MCDONALDS NEW ARCHE BURGER SUCKS!!!
Richard Johnson
I went into McDonalds and I thought what the hell I'll
try the new Arche Burger Deluxe. It's just a typical McDonalds
burger, basically a quarter pounder. I like the Big Mac a lot
better but both of them are actually not very good.
In any case, this new Arche burger is all hype. Don't bother
with it. I just figured I'd spread the word before too many
people waste their money. McD has to try harder than this!
Personally I like SubWay for sandwiches. Jack in the Box is
not too bad.

I disagree. I had the McArch burger today for the first time and thought
it
was very good. Get it with bacon. It is a spicy type of bacon.

that the new arch deluxe is just another version of quarter pounder with
lettuce and tomato. Doesn't sound very healthly. I would prefer any
burger over McDonald's.

I liked it too (sush! don't tell anyone I ate there :-) ). I liked
the bacon too, big chunks of black pepper. I also like the potato
roll. For me it was really filling and the price wasn't too bad.

I thought it was pretty good too... 'cept i could do with a little less of
that "Chef's sauce," but overall not bad. And i love their slogan too:
"I'll try it...someday." I'm making that my motto.
And i just got back from denny's where i had the original grand slam
($1.99 as you all surely know) but it was much worse than it even usually
is. I felt sick earlier today and now i feel even sicker. BJORN

If these are where your standards are set, maybe the arch burger isn't
that bad! :)

I also thought what the hell, I'll try it. Blech! You know the dry pasty
taste you get from a McD's 59cent hamburger? Same deal except with a bit of
rather bland mayo/weak-mustard sauce thrown in for good measure.
Talk about grown up, in all honesty, it tasted like a burger you would get at
the nursing home when you went to visit your great aunt Bertha. If you have
to get it with spicy bacon to taste anything at all, why don't you just take
your $2.50 and buy a whole pack of spicy bacon from the grocery store?
BTW, if they want adults to buy food at McDonalds, the only thing that's gonna
work is to tear down the damn jungle gyms, and get rid of all the rugrats and
their clueless minivan moms.

What's so grown up about the taste? Bacon on a burger? That's fat on
fat. Soon they'll offer it with a scoop of ranch dressing. Has anybody
seen how fat some of our children have gotten, and you can't even get any
of them to go out for football. And the parents are so fat they'd make
good Sumo Wrestlers.
Arche Burger my butt. More fat on fat slop.

What is actually on the burger? Hype is usually what it's all about, but what are they trying to
say about this burger that makes it stand out besides, "it's for adults". (they probably figure on
suckering in the younger crowd into buying it just because it's not supposed to be for them)

Sucks is a compliment. I don't know what idiot thought this one up,
but i'm glad he isn't working for me. Imagine trying to get us
to believe that a gob of mayo and a burger is something NEW?
Mc Donalds should not be insulting our intelligence.
If they had half a brain they would:
1. eliminate frozen fries and make them fresh
2. throw away the microwaves
3. start toasting buns again.
4. restore the size of their burger products.
5. develop something new and different. Not just another burger!
6. talk to their customers and listen.

Amen.....does anyone know how McDonald's cook their meat nowadays. I
remember whey they used to cook it on a grill, their burgers were my
preference. Somewhere along the way, they changed something. The
burgers they put out now look and taste as if they might be boiled or
steamed. As for the new Arch Burger, it tastes just as bad as the rest
of their burgers taste.

Naaaah! That makes waaaay too much sense. They'll never go for it!

What ever happened to toasted buns? Soft and crusty rolls? The Arch
burger has a soft and almost gooooey roll. The lettuce on it is as hot
as the beef. Yuck! What a mess.
Sports Illustrated has a coupon for the Arch Deluxe (free w/fries and
drink purchase). Try it.

Truer words have never been spoken. A restaurant near me (Wildwood
Steak House, Marlborough MA) sells a burger, about 1/3 (?) lb, of the
Angus beef, and fries for $5. Plus, you can get a real drink there,
and no kids. Minimal yuppies.

I fully agree with you. The Arch was built up too much in commercials one
after another. Their "secret" sauce is nothing more than barbecue sauce.
Oh, by the way, I have a friend who works at McDonald's. They cook their burgers
on long metal plate. But there still is the question, what kind of roadkill do
they actually use in their burgers?

Couldn't agree more, they may have been horrible for you, but at least they were tasty

I agree...the Arch Deluxe is a fricking Quarter Pounder with bacon.
My fast food money goes to Wendy's for burgers and chicken sandwiches.
They actually put the sandwich together when you order, so the
lettuce, tomatoes, and onions are fresher and are hot from the HEAT
LAMP...
What the hell is McD's thinking by still using heat lamps? Obviously
they're not. They cater to parents who want to throw a cheap
hamburger down their kids' throats and then dump them in a massive,
bacteria-infested with food remnants strewn about, liabilty
suit-waiting-to-happen play area so that they can catch their breath.
Burger King is just about as bad.
Don't even start with me about a pizza place.
Sad, very sad. The saddest thing is that these places make enough
money to stay in business.
Anyway, that's just my opinion...I could be wrong.
Arthur H. Perlman
As far as I know they still fry thier burgers. I have similar comment
about the new ARCH burger. They should go back to the drawing board
on this one. Can anyone tell me what the bun is supposed to be? I've
tased better Dejohn sauce in packects on a hot dog stand. As we all
know by now all they did was take a reasonably ok (fast food wise)
burger - the quater pounder - and try to jazz it up.
Guess what McDonald's the only you fooled was the clown, and he gets
his for free!

LOL ROTF They got my 2 bucks. The meat was gooshy and tasteless. The
vegetables were hot. The dijon mustard was good, the bun was purely cosmetic.
I had more fun looking at the advertising blitz on my tray liner. They had
some huge steel worker named "Bobby" pictured in his work shirt.
And the thing was SMALL folks. The same micro-burger you get with the Quarter
Pounder.
Burger King's Whopper is the perfect size for a fast food burger. And they
taste GREAT.
Wendy's has integrity, at least. I agree with the poster. Their specialty
sandwiches are wonderful, the service is fast, and the food is fresh.

And let's not overlook the nameless roadside burger stands that offer huge
burgers for the same price or cheaper than the big chains. Where else can you
get a huge pile of fries, with real cheese and/or chili, for 2 bucks. Small
business, all the way...

I've had several Arch Deluxe's and think they are very good, and I don't
like Big Mac's. The best part is the deli style roll.
bork
a big "NO SHIT" there...they dropped $5 mil ALONE on Rolling Stone adverts
pushing that Arch Deluxe. Deluxe CRAP. funniest damn burger i've ever
seen: the mooshy, boiled meat is hot enough to boil the lettuce and tomato
into tasteless goo, and its small, butt-shaped bun (or is it
scrote-shaped? pudenda shaped? i dunno) tastes like some kind of
unleavened SourDough(tm) half-cooked wierd thing. then Micky Dee's lets it
STEAM itself in its own cellophane-windowed little cardboard sweatbox.
This mini-dollop of putrefaction was truly two Arch Deluxii that i ate: my
FIRST and my LAST. Unbelievably, this little fucker was hotter than a cup
of MacDonald's Coffee(tm) on the Fourth of July, which i believe must be
measured in degrees Kelvin.
i went into a MacDonald's (shudder) and bought one purely as a social
exercise, combined with sheer curiosity. (That, and the "free" coupons
worked, I'm such a slut). at any rate, i have never been able to explain
to myself, with any degree of satisfaction, why the masses "eat" at
MacDonald's. This Arch Deluxe curiosity only tosses another wrench into
this mighty cogworks with a single, undeniable bit of proof positive:
MACDONALD'S COULD SMEAR SHIT ON A SHINGLE, PACKAGE IT WITH A COKE AND
LARGE FRIES, AND SELL IT ALL DAY LONG.

Insert my own negative comments here....
I finally gave in and ordered one of the now infamous burgers on Sunday. Why
was I not surprised with what I got? The store that is closest to me is
notorious for keeping their warmers full even of sandwiches even if it isn't
busy. I should have heeded my instinct to order something else when I noticed
four or five Arch Deluxe in the bin and no customers at the counter ordering.
But I didn't and got what I dreaded. Luke warm, dry burger, nice warm
lettuce. Bacon that if I hadn't seen it on the sandwich, would never have
known it was there. Even the sauce couldn't help this sandwich. First and
last. I'll stick to ordering quarter pounders sans cheese. At least you get
a burger that's moved to the front of the line.

Hey, aren't we being a little hard on McDonalds. After all, they
are equal opportunity employers, hiring equal numbers of people
with IQs under 30 as they do those under 40. They've kept the
cockroach population to almost 0.0 here in the SF Bay area. They
recycle everything, even the toilets automatically flush twice
since it's so far back to the kitchen. I don't see any of those
"Ma and Pa" places going to such efforts! Let's all give them
a great big cheer (you figure out what kind)!
