Yeah, I work at McDonalds. That's pretty accurate...except we're going a lot faster, and the grill, toaster, etc... isn't as clean.

CREEEEEEEeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEPPYYYYYY CRAWLERRRRRRZ!

Also, I imagine the base methodology there is correct, but what you get should look a little more slapdash, a little bit dirtier, and a little less appetizing than what they put together right there.

4/20/2009 3:38:20 PM

That is the way its done. People never believe me when I tell them the mcmuffin eggs are real.

4/20/2009 3:39:06 PM

i make my own egg mcmuffin. i've got those egg rings too. i need a griddle though.

they are tasty and easy to make. mmmmmmmmmmm

4/20/2009 3:41:18 PM

If McDonald's had more hot Asians, I would eat there a lot more.

4/20/2009 3:41:38 PM

That's a lot of eggs... a lot of chickens making eggs.... for allll those McDonaldsss.

Yeeesh.

4/20/2009 3:42:57 PM

its def accurate.

i'm not black if that's what you are referring to

I worked at McDs for almost 7 years through HS and undergrad, first grill, then biscuits/prep, then finally maintenance/whatever other position needed to be done (DT, counter, grill, etc). for the first 5 years at my store that was exactly how it was down. for the last 2 they replaced the round and the folded with premade that you just threw on the grill and steamed for 30 seconds to reheat. we still had shell eggs in the back for if we ran out of the premade rounds, but they seemed to be going more and more to predone breakfast stuff. probably because breakfast required the most crew. 1 on the egg grill, 1 on the sausage/steak grill, biscuit person, and line people. with the premade you could cut at least one person out of that. they would have gone premade biscuits too but I think they tried that in the south and it didn't go over well.

4/20/2009 4:18:18 PM

Everyone does.

4/20/2009 4:21:05 PM

^^ so they use pre-made for eggs then? how do they do the yolk then?

4/20/2009 4:22:01 PM

i like how when they say "We always use fresh eggs!" in the bottom left corner you see * In most markets

4/20/2009 5:49:03 PM

So they actually take something that could taste good (fresh eggs) and fuck it up to make it taste like crap?

YURE DOING IT WRONG MACDONALDS.

Capitalism wasn't designed to produce the best products, only the cheapest.

4/20/2009 5:54:36 PM

Lol, did you take economics?

4/20/2009 5:57:53 PM

Yeah, but I had a real liberal professor, who didn't take too kindly to capitalism.

4/20/2009 5:59:08 PM

You have to produce something they want, or at least convince them they want it, lmao.

Of course, quality competition is on a different planet.

4/20/2009 5:59:47 PM

Spending money to convince morons to buy something they don't need with money they don't have is one of the many inefficiencies of capitalism, but it produces millionaires, so fuck it.

Capitalism is an idea not a designed object. It's the idea that if you have something (a good, service, idea, etc) that someone wants, you should be able to charge them for it at whatever price you set.

It's like if I owned a huge forest and you wanted to go camping in it. I would charge you to go camping on my land or else I could have you arrested for trespassing. On an unrelated note, if the federal government wanted to nationalize my forest for everyone, I would burn it to the ground. [/Andrew Ryan]

Er, what was it that Dr. Vincent said. Ernie could quote it correctly.

If you offer a grain of sand and say it's worth $1M, and someone buys it, it's actually worth $1M.

It's retarded.

4/20/2009 6:35:38 PM

I think you mean the grain of sand is worth whatever the maximum amount of currency that someone is willing to pay for it.

TWW classifieds is a perfect example of capitalism. Someone has an old sound system as thinks it's worth $50 and doesn't want to take less than $50. If he only gets offered $30 max for it and sells it, then that sound system was worth $30 not $50. The seller could have put it on a bigger market where demand for sound systems is higher and probably got $50 or higher for it but he didn't.

If it was socialist/communist there would be a government set price for old sound systems which would be the max that he could sell it for or someone could buy it for.

This thread has made me hungry for eggs.

4/20/2009 8:40:47 PM

I used to work at Burger King in HS, we poured our eggs out of a carton.

4/20/2009 9:25:13 PM

^Those are just like real eggs, they just crack them and whisk them and then seal and heat the package up to pasteurize the eggs and make them safe for some markets - schools, nursing homes, hospitals, etc.

I'm guessing that they just deliver the eggs in a frozen patty which is simply heated up. Who knows how they get the yolk in the frozen patty. I always thought they used food coloring. A scenario where they have two cartons one with yellow dye and the other without. When it comes time to cook the 'egg' you just make a half and half mix.

Maybe the truth is a combination of the two. They have two batches, one of each color, that are flash frozen into a patty. Either way they do it I never had the desire to eat an egg from McDonald's. I've avoided them so far, and I'm not about to get one now.

EDIT: Oops. Just clicked on the link. I understand the question now and the answer suddenly becomes clear. I'll answer with another question. Do you think McDonald's would be 100% up front with the process they use? Maybe they are, which I assume is the point of the thread.

I can see them showing a video on their website where they make their own hamburger patties out of non-frozen 90/10 ground beef where the reality of the situation is they probably have some machine that just mixes grade c meat with soy at a 1:4 ratio, and throws in some glue for good measure.

^^I think they just poached a regular egg and then froze it. It would be much easier than expecting some highschooler to get the ratio of yellow fake egg to white fake egg correct.
