I said "pulling onions" sounds like jerking off while crying. That's the best I got.

How could you possibly improve upon perfection?

I remember a certain former president trying to deregulate all the things.

Now we’re all getting listeria, and he’s poised to be president again.

[–] beansbeansbeans@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Since he loves his hamburders so much let's hope he gets all the onions.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It was the style at the time.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Gimme 5 bees for a quarter, you'd say

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Companies like this get an excuse to sell the same products, at the same price, with less ingredients in these moments. Yes the onions only cost then $.02 each burger, but multiply that by 6.5 million burgers sold per day.

They don't give a shit about you, they are pulling the onions to temp boost profit margin as long as they have the cover to say "out of an abundance of caution"...

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not only that, but some companies don't bring them back. I remember some outbreak happened years ago and Jimmy johns stop serving sprouts on some of their sandwiches. I was assuming they would be back after the outbreak was over, but no. I still eat my sandwiches from their sprout-less.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

That's about when I stopped going. I get the veggie sandwich. without the sprouts its just not very good

!remindme 1 day

[–] tee9000@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wonder how big of a pile of onions could be made with all recalled product.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month ago

Enough to make a grown man cry

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

First they came for the arugula and I did not speak out because arugula is meh. Then they came for the sprouts and I did not speak out because sprouts are whatever. Then they came for the me and my onions and there was no one left to speak for us...because they all had food-borne illnesses.

[–] General_Shenanigans@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

See, mom? I told you onions were evil.

What's even the best case scenario of eating McDonald's food?

[–] _Sprite@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Nuggets and sour sauce😋

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

You'll need to shit before your hour long commute home.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Bed bath and beyond fried chicken

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I saw people in the McDonald's drive thru line today. Can't wait to get an ecoli burger I guess.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Do you really think they're still using the contaminated onions?

3 to 8 days incubation period for e.coli.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Or that people aren't ever in the McDonald's drive thru

"Took her off the vegetation

Took her by the arm.

Selling E. coli burgers

Couldn't do no harm."

5% is too little

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

See it's the veggies that are trying to kill you just as much as the meat if not more.

[–] muix@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 month ago

It's usually uncomposted manure or the proximity to pasture soil that infects vegetables with E. coli, so it's still a result of the animal agriculture industry.
