Surely it's Maccy D's? MacDonalds, MacFries... MacBurger... MacFlurry. It's how Mc is pronounced :S Mickey D's is just how people pronunciate Mac without emphasis on the 'a'.Quote:

KFC!!!!!
It's pronounced "Mc", not "Mac". There is no "a" related sound in there. But the correct slang Is "Maccy D's" or "Mackies". Who the hell says "Mickey D's"? :S.Quote:

lmao Kerby, If i had to choose it would be Burger King. =/ I don't really like either to be honest.
Mickey D's was part of McDonald's advertising campaign years ago. Maccy D's is basically the Chinese whispers result. Never been known as Maccy D's. McDonald's trademarked it, however, as a lot of people say it, even though they are incorrect.Quote:

I dislike most of MACCY D'S food, I only really like their chicken nuggets and chips, aha. Burger King's chips are amazing and I love their chicken royale burger with cheese or w/e it's called. Also, when they did popcorn chicken that was the best oh my god. mmm
The nursery rhyme "Old MacDonald Had A Farm" is older than McDonald's Corporation, so by that logic it should be pronounced 'Mac' :PQuote:

But this is just arguing pedantics and how certain words are pronounced :P
I don't like fast food at all. But i'd say McDonalds.
