>>3789399well supposedly that beef tallow smell is the typical smell we associate with macdonalds restaurants. cause you know, when you're near a macdonalds, it smells like a macdonalds. it doesn't smell like burgers, it doesn't smell like potatoes, it doesn't smell like oil, it just smells like a macdonalds.
but some time ago, they discovered that it would be cheaper to just replace the beef tallow with palm oil and then use artificial flavorings to get the smell down. and that's why macdonalds smells like it does and why their fries are so good.
