That biscuit v muffin map is pure rage-a-hol -- (link) - jangles Oct 6, 13:23 36

  - See what I said below. - Spawn Oct 6, 14:50 1
    - Not having popular items is not how this should go. They downplayed the fact that the menu would be limited. People wouldn't have been so excited - Krusty Oct 6, 15:09

- muffins and biscuits are two rather different things afaik -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 6, 13:31 3
  - really? do tell... -- nm - znufrii Oct 6, 14:06
  - muffins != english muffins -- nm - Beryllium Oct 6, 13:37
  - muffins are lighter with a bread like crust, biscuits are much denser without much crust at all, often added raw to a stew to cook as part of the meal - zeitgeist Oct 6, 13:36
- I'm in mcmuffin land, who the eff would ever choose that over a biscuit!? -- nm - MDH Oct 6, 13:30 15
  - I always found biscuits too dry and crumbly for a good breakfast sandwich. - znufrii Oct 6, 14:10
  - They both, of course, pale in comparison to the McGriddle. -- nm - Ender Oct 6, 13:36 5
    - *throws up in his mouth a little bit* -- nm - znufrii Oct 6, 14:06
    - You've never been more wrong, Ender. I'm with MDH on this one. McDonald's biscuit > McMuffin > bat vomit > McGriddle - ReluctantCynic Oct 6, 13:46 1
      - Only Indiana gets the bat vomit option -- nm - jangles Oct 6, 14:04

      - There is this. - iSpam Oct 6, 13:59 3
        
        even the non-eggwhite version is helpful - it's only ~50 calories fewer than a regular mcmuffin, which is ~300, as is. the fewest for as-is biscuits -- (edited) - b. Oct 6, 14:09 2
        
        Sorry, I meant for taste not nutrition. I was totally unclear with this :) - spamlet Oct 6, 14:23 1
        
        oh yah? I tried the white version only when it first came out, and for free even; but it was icky, and my sister said her experience was - b. Oct 6, 14:26
    - Hardees generally has pretty good biscuits so I'd imagine they're good on that coast as well. -- nm - spamlet Oct 6, 13:38
  - This has to be something they did to see how big of a response they get, right? Then at some point later they say that by popular demand, both are - Spawn Oct 6, 13:34
- That is total BS. -- nm - Spawn Oct 6, 13:30 2
  - Hey, Blind Squirrel found his daily nut -- nm* - jangles Oct 6, 13:40 1
    - You have... weird squirrels. -- nm - Spawn Oct 6, 13:41

      - It's fine -- nm - jangles Oct 6, 13:39 1
        
        oh, right, you would say that. -- nm - b. Oct 6, 13:40
