From the #McDonalds Facebook page:
Somehow this doesn't inspire confidence, especially if you have young children or elderly family members affected. And their, "We're sorry" comes off as being a little trite as if the company is a naughty toddler caught stealing from the cookie jar, confronted and made to apologize after standing in the corner for 5 minutes.
@zenmudprod Is it true portion sizes are smaller in European McDonalds? Because I have heard, particularly in France, they are less inclined to load you up on soda, which a lot of people in America are addicted to. I cut it out awhile ago because of the sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and caramel colors. I might have one rarely but if I do I limit the amount.
@zenmudprod Oui, je parle franรงais, je ne savais pas que c'รฉtait comme รงa qu'ils appelaient McDonalds. Merci!
Just a note though my language skills aren't the best so if I ever say something in French that doesn't sound correct please feel free to let me know.โฅ๏ธ

Oui, en effet : and pronounced like "bread dough" not "to do"...
"Mac-doughs"
I wrote in French de temps en temps because I don't want to lose it; in my image above, the French border is barely visible as the arc of trees to left of school and parking area, at top of image.

Oh: "portion sizes" ~ were not drastically different, if memory serves ๐ ๐ค

It was 2010 when I returned to USA ๐บ๐ธ
My memory is that "free refills" did not exist.
Truth be told, I think I did Burger King 6x in Genรจve, in 12 years. (I fancied a blonde Suissesse who worked there)... don't remember doing "McDos" (as said en franรงais).
