Wendys' has a chicken sandwich, a few months ago it was about the same, now it is about the same but comes with 3 pickles.
I kind of figure the fda or the govt somehow is probably trying to grow alien dna in people by putting pickles on cheeseburgers, and since people don't eat cheeseburgers as much as chicken sandwiches anymore they have to shove the pickles on.
Easily some nefarious motive imo.
I wouldn't mind pickles if they were my idea, or even if they suggested them and told me the benefits. I just feel that my whole life, every burger chain puts unwanted pickles on a sandwich. 1. They taste horrible! Who could ever love a pickles flavor?
2, They ruin anything around them.
And like a Mcdonalds cheeseburger? I know, I'm the only one of 49 billion ever to eat there, but, that mustard is nasty too, and unnecessary.
Why do people, bake, cook, assemble foods, which are sour and bland and offensive tasting,
one of the largest though, is the force addition of pickles by every burger chain on cheeseburgers.
Which was a bonus for ordering Chicken sandwiches for the last 25 years, because, at least you don't get pickles on it.
But then, NOw? Pickles on chicken sandwiches.
It's not broccoli, it's not some other health beneficial food, there must be some dubious reason I think. ( agenda included)
Yes to pickles on a chicken sandwich... unless it somehow knocks the Browns out of the playoffs. Note to Chik-fil-a, how 'bout three pickle chips instead of two? I want pickle in every bite. Note to everyone else -- please don't stack all the pickles in one corner of the sandwich, be a sandwich artist, not a slacker!
It takes two kinds of people to have a successful relationship in this world.. one that says, "I don't want my pickle" and another who says, "I'll take that pickle"
If you pass that test, you have a reasonable chance at a happy and lasting marriage.
I just saw a commercial for a poppeye's chicken sandwich with the pickles, big pickles on the bottom.
I assumed I'd have the regular line, (just pick them off)
(just take the pickles off)
(If you don't like them just pick them off, line that everyone always says)
So Here is my agenda. For anyone who thinks that and hasn't yet posted it.
Some years ago I realized that not everyone, like me, loves mushrooms, actually, the more I talked about it, I found at least half the people I talked to hated mushrooms.
Well I love mushrooms most ways, (and I ain't talking about drugs, I don't do drugs) But I could eat mushrooms more preferably than candy!
But we don't live in a country, where every food chain that sells a sandwich, 9 out of 10, with the 10th one starting soon, where they all put mushrooms on my hamburger, or chicken sandwich.
(Man that thought sounds delicious)
Mushrooms have flavor, they are grown in pooh but I don't care, I dunno, I don't know how any foods are made, they must be safe before they get to us.
Mushrooms with gravy, white mushrooms dry, loose dark mushrooms not stacked in a corner, but spaced out over the sandwich.
And for all those pickle sandwich lovers, if any of them just hate mushrooms.
Think about living in a country where they just add mushrooms to about every burger you can think off, and now chicken sandwiches too, without warning, without advertising.
Even a bacon sandwich, (a bacon cheeseburger doesn't come with pickles, YET!) Sure it won't be long, they'll take the tomato off, and put pickles on the bottom or something, and call it "new and improved" .
Even a bacon sandwich, (a bacon cheeseburger doesn't come with pickles, YET!) Sure it won't be long, they'll take the tomato off, and put pickles on the bottom or something, and call it "new and improved" .
I can eat pickles on almost any type of sandwich.
I love mushrooms on many different sandwiches but never at the same time as pickles.
Tomatoes are useless, they are awful. The flavor, the texture, the add nothing and detract from everything. Stewed in chili or spaghetti sauce? Perfect, love it.
Raw tomatoes? Only good use is throwing them at bad comedians.
Back when I was young, southern style shredded chicken sandwiches always came with pickle. Our school used to serve a really bland shredded chicken sandwich with pickle too. So it is normal to me.
No pickles for me of any kind! No pickles, no onions, no peppers ... nothing crunchy or surprising haha
Except for there is this one meal waiting, 1400 miles away.
and part of it is a huge, perfectly carved, sweet pickle, but, on the side, part of a salad that you get, not hidden under a bun for you to stumble upon.
Is there any possibility that the subtle move to slip pickles on nearly every sandwich is part of a larger plot to eventually just replace the bun altogether?
The pickle slices will be the new bun in a carb conscious world!

I used to love pickles - on sandwiches. I don't anymore though.
IF i eat at McDonalds, I get a burger and take the pickles off. I don't request it without - no problem to just peel them off.
At restaurants, if getting sandwiches that have pickles, and if my daughter is there - she takes them.
She loves pickles and often times, when she was younger and I had to get her up and get breakfast, I'd let her have a whole dill pickle for breakfast. Yup.
I think eating any properly preserved and fermented food is good for you. The oldtimers ate a lot of fermented foods and were much less sick than today in terms of cancer, etc. But even if it does nothing but reinvigorate your gut flora, it's still good for that much.
Pickles are an acquired taste if you weren't raised on them like we were. I can't imagine never having tasted or eaten one. But I can see how somebody as an adult trying them for the first time would find them horrendous.
I like pickles on a chicken sandwich. In general, I like pickles. Dill thank-you.
After finishing a jar, I keep the remaining juice in the fridge. A big swig of that in the morning is a good thing. Pickle juice is the best if you suffer from cramps. Swig it down and the cramps go away.
Yep, the problem with the McRib is the pickle, not the chemically engineered meat or sugar loaded bun... Hell the pickle is the ONLY healthy part of that sandwich. And all McDonald's food is straight garbage.
Do people actually eat McRibs because they like them?
McDonalds is nasty. Seeking out BBQ there is strange... off putting even. It’s like going to a plumber for a haircut. Just go find a BBQ joint. Support a real business/restaurant. I have no idea what’s in a McRib but I can guess it’s not anything one would find on a pig.
I like McDonalds for what it is. Its not where I go when I want a cheeseburger; its where I go when I want a Big Mac or a Filet O' Fish, or usually, both. Plus I still think they have the best fast food french fries going. Its not like I eat it more than maybe once a month, but when I do, I like it.

About 10 years ago I was curious as to why the hype, of what surely must be an absolutely disgusting sandwich, each time the McRib makes an appearance so I decided to try one.
Ordered the McRib, lifted the bun and noticed what was molded to look like a rib slab with bones in to paint the whole picture. Took one bite. Immediately spit it back out in the wrapper, tossed the sandwich in trash and checked that experience off list of curiosities.

I agree, I go to McDonalds if I just need food and there isn't a better option available or if I just don't have time to find a better place. I know none of it is going to be great, or even good, but it's edible and it's consistent.

When I build my spicy chicken sandwich on the Chik-Fil-A app. I always add pickles twice to get extra pickles.
Of course pickles belong on a chicken sandwich. I always asked Wendy (and Dairy Queen) to add them as well.

The McRib is an idiotic pop-culture phenomenon. People like to get on social media and act ecstatic when it's coming back.
I live in Columbus, one of the fattest, foodiest cities in the world. To chose a sandwich that comes out of a rib-shaped mold over a savory smoked meat sandwich at any of our Barbecue joints would be asinine.
“The nutrition facts are downright frightening. According to McDonald's own website, not only does the sandwich contain a whopping 500 calories—meaning you are getting 1/4 of your daily calories in one sandwich if you're on a standard 2000-calorie diet—it also has 240 calories from fat.” “ McDonald's claims that the sandwich is composed primarily of shoulder meat. As it turns out, the truth is much less appetizing. Chicago Magazine broke the story that the ingredients actually consist of restructured meat products like heart, tripe, and scalded stomach.” “ The sandwich has around 70 different ingredients and one that is particularly worrisome. That ingredient is a food additive called azodicarbonamide. This means that McAzodicarbonamide is also a more accurate name for the sandwich. Azodicarbonamide is a flour-bleaching agent that, when not used in McRib buns, inhabits gym mats, yoga mats, and the soles of shoes. Yum!
Azodicarbonamide is banned in Australia and Europe and is considered by England's Health and Safety Executive to be a respiratory sensitizer, possibly contributing to asthma through occupational exposure. The sandwich also contains ammonium sulfate and polysorbate 80.”
To add from the comments section... “ The fact remains that Azodicarbonamide is a respiratory sensitizer and is therefore banned in Australia and Europe. The use of that product in Singapore can lead to a lengthy jail sentence. You are free to eat as much of it as you want to in America.”

It's like when McDonald's brought back, for a limited time, the Szechuan sauce for the McNuggets and everyone jiggled their way to the local McD's to wait in line for hours to make sure they got the sauce and couldn't wait to post it on social media.
When I was young there was a book that had gross food facts warning people of the types of things allowed in our food. It would list an item like peanut butter then talk about the acceptable amounts of insect parts, rat hairs, etc. from processing that was allowed in them. That book was absolutely mind blowing and good stuff to know but it never stopped me from eating the foods I like.
So, 33 years ago, as a youngin, I may have feld a lil pride that I liked Mcdonalds, and even make the joke on the trip to mcD just before they closed, that it was the 3rd trip that day.
Seriously think, maybe 450 times to mcdonalds in a year.
It couldn't last though because well, there are health things, that is the point. Sure we had uhh, hot flashes, high blood pressure, mood swings, cravings, uppers feeling after getting the fix.
then, 20 years ago, I saw the super size me movie. And thought, ehh it's exaggerated the problems, surely that'd never happen.
But, per chance I somewhere along the way started going to mcd's less often, maybe once a wee, maybe 2 times a month.
But recently went a lil more often, all I'm saying is yesterday,
While the Browns were playing, in the 3rd quarter, I troupsed to the mcdonalds and got 4, got Five sandwiches, regular ones,
ate 4 of em, (had the small fry, I do because I avoid the large fries since tha movie)
But I got to the, things I've always ignored, the chest tightness, the muscle tightness, (feeling like a blood clot in my neck), the feeling I've been given an overdose of salt, trying to stand up and walk around because sitting feels like my heart is under stress, Trying to help myself digest it by chasing ice water
And it hits me, I've been doing this for 30 frickin years, and ignoring it.
So I tell myself, figure, it was the "4" which is more than i usualy get recently , especiall 4 sets of buns, anyway,
I felt better after 8am, but at 1 am I didn't. and, around 9 am I ate the 5th sandwich from the refridgerator.
I'm probably addicted to mcd's but uh, maybe I'll never go there again, it tastes good, but d'yuhhh, I don't wanna die from lunch, kind of a buzz kill that is.

I know I've told this story before but.....
My Grandfather that immigrated from Northern Italy in 1906 swore on a meat/butcher shop on E. 152 that, according to him made the best Italian sausage in the world.
SWORE BY IT!!! THE BEST!!!
When they were shut down due to mice and rats falling into the grinder........
Speaking for myself, I love McDonald's breakfast stuff.
As far as their sandwiches ..... I'll have an occasional Big Mac, Filet of Fish, or Quarter Pounder With Cheese ...... but I really prefer Wendy's, or even Burger King's sandwiches. I used to like Burger King's onion rings, until I found out they are made of "onion paste".
I had to rethink my eating habits after being diagnosed with diabetes so I could eventually not take meds for it. We were already eating much less fast food and I rarely ever went to McDonalds, but after my diagnosis we really cut it back to almost zero.
Growing up and through my 20s to early 30s, the Big Mac was my favorite fast food sandwich. After cutting it all out, if I eat one now, any McDonalds other than fries really, it just wrecks my digestive system. This makes it not even worth thinking about them any more, and I don't. Horrible food chain with horrible product if you ask me.
Those breakfast steak sandwiches were the bomb back in the day though, loved em.

That was hilarious.
We refused to let our kids eat McDonalds. At 6 years old, they went to a birthday party at McDonalds, and we caved. But they never, ever ask for it. Wasn't all that good to them.
I get a hankering for a Big Mac about once a year.
Otherwise, when you have an In-and-Out double double animal style in your backyard, why go anywhere else. I know you know what I'm talking about Milk.
You know what else I get a taste for about once/year? White castle. And usually, just like the Big Mac it was a much better idea before actually eating it.
We very rarely eat fast food except for of course, In-and-Out. But I put that a notch above fast food. It's damn near 5 star dining.
Big Mac's are 3 pieces of bread, a total of 3.2 ounces of "all beef", a variant of Thousand Island dressing, and some lettuce pickles and some type on onion.
3.2 oz of beef. The 1/4 pounder has the same amount. Note: 3.2 oz is NOT a 1/4 of a pound. (I know, they weigh the meat pre cooked).
Point is, the sandwich is 8.5 ounces, and only 3.2 ounces of that is meat. That's why I asked if he liked bread and "special" dressing, cause lettuce, pickles and what passes for onions .........well, you get the picture.
But, speaking of other food from McD's, I love a biscuit with sausage, egg and cheese. I get 1 about every 3 years or so. (as opposed to, 20 years ago, having 2 about 3 days a week).
So, this weekend, down at my son's for 2 days for Christmas, with me saying "we are NOT going out to eat".........fast forward to Sunday morning. Out of 6, the majority ruled and wanted McD's for breakfast.
Daughter and her boyfriend went to get it.
Got back, missing a sandwich - my son's biscuit with bacon and cheese. He was outside when my daughter got back, so I just said he can have my biscuit with egg and cheese - we'll just tell him they screwed his order up.
I had a hash brown, he was fine with what he had, and he never knew different.
I have about 2-3 more years before I get a biscuit with sausage egg and cheese from McD's.
Last I checked it was 2 all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame bun.
Not the same ad, but I remember being 8 or 9 when the McDonald's Menu song came out and my 12 or 13 year old cousin memorized it and sang it. I thought she was the coolest kid I had ever met!
Fast food is a different experience for some more than others.
I'm not a big fan but will eat it on an occasion now and then.
While growing up we raised our own beef on my uncles farm. All grain fed Black Angus. My dad would buy a calf at the stock sale in the spring and it would be butchered in the fall. We were also hunters and fishermen.
We even picked berries for home made preserves.
My dad was an organic gardener before I even understood what the term meant. He bought a house out in the country just before I turned eight and a huge garden was his first priority.
When the beef was slaughtered, he only kept prime cuts. Rump roast and top steak cuts. Everything else was ground. As such, the ground beef was very lean. The burgers shrank very little from their original, raw size. And the taste was amazing.
As far as fast food goes it was a rarity for us. Playing sports the teams I played for would go for pizza after the games sometimes and we did do fast food on rare occasions. I think it was more a case that dad was giving mom a break in the kitchen than anything else. But even as a child I preferred the food we had at home.
It's hard to explain, but at least for me nothing can replace the food we had growing up. And while I do indulge in fast food from time to time, it's not very often. McDonald's is pretty much on the bottom of my fast food list. I will do a Hardee's burger from time to time. Luckily there's a McDonald's right across the street because my wife loves a Big Mac from time to time. And no arch, for the life of me I can't explain why.
Reading the thread title at first I thought "Pickles"??? Buddys wife? On a sandwich?
Would have to be at least a 5' diameter bun.
Then I read the article.
There's some that will get it.
Hmmm?
Pickles, of DVD fame.
I was moreso thinking of a very old TV show. Early/mid 60's to 70"s-ish? Maury Amsterdam(Buddy) often talked about/mentioned/joked about his wife "Pickles" who, as I recall never was actually on the show??? Perhaps a cameo on the "very last episode? Can't recall.

Show ran for years.
Yep...Dick Van Dyke show. It didn't run in the 70's. Early sixties and ran maybe 5-6 seasons.
Pickle was Amsterdams wife...she was on the show, though not a regular. I don't know the name of the actress that played her.
Who was that tv star, that was not Morganna, the kissing bandit, and not Geenie from I dream of Geenie?
Computers couldn't help me. (The baseball just kept getting bigger and bigger,)
But when I remembered the catch phrase computers could tell me
It was Charo, ( Charro
Coochie Coochie" Did you know it was Charro?
Some careers just wouldn't fly in 2020, that would never be accepted today. (A lady who just acts stupid and makes appearances on late night t.v. shows.)
Now a white guy? Don't get me started, ya they'd let a white guy act stupid, but anyone else, being portrayed as brainless or immature would be considered offensive.

The Dick Van Dyke Show is still on the air. I watched it last night, actually. It's on MeTV on Sunday nights; around 11pm, I think.
