well chemicals aren't always bad. i mean if you read ascorbic acid you might think it's something bad but it's just vitamine C, or nicotinic acid is niacin. Sodium bicarbonate is just baking soda. your body needs all kinds of chemicals and some of them have complicated names that have to be listed on the back of something. it's just that mcdonalds can name every chemical in their shakes because it's not made from strawberry juice or anything simple like that.

Wow. I don't understand. how do they pass FDA approval when they all are poisonous to the body in their pure forms?

actually, thats not technically true. drink too much and your system fights it to where you puke it most if not all out and you end up a little sick.

Sonic Milkshakes FTW!

i guess they're not so bad when all mixed together. like they cancel each other out or something, maybe.

the best is when you have a tub of hagen daaz vanilla, let it melt and pour it in a glass. that's easily the best.

yup the names dont mean much by the way they sound. don't judge a book by its cover.

you might think that ethyl ethanoate is something dangerous. (if i remember correctly) it's actually pineapple flavour, found in (amazingly enough) pineapples. naturally occuring.

Like what constitutes cheating with a threesome.

[2.2 Straight six]

yea, two wrongs make a right.

eh....all i have is steak n shakes, don't really care since a lot of what i drink is chemicals anyway

[SiGNAL748]

I would imagine most of those "odd" ingredients are preservatives. What, you think they put things in there for absolutely no reason? Oh, to poison you? Come on guys, it's not like the shakes are actually formulated in-house at your local mcdonalds. All the stuff they sell is pre-packed and shipped to them and all they do is prepare it for you. They need those ingredients in there so that the stuff doesn't rot while being shipped across the country.

That is, IF the said ingredients are actually preservatives

On that note, McD's milkshakes taste like shit.

All the good stuff a growing boy needs.




After reading all that, I'm scared to ask what goes in their chicken nuggets...

Probably the same stuff that goes in Ching Chow's Chinease Chicken.
