    Was the 1957 flu pandemic a relapse of the 1918 flu pandemic 39 years prior?

    A plea of insanity won’t work because they definitely weren’t out of their gourd.

    Wasn’t The Big Mac in direct response to Nixon’s Wage and Price Controls?

    As many people know, it wasn’t McDonalds or Ray Kroc that created the Big Mac. It was created in 1967 by a franchise owner named Jim Delligatti.

    Note for those with egg allergies… Most vaccines using the egg process have been found to be safe for you. The former advice to remain under observation for thirty minutes after vaccination has been rescinded.

    For those with severe allergic reactions to eggs, there are usually versions using animal-cell grown, inactivated or dead viruses. Just be sure your doctor knows so that he/she can take appropriate precautions.

    One of my favorite McDonald sandwiches. Ask for an extra filet (nominal extra cost) and a lemon slice. Take the wife with you and bring a table candle. That’s romantic living!

    The Filet O Fish was created due to the fact that many Catholics refused to eat burgers on Fridays during Lent. Mickey D’s tried to fix that with the Hula Burger, which turned out to be a commercial flop. So it was replaced by a fish sandwich.

    I always forget about the Filet O’ Fish. I don’t think I’ve ever had it. If I want fish I’m certainly not thinking about McDonalds!

    The Filet-o-Fish was likely an invented enough concept before McDonald’s became a name; the Big Mac at least had a “secret sauce”.

    No. The 1918 flu was due to unsanitary conditions. The 1957 flu was easier because we cleaned up our act. The 2020 covid fake pandemic is due to the worldwide deep-state looters panicking over their exposure to so many awakened people now. It is nothing more than the common flu with much more political hype and a strong virtue signaling public

    I got an email from Ripley’s about a story about debunking the curse of the pyramids, but what about debunking the curse of the Bambino where the Red Sox traded off Babe Ruth? They should cover that one because by George, George was Babe Ruth.

    “The filet of fish has been on the McDonald’s menu longer than the Big Mac.”

    It must be stale by now.

    https://www.insider.com/ May 19, 2020, 11:03 AM Police in Louisa, VA, arrested a man they say stole liquor from a convenience store wearing a watermelon with eye holes over his head. The man, Justin M. Rogers, was 20 at the time of the alleged theft. Louisa Police removed a post about the incident from their Facebook page because of all the attention it was garnering. They are investigating the second person seen with a melon-head, but believe they know who the person is.

    Although it’s not on the menu, at some Mickey D’s u can ask for a double fish which has two patties. Of course it costs more but not as much as getting two filet-o-fishes.

    I went to McDonalds long before Big Mac’s were added to the menu.
