Quoted from sliprose:Made it a double

Stupendous!
Too bad the name McDouble is already taken by the Double Cheeseburger-wannabe sandwich, because this is what the McDouble should really be!

I'm sure that your doctor happens to partake in an occasional FoF luncheon.
Celebrate and enjoy!

Especially when they make $$ on our poor diet decisions lol
Quoted from JimB:Slightly off center but great. I now can order a double in the app. Hope it stays on the regular menu.

Mighty fine double FoF right there!

Since my usual location is under renovations, I stopped at a different one this evening.
Not the best, nor was it the worst, but still a bit underwhelming.
I may 'peace out' of the FoF scene for a bit since the quality continues to slide. At these prices, I expect my sandwiches to be assembled with some modicum of care, but I guess that's too much to ask.

I was trying to recall the McDonalds characters (excluding Ronald....he creeped me out). I know there was Grimmus for the shakes (also had a fat buddy nicknamed Grimmus) and there was the Hamburgler. Was there not a dude for the Filet o Fish? There had to be, huh?

Captain Crook.
"Unlike the Hamburglar, this villain spent his time trying to steal Filet-O-Fish sandwiches from citizens of McDonaldland while avoiding being caught by Officer Big Mac."

Sweet! Thank You!
That's him! Wow man....I am very impressed with that deep knowledge. I need you on my Wednesday night bar trivia team!

Come on man, you're unhappy with that?
It's a beauty, slide that bun over and wolf in.

I remember the character but couldn't recall the name, so i looked it up. Don't give me too much credit 
My favorite was Mayor McCheese.

It was a combination of disappointments -- fries were limp and underdone, drink wasn't full, straw missing in the bag, no ketchup.
The FoF was not the worst, but the whole experience soured me.

McDonalds doesnt guarantee that the food is: good, fresh, nutritious, properly made, warm, a good value, or actually food.
They advertise that it's "Fun" and people are "Lovin' it".
Each time I go, I wonder if the "Fun" was on their side or mine... cheese placement on a FOF is obviously a joke
I feel the same way about Pop Tarts.
The ads show animated (non-human) figures building things like houses out of them, but never actually eating them.
They are fun too...
I hear you and agree with most of what you say.
I may just be located in a no-man's land as far as consistent FoF and overall McD's quality are concerned.
Perhaps I should move to CA or WA -- the members there seem to have great luck with their FoF sandwiches!
Socal has Friday $2.50 FOF. If I skipped the fries I could have had a FOF and a Coke for less than $4. Actually afterwards, I kinda wished I would have bought a second FOF instead of fries. It would have been less money, basically the same calorie count, and would have been much tastier. That first FOF went quick. Fries were so-so.

Quoted from xsvtoys:second FOF
Unlike football analytics the correct play is to always go for 2.
Quoted from Slugmeister:always go for 2
LOL

Man, like I said.
I need to move to California. Consistently great FoF sandwiches over there!
Quoted from EasternBloc:Don’t shoot the messenger; thought it my duty to share.
Humor. Fake news.

That one I got did look pretty good I will admit. But, to be picky, I would prefer the sauce in the middle of the filet, not to the side. Any maybe a little bit more of it.
If they are still $2.50 I will try to get another one this Friday.
Arby's has partnered up with Pusha T to take down McDonalds and our beloved FoF! Here's the "diss track."
Kinda funny....I agree with the half slice of cheese part.

$3.29 for So so fries? They should of been Golden at that price.

And, the fries weren't that good. They probably were aged a bit, usually McD fries are pretty good.
If the Friday $2.50 deal is still going tomorrow, it will be 2 FOF and a coke, for $6.
Turned out I was on my own for dinner tonight. And, it is still $2.50 Friday FOF here. So this time, I skipped the expensive fries, got 2 FOF and a $1 Dr Pepper, $6 plus tax. Not bad. They are definitely fraternal twins, not identical. One bun fairly smooth and the other frowny. Both were very good eating though.
$2.50 Friday FOF ends on Apr 8, so still have 2 more chances at it.
First one's top bun has a weird birthmark.
Second one has the beginnings of the scrotum bun happening. Good thing they pulled that one of the steamer when they did. A few more minutes and you'd be looking at an overly dry and wrinkly bread roll.
That said, the fish and sauce are in good shape and dispensed in proper ratios.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:NSFP
Besmirched the shit out of this FoF!!
