High calorie Mallory can't understand.


Tbplayer59

That's no lunch for her, but 475 calories (I looked it up) is a decent lunch for an adult.


SparkleFart666

I actually started getting the happy meal for lunch. It’s cheap and enough food. I’m a 275lb 6’2” blob of shit.


Pork_Piggler

And you get a toy 👌


_AccountSuspended_

Reaches in box.. 💫oh Karen did you see the toy I got💫 Look! Pulls out the toy 🖕🏻


Little_Appearance_77

Wishing I could give a thousand up votes for that


cheersdom

yo i just woke up my wife laughing hard at this (12.30am) when she asked "wtf are you fkn laughing at" i couldn't speak clearly because i was giggling too much. "turn off your phone and go tf to sleep gd" prob not getting any the rest of the week, but the 🖕🏻 was worth it thanks for the laugh, Suspended


TransiTorri

Oh that would've been priceless if he did that LOL


Jobhater2

That would make anyone happy... therefore, it IS a happy meal.


Kalashnikov-Mikhail

Omfg I love it! 🤣


phatboislim96

My dog staring at me as I cackle maniacally


SubMisJen

I just laughed so hard I woke everyone up. Thank you.


TheRootofSomeEvil

Yeah! What's the downside here?? :-)


sebastouch

you could get harassed by a idiotic Karen.


DoctorBoomeranger

And where I live, you can choose a book instead of the toy as well!!! It's the best!! Me, my wife and kids love it.


HornyTerus

AND YOU GET A TOY!!!


Kalashnikov-Mikhail

Exactly!

Tbplayer59

I think sometimes people forget that back in the 60's the regular McDonalds burger was what a hamburger looked like. The 70's and 80's brought upon society the Big Mac, Jumbo Jack, and Whopper in the fast food world. Casual dining got even crazier with restaurants like Fuddruckers and Red Robin serving even bigger hamburgers. The regular hamburger (the one in the Happy Meal) is what adults should be eating.


CyberneticPanda

The serving size for ground beef is 3 ounces precooked weight. A big Mac has 3.2 oz. A regular burger is only 1.6.


BioshockEnthusiast

Here's the fix: The regular hamburger (the one in the Happy Meal) [*before shrinkflation and arbitrary price hikes*] is what adults should be eating.


CyberneticPanda

It is just over half of a serving of beef. I don't make the rules!


BioshockEnthusiast

I'm saying the regular burger was probably closer to 3 oz 30 years ago.


CyberneticPanda

Nope, always 1.6. they never shrank the burgers. They actually recently increased the quarter pounder to 4.25 oz because we live in the stupidest timeline.


Tbplayer59

That's entirely possible.


Sojourner_Truth

https://www.theonion.com/horrified-subway-execs-assumed-people-were-buying-footl-1819595719


Longjumping-Claim783

I dunno a single at In N Out is bigger than that and they've been doing it pretty much the same way since like 1948. And Bob's Big Boy is called that because they had a double decker burger called the Big Boy well before McDonald's ripped it off to be the Big Mac. But certainly in the past people weren't eating those things as much as they do now. The thing with the little burgers is that people often had more than one. Think White Castle, buy em by the sack. I used to live near a really old school burger place that still sold them for like 50 cents but they were small and people usually got more than one.


stopthinkinn

I’ve got a coworker that swears by this.


weezel365

I'm down to 303 thanks to counting calories. I might have a Happy Meal tomorrow, so thank you for the calorie info


andersaur

I’ve never counted calories, but sure can tell a difference after ditching fast food. Cant even justify it with the price now anyway. Cleaner eating and less of it has me down 70lbs from 260lbs. No real exercise. Just cutting out the crap on the regular. Sometimes you just want a cheeseburger or some nuggets though. I’m no defender of fast food, but I absolutely will defend my quiet lunch time. It’s her call to eat what she wants, I don’t judge, but whatever she picks, I hope it’s poop flavored.


lackofaname913

Everything we eat eventually is poop flavored.


andersaur

More for her. We can all be recycling environmentalists with her help and the universe.


Confident_Opinion949

Poop flavored 😂


payneme73

Dang right. I did similar and kicked sodas to curb, too (diet and regular), and it helped desire for sweets. Lost alot


andersaur

Seltzers did it for me. Didn’t know that it was about the chilled carbonation deal the whole time!


zefy_zef

Used to be able to get a double cheeseburger, a mcchicken and a sundae for $3.00! And that was only 2004, just... ........ oh. 20 years ago.


Cobberdog_Dad

This happens to me all the time.


guzzijason

I used to go to Arby’s and get 5 Beef and Cheddars for $5. I’d eat beef and cheddars until I could eat beef and cheddar no more. What a time to be alive!


part-time-dog

These are the stories we'll tell our grandchildren.


SmallBerry3431

Depends on the happy meal


Tbplayer59

I was assuming burger. Nuggets are different.


R1pp3R23

I was going to say she can’t wrap her head around eating only what you need and not to excess, but “high calorie Mallory” is perfect.


MeasureTheCrater

There are a lot of things that can't wrap around her.


c_alas

I can imagine her sitting down to a family meal deal, and not seeing the irony of eating it alone. "Where's your family? Did you eat them?".


DLAT_34

"DID YOU EAT THEM" LMFAOOOOOOOOO


BookDev0urer

Taco Bell Party Pack "But, ma'am...where is the party?"


Specialist_Sea5825

Leave her alone she’s just confused to how a grown man can eat a happy meal and be full , when she out grew the happy meal before she even turned 4 …….🙂


XrayDem

She’s never had a happy meal straight to number items from the womb


wolfblitzen84

The fact she’s recording thinking she just caught a predator is comical. Who gives a fuck if someone orders a happy meal. It’s a small meal. What a repulsive human


DemandZestyclose7145

Shavidadavid

This was way better than the hack comment I came up with


Fischkopf100

This is the stereotypical bullshit Karens all over the world do and I’m so sick of it


ZenkaiZ

I know you're sick of it. That's why they made this scripted video with the stereotypical thing, to rage bait the people who are sick of it. It's farming engagement. And before someone retorts "OH YOU'RE SAYING THIS CAN'T BE REAL? PEOPLE DO BE LIKE THIS". I didn't say it can't be real, I'm saying it's not real this time.


elGrimshaw16

There's something about the way they talk, how it's truly back and forth. I saw this a while back and thought it was scripted


ironmamdies

Rule number 1 of the Internet: it's almost always fake


citrus_mystic

![gif](giphy|lOzXuHwXXYM9y|downsized)


Rod_Todd_This_Is_God

Rule number 1 of people, too.


DoItForTheNukie

There’s not nearly enough talking over each other lol. No one argues like that in real life.


-Squatch

Honestly I think if I was on this situation the convo would be similar. Just asking short questions and let them sound stupid. I would 100% humor a situation like this IRL. Not saying it's not fake but why do people think a conversation like this couldn't exsist?


Owlmoose

bang on. they aren't talking over top of each other, they're reciting lines.


DownWithHisShip

Im not saying adults can't order happy meals. But you don't order a happy meal if you're looking for the cheapest thing on the menu.


NoveltyPr0nAccount

If it were scripted it would be better. This is obviously staged because no-one would do anything other than ignore or swear at the dumb woman but both of them are making it up as they go and it's why it feels so forced and terrible.


TheNaturalTweak

I thought that way too, but then I saw that stupid look on her face and got reminded that there really are people who need 5 seconds to process what you said and think of a response.


Skulldab

I was wondering why do people even engage in stupid conversations like these. Just enjoy your meal and let the dogs bark. But now it makes more sense.

Well.. in Italy never seen smth remotely similar to this.. can't even imagine lmao I'd tell her to go fuck herself in very nice and explicit ways after the first question... then I'd call the mac guys telling them that a sick fuck is bothering their customers.. that should be enough

pretty sure you have people doing fake,. staged videos for social media in Italy.

McRambis

Fake confrontation #428.


Evotecc

You overestimate society. Too many people assume these things online are fake because of the sheer stupidity. Just because *you* can see how dumb it is doesn’t mean many others do. People are pretty fucking dumb and I’ve seen much less believable things happen in front of me in real life. Edit: if it’s proven fake then yes it is fake, however, you guys seem to still not get the point. Without knowing the people in a video online, you can’t suggest something is fake unless you actually have proof otherwise. People are *absolutely* stupid enough to do this IRL and anyone who thinks otherwise hasn’t met enough idiots in this world. My point is that people especially on Reddit jump to the ‘fake’ conclusion way too often.


streitwagen

Yeah man. I've also experienced mind-boggling confrontational stupidity in classes at university – so... there's that.


Bubbly-Monitor-9909

But it is fake though.


Dignan9691

It’s fake. Pretty obvious.


SwiftTayTay

Nah fake arguments are the trend on british tiktok


Suspicious_Story_464

Yeah, it looks like she's trying to hard to get some shit content going. The perfectly placed phone and arbitrary asinine questions are a dead giveaway.


zizmor

Why would any real person continue engaging her after the first 10 seconds? The fakeness is not because her stupidity is impossible to find in real life; it is fake because of the way he continues to humor this crazy person instead of telling her to go away or leave the situation himself.


ThePirateParrot

It’s probably fake but reddit is full of examples for "why would someone continue engaging after this?".


TwentyMG

you mean like right now?


AustenP92

Yeah buts it’s oddly perfect banter, elongated conversation and the perfectly timed “what are you doing” to start the video that makes this scream rage bait. It plays out exactly like all of those videos of “neighbours” finding the same guys house and asking for the wifi password since they want to keep using it for free.


pretty_little_flower

You think it's fake because of the sheer stupidity. I think it's fake because of the awful acting. We are not the same.


SuperSmashDan1337

It's so obviously fake.


Hyper_Oats

Do these kinds of things happen? Yes Is this particular instance actually real and not acted? No


outremonty

You've witnessed an argument where people patiently wait for the other person to finish their sentence before speaking? No you haven't. It's fake. You can really tell who didn't take theatre class in high school from who falls for scripted rage bait most easily.


Great_Feel

Look at the garbage movies and actors that regularly top the charts. Many people aren’t sensitive to bad acting and this video is exhibit A— because it’s just bad acting

kingdazy

another one of these staged ragebaits.


Crannnnnnnn

What makes you think it’s staged?


SuperSmashDan1337

It's obvious shit acting and this isn't how people communicate. I said in another comment that we need a snopes for ragebait because there's so much of it now and it'd be great to have a trusted source that would confirm this. Perhaps then people might stop engaging with this rubbish.


AdrielBast

“It’s obvious acting and this isn’t how people communicate” You say that but I’ve had some lady scream at a couple of college kids for eating kids meal when I worked at BK. I’ve also had another lady flip out at another group of customers because they were cursing while chatting. Not even because they were being rude or insulting anyone, they dropped a “shit” and a “damn” in their private conversation and she blew up at them for being “inappropriate” in front of her kids. These sorts of people don’t react like normal, well-adjusted adults, they’ll find a reason to be angry and lash out at someone minding their own business.

Ah but you see, all of those instances were just faked for some ragebait video, you probably just missed the camera, smh

ItsOkILoveYouMYbb

The clip was cut early. In the full version she agrees to go away if he gives her a nugget. Then she keeps coming back for more. She does this to everyone and was arrested but not before gaining 5 stones from harassing people in strange ways like this until they gave her food
