Just overheard the funniest conversation i've heard in a while.

Customer: Can i have an adults Happy Meal
McDonalds: Ranch or Ceaser, Fried or Grilled Chicken
Customer: ......................
McDonalds: That will be £xx.xxp
Customer: What if the pedometer doesnt work
McDonalds: Return it and we will give you a new one
Customer: what if you havent got any left
McDonalds: Here sir take two just to be sure
Customer: What happens when the battery is flat
McDonalds: Throw it away
Customer: Thats a waste
McDonalds: person looks as if they couldnt care
Customer: How does the peodmeter work
McDonalds: It counts everytime you make a step
Customer: How
McDonalds: every time you shake it
Customer: why is it an adults happy meal?
McDonalds: We are not allowed to advise children to wear it on their wrists!

:shocked: :D :D :D

If any of you three get repped for the contents of those replies I'll eat all the bits that fall out of my keyboard when I turn it upside down. :erm: :p:

I think I am right in saying that one of those new 'healthy' options at McD's contains twice the daily recommended sodium intake for an adult.

If you go to the meet in London next weekend I'll bring them all in a plastic bag and put them in a sandwich or something.. but, I want proof that you repped one of those hapless smiley posters first ;)

Contents of keyboard (not as bad as it could have been.. i cleaned it a month or so back): Assortment of hairs, eyebrow, head and nostril possibly. 6 seaseme seeds from lunchtime rolls. Range of crumbs, different colours and sizes. Lint/fluff looks like naval fluff (blueish) but probably didn't come from there.

I read somewhere that it has a higher fat content than a cheeseburger

I've always wondered why they were called Happy meals... I guess no one would buy them if they were called Sad Meals...

I shook a week's worth of toast crumbs out of mine this morning. You can tell the weeks I'm having trouble getting out of bed by the state of my keyboard:

Up early = a bowl of cereal at home = clean keyboard.
Up late = toast from the staff canteen at my desk = a right mess.

I'd have been delighted if I'd shaken it and a Big Mac dropped out though. :drool:

AT one point, the keyboard at my old job had more crisps in it than the bag I was actually eating from. Mind you, they definitely filled a gap when I finally cleaned it out :sick:

The restaurant probably has a policy about you bringing your own food. But seeing as we're going to Covent Garden you could eat it outside and make a piece of sreet theatre out of it. You might even draw a crowd. :D

Hey, I never said I was gonna eat it :mad: :cry:

I do eat by the PC but as it's wireless and only a little desk :( I normally prop the keyboard up against the desk on the floor clearing the space for eating so there's no food in it, innit.

Apart from tasting of plastic, battery acid and probably a bit of dust / hairs...

One could also argue that a thread about happy meals, conversations about pedometers overheard in MaccyD's, was unmitigated drivel to begin with. ;)

Nope it's a just a bit of fun.Reidy is perfectly safe.

If you take a look around the forums you will find I do award medals from time to time.

Did you get one of these?As a new member you are entitled. :tu:

Debris Update:
Unfortunately my shirt was washed with the little plastic bag of bits in the pocket (along with my pay slip and 2 coffee cards), and I'm yet to find it.
I will therefore investigate the contents of my home keyboard (M$ natural, should hold even more) and attempt to ingest once a suitable amount has been collected.

:shocked: :D :D :D
I've just come to this thread and I have to admit to a certain amount of puzzlement.

1) From internal evidence I managed to deduce that if you buy an adult's Happy Meal at McDonalds you are given a free pedometer. Why isn't this mentioned explicitly?

2) Why has the customer's second line apparently been censored?

3) Why £xx.xxp rather than, oh, say, £5/12/6?

4) Could it simply be that my little grey cells have finally given up the ghost and that I would be best advised to sit quietly somewhere mumbling to myself?

5) Am I going to have to say, "D'oh!" when all is explained to me?

As this was plainly an attempt to get out of doing the deed i think the contents of the pocket should be consumed!!

I had anticipated such cynical responses, but thought better of opening the collection of bits in the keyboards of other meet attendees as most of them would be behind their toilet/cooker/garage collecting things for me to eat with the pretense that "it's what was in my keyboard".

Assumption was that people knew about them considering there has been a fair amount of publicity about them


2) Why has the customer's second line apparently been censored?

What they ordered was not important


3) Why £xx.xxp rather than, oh, say, £5/12/6?

Who cares how much it was, again not important. BTW decimalisation occured in 1971


4) Could it simply be that my little grey cells have finally given up the ghost and that I would be best advised to sit quietly somewhere mumbling to myself?

Might be advisable


5) Am I going to have to say, "D'oh!" when all is explained to me?

important point was that its a pedometer, it works by being shaken, the McDonalds person indicating that the customer should wear it on the wrist probably inferred what they thought about the customer.

Right, now I know. In my defence, m'lud, I will submit that I have never heard of this pedometer deal; in fact I make it a major aim to have as little to do with McDonalds as possible. Glad you spotted the pre-decimal reference.

It's been on the TV adverts, get a meal & get a pedometer.

I have no idea why, but my wife wants one, perhaps to see how many times she runs up & down the stairs at work during the day.

It's likely to be crap plastic & will break in 5 mins.
