson
>t. American education
So shut up dude Go try it and then decide Go Grab an orange put some Chili lemon and a bit of Salsa and if you find some chamoy then fucking eat it
Then go deeper Take a watermelon Some cucumber Mango omg Mango!!!
Bentley Mitchell
yeah it WOULD look like mutilated baby jew
Lucas Walker
>There's no syrup involved. >A leaf Riiiight...

The burgers are pretty shit but the fries and chicken nuggets are pretty damn good.
Landon Green
McDonald's has its own distinct style and flavor that makes it desirable. There are a lot of places I would consider better, but that doesn't mean that McDonald's isn't good.
That said, I found out I have celiac, so I can't even enjoy burgers unless I make them at home with my special gay bread.
Carter Russell
Come on, there's something special about it There's lots of better ones, but not one tastes like it
Nathan Perez
Not saying that at all. I didn't say it was the best burger i've ever had, but I think it does taste good. I don't always go for the best quality, McD is cost effective and fast
Hudson Gutierrez
>sweet spicy sour This is the flavor profile I go for when I make mixed drinks.
Nathan Johnson
>I found out I have celiac, so I can't even enjoy burgers >Not going through diarrhea for a McDonalds burguer Are you even American?
Aiden Roberts
psh we have tons more burgers got like 6 burger joints around where i live can go to a greek burger shop which they make real good bacon burger double patty with avocados and cheese
Jose Cook
to be fair a burger from McDonalds isn't that bad its the fries and soda that gets you
Gabriel Edwards
Kek does not love you
Christopher Jones
>salt and tajin (Chili powder) on a mango? No. But what they sell here as "mango" taste like shit anyways, because it's not fucking ripe... I doubt some salt and chili powder will help.
Charles Long
HOLY SHIT MY SIDES
Owen Wilson
Mcdonalds rules the world bitch. Every single country that doesn't have a mcdonalds has been invaded. Ronald mcdonald is the true mastermind pulling the strings.
Eli Flores
That's what you go for when you drink a drink But I am talking about fooding a food
Anthony Anderson
Burger is a German word The hamburger originates from Germany
Luke Thomas
syrup? try gravy
Sebastian Hernandez
That's true, I've never come across burgers as dry as they are there
Jaxon Green
>McD is cost effective and fast Ahh, guess that's where the dissonance is comming from. Around here McD is expensive as fuck; compared to what you can get elsewhere.
Henry Flores
I can't speak for all athletes, but some like Phelps have to eat like 6000+ calories a day, some fast food isn't going to do shit.
Austin Bell
>tfw mcpick 2 for $3
Lucas Brooks
It isn't covered in syrup, it's gravy, cheese, and french fries which are just potato. kek'd tho
Julian Gomez
Dog bless the burger
Ryan Peterson
>I found out I have celiac Are you 100% sure of that? You got the biopsy and everything?
It's really important to make certain. I thought I had celiac disease for a while, but due to circumstances I couldn't get properly tested. Later on, I found it was something much different but also serious (homocystinuria), and while avoiding gluten helped a little (due to its significant contribution to total methionine intake), it was not a full solution.
Xavier Perry
It's good with food, too, but I probably get more of my calories from drinks.
Kevin Gonzalez
Isn't the BigMac literally used to measure inflation as it always cost 1USD?
yes, they are a piece of shit, not arguing that, but they have a distinct flavour
