Ever since someone told me that the gherkin is only included because without it a McHamburger couldn't be classified as a savoury food, there's so much sugar in it - I have eschewed same. 
. I have never eaten in a McDonalds in the last twelve years, nor do I particularly want to. I had this friend who, when conscientiously working in a McDonalds during his student days, wanted to have theme nights; one example that he produced was 'Evil Dictator night;' you approach the drive-in and Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, or another loveable rogue on the dust heap of History, pops out and asks you whether you want fries with that.
