@Daboys_22 I was able to move mid 1 and three 2s for BTJ and Burden before season was over

Who is the one asset you are trying to buy in your dynasty leagues? Mine seems to be BTJ.

@McFranchisee @MarioOfMeriden @McDonalds Sensitive subject, got any tins left?

@MarioOfMeriden @McDonalds We just had an absolutely ginormous McDonaldland promotion just a few months ago! With its own shake!

🚨 My @McDonalds AMA starts now. Drop your weird and curious questions below. I’ll answer every non-duplicate serious question (nothing confidential, related to my bank account, or who I am… 🥸). No DMs - let’s go! 🍔🍟

@dougpayments @McFranchisee @McDonalds The geo fence will only trigger on pick up order at the counter and at curbside . App ordering and choosing drive thru as the pick up point will not inject the order in advance. The sequencing could be nightmarish. Try curbside!

@McFranchisee @McDonalds Appreciate the insight - I might be too close for it to trigger right, not even a 30 second ride lol It just feels like when I get there, that’s when the order actually starts getting made, since I end up parked 10-20 mins pretty consistently. Maybe I can try calling ahead?

would you order more pies if they were fried vs baked? I go to hawaii just for the pies, beaches are a plus

@jbchoknows @FFDynastyTrades Back half of the season when I had to pivot as a non serious contender, Adams got me Burden, Horton and a late 2. Andrews got me Coker and McMillan. Love future outlook

@FFDynastyTrades Easily Moore tbh. I do like Horton’s upside though.

Thoughts?

@McFranchisee @McDonalds It’s not my jam… but hard to argue it wouldn’t be better with fresh beef

Just remember, the OG version. Should @McDonalds bring it back?

@KCJHoop Too many guards? This is a surprise development

Billy Donovan said he likes Rob Dillingham and will probably get him more minutes but didn’t tonight because Bulls have Josh Giddey/Tre Jones back, they have too many guards and they tried to use more familiarity to win. Dillingham logged 8:29.

@McFranchisee @McDonalds I had a friend ask me last week why McD doesn’t have them. So that started a short rant and said will rarely ever see them around, and then I happened to run into one 72 hours later

Evil Data 😈 + Tropic Berry Sprite 🥤 The #1 Sprite Freestyle flavor was Sprite + Wild Berry. Coke created a new flavor based on “evil” consumer Freestyle data. Coke gave @McDonalds the exclusive, and we made it a national flavor, replacing the orange Hi-C valve in ’17. It didn’t perform well, was discontinued, and we brought back Orange Hi-C. I think it was way ahead of its time. People are offended by businesses tracking buying behavior? Lol, it’s been done since the beginning of time. While we don’t have those machines, we track the amount of syrup we sell for each soda flavor. It helps us know what customers want. If businesses don’t track what you buy, how are they supposed to know what to sell? I think Coke using Freestyle data is genius and definitely puts their R&D department on a whole different level in the industry. Did you ever try Tropic Berry Sprite?

@McFranchisee @McDonalds I do have a choc/twist restaurant fairly local. Took my son (who won’t eat vanilla) and he was thrilled he could get it at McD

Our chocolate ice cream is top-tier. In fact, it tastes like a Frosty. I’m not usually a chocolate ice cream person, but I am with ours. Not many @McDonalds locations carry it. This is the “new” Carpigiani FDM closed-loop system with a 90-day brush cycle and 99% uptime. You don’t see many because they cost over $30,000 plus $700 quarterly maintenance kits/cleanings, about $10k more expensive than a single-flavor machine. Would you buy more McDonald’s ice cream if we offered two flavors?

@Brett_A_Taylor Missed it by a W. Was there for 299 in Milwaukee on my birthday

Not even a joke tweet: this was the last moment I cared about the pitcher win statistic.

@McFranchisee @McDonalds Instead of AR meal … imagine remaking this with her and CC

Sorry. This is my favorite @McDonalds Super Bowl commercial. I didn’t realize this one was from the SB era. Classic. Nothing But Net

@McFranchisee @mcdonald Just for equipment from KES? No costs included to modify current grill/fryer placement ?

A few years ago, @McDonald's developed a conveyor belt under the prep table to minimize steps in the kitchen during assembly. You go from taking about 7 steps per sandwich (walking down the line to add ingredients) and placing it in the landing zone to only 2–3 steps. It's actually really cool and very efficient. Employees love it. It has been standard in every new build for about 5 years. Three years ago, I requested a quote to install a new conveyor prep line/landing zone setup in an older restaurant, it was about $100,000 for everything involved, not including installation. Hard to justify that one.

@WUTangKids 100

The Epstein timeline told through The Big Lebowski….the internet is undefeated!

@McFranchisee @McDonalds I see these occasionally (last week actually). Mixed reviews talking to people that use them. Probably slightly more detractors than fans

Here’s a video of a @McDonalds pneumatic ketchup/mustard dispenser that never made it to restaurants (post below). For decades we had two separate dispensers: one for ketchup and one for mustard. We’re looking to make our kitchens faster, one second at a time. They’re pretty efficient, but you had to pick up two different dispensers. Now there’s a single dual-purpose version. It dispenses both at once or either one, depending on how you move the black handle (left for mustard, center for both, right for ketchup). Yes, it’s probably over-engineered. Yes, it works. Yes, it saves time.

@McFranchisee @McDonalds I am currently frustrated I was forced to wait so long for this. The HH McCrispy was 🔥🔥

. @McDonalds dropping some new items today all around Hot Honey: Sausage Egg Biscuit McCrispy (with fried jalapeños) Snack Wrap Nuggie Sauce Which one are you getting? 🔥 🍯

@McFranchisee @JBPVFM @girdley

@JBPVFM @girdley I never understood the ones who get a salad with crispy chicken and double ranch.

Some guys opened a fast food place that sells actual healthy fast food in San Antonio. It’s going about as well as you’d expect.

Sometimes I just feel like my restaurant is a piggy bank for other companies. Had a service call, not only did they charge a trip fee (there and back), but now we're also adding mileage. Just for them to show up was almost $500. Here’s the kicker: service agents carry minimal parts. Most of the time they don’t have the part, so you wait three days, they come back, and they charge another trip fee. If you want to own your own restaurant, you’d better get very good at plumbing, electrical work, mastering a voltmeter, and repairing your own equipment. In a thin-margined world, you can’t drop $3,000 every time something breaks.

@McFranchisee @Brad_Gray This was a train wreck. The redundancy with 2 orange flavors never made sense to me and thought it was the clear choice to remove Fanta when testing energizer thru ABS

@Brad_Gray Correct. Replaced with Tropicberry Sprite

To go along with the topic of fountain drinks, we only have spots for 8 flavors, but what if we used the same orange base for either carbonated (Orange Fanta) or non-carbonated (Orange Hi-C)? You choose. This would free up a valve for another flavor. I understand some branding would need to change but 2 orange valves taking up 25% of our drink space is a bit over-indexed. Why I bring this up: I had a carbonated backflow blow, meaning carbonated water went everywhere water goes: coffee, OJ, lemonade, and Orange Hi-C…. it tasted exactly like Orange Fanta 💡 No one liked the carbonated coffee, but the carbonated OJ was pretty good 😆

back at work and cant remember my password, any guesses?

@TommyBirch @OutOfTheVines Blackburn is personal favorite. Stood off the side doing band work after exiting a game and had a conversation with me for 30 min. Road trip Months later he was in the bleachers charting pitches, remembered me and talked the entire game

@OutOfTheVines Pierce has had a helluva career.

10 years ago, I published my first Cubs prospect list. It was leading into 2016 and I ranked hitters and pitchers separately. Here’s what it looked like: Green = Reached MLB with Cubs Blue = Reached MLB with another team Gray = Never made MLB Bold/Underline = Career bWAR > 5
