With the exception of Mrs M, does anyone actually like the gherkins in a McDonald's hamburger? Think of the extra farmland that could be paved and made into gigantic malls instead. Think of the countless times people would no longer have to pull the damn things out of the burger. Most importantly, think of the children.

Pass your gherkins this way, please.

Gherkins? Is she daft? Who the hell puts a gherkin on a burger? They're too damned sweet. and they're so small, they don't slice well at all - such tiny pieces. Can't just put the whole thing on either.

Has she tried just regular pickle slices?

They use dill slices over here and they're absolutely revolting. They give the burger a distinct ammonia flavor. Truly disgusting.

a distinct ammonia flavor

Yes, exactly. I order anything from McDonald's without cheese, without pickle. No pickles 'cause what Jim said. No cheese because I worked at a McDonald's as a teenager and I know how long they leave it to sit out. Then again, it's so-called "American cheese," which is crap anyway. So I don't think I'm really missing anything by leaving it off.

Gherkins, now . . . gah, I can't imagine. That would just be odd.

I think that the (dill/Gherkin) pickles you find in the MD/BK burgers are pretty much soylent green slices and not real pickles. I cant be sure, but I'm pretty suspicious of their efforts to recruit the retired population.
