Since I've been "dieting", I havnt had it in about 2 and a half months (fast food at all). I think if i had a BK breakfast right now, I would defile my pants.

Back in Aug 2002, I was at Canton to see Jim Kelly inducted to the Hall Of Fame. There was a McD's next to the hotel. Went over there for breakfast, and saw on the menu there was no McGriddles listed. I asked the pimply faced teenager behind the counter, "Have you heard of McGriddles?" "Huh?" was his reply. I knew then that Syracuse must be a test market for the McGriddle. I reluctently ordered my usual backup meal of the Steak and Cheese Bagel.

I am going to a farm to Griswald a Christmas tree with my family on Sunday, and doing some Christmas shopping. I am really hoping to make it to the Steelers game, but that will be a last minute decision. The only Mickey D breakfast food I like is the burritos. McGriddles gagged me. Enjoy the game! GO BILLS!

BadDad Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 McDonald's bought up the remaining 4k+ tix. 155283[/snapback] Sorry didn't see this thread before starting mine. fast food has never been my favorite, but I can still remember those Big Mac's, Large Fries, and a Coke for under a buck at the McDonalds in Hornell, circa 1972-1974.

SF Bills Fan Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 The guy that organized this for McDonalds is the dad of buddy of mine that comes to the North Star out here. He owns some McDonalds in Buffalo. My friend just got tickets to fly back because M & T is havign a big party for at the stadium for them. The tickets go to area servicemen and their families. Good move, and a nice gesture. My guess is that those are seats would have normally gone to the Browns fans, but since this is a bad year, they aren't making the trip to fill the void. That won't be the case with the Steelers fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStranger76 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Hey, I'm happy the game will be on TV and all, but to call a press conference to announce it? That stuff should be saved for player and coaching moves only. Well, whatever, GO BILLS ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
