expect mcdonalds to launch some kind of new promotion, or menu item with the mighty wings. Reports are they have 10 million pounds of the stuff in cold storage.

while I tried them, they weren't bad. A good size and decent flavor, but 3.50+ for 3 was a bit high. Some people complained they were too spicy as well.

BRING BACK MY CHICKEN SELECTS GODDAMNIT

the only thing I can eat at McD's now is the "Crispy chicken club" and I dont even want the cheese, mayo, or subpar bacon. Why is Wendy's the only chain with a quality white meat chicken breast sandwich? I FEEL LIKE THE WORLD HAS GONE MAD

QFT

Tried them, they were actually pretty decent. Get the price to $0.55 or less per wing, they might be competitive. But more than a $1 per wing is ridiculous, I'd rather order from the dollar menu.

San Jose has that, but they changed the name to smoke eaters. I ate the last level chicken, first time i tried it I ate one piece, then it ruined my appetite. After the first time, it's not so bad.

Probably never going to take the challenge though.

Mcdonalds is in desperation mode right now because the products they are selling are not doing so well. The dollar menu is the only thing that is keeping them alive. Who wants to spend 8$ on a lousy burger? In and out serves you a very good meal for 6.71

Yeah, I'd actually try it if it weren't a Dollar a fucking wing. That's completely fucking ridiculous for eating at McDonalds. Most shit there isn't even that cheap, really minus the Dollar menu. If it could buy a pack of 5 wings for 3.50 I'd consider it. Might as well go to a Hooters at least there I can get a huge beer with my wings and they are actually cheaper.

Fuck these guys. I kept cruising the local mcds signage for the last month or so wondering why in the fuck they still don't have mcribs. The yellow board on their sign is advertising "3 piece wings ONLY $3.99"

The only reason that piece of shit even sells is because it comes out on a "limited time only" basis.

ITT: pedantic shitheads who don't realize the "elemantry" guy was being sarcastic.

as for the palate/pallet/palette issue, it's just one of those things that happens when a language borrowed from every other language.

imagine being a foreigner trying to learn shit like "i knew i was through when i threw the ball through the window."

as much as i hate the ridiculous verbs in spanish, at least they got the spelling thing close to perfection, which is why they don't have spelling bees in spain.
