| Chris on his frequency of McDonald's visits | ||
McDonald's is Christian Weston Chandler's restaurant of choice. His ideal first date would take place here.[1] His favorite items are the eight-piece Chicken McNuggets[2][3] and the $1 sweet tea,[4] though lately he has claimed to get salads more often when attempting to get in the good graces of female friends.
Additionally, Chris's preference for McDonald's was symbolic of his conflict with his dad, who preferred Burger King.[5][6]
Chris met the real-life B-Manajerk in a Wal-Mart McDonald's in June of 2005, an event which would later be dramatized in Sonichu 3.
Health issues
It is probable that Chris's inactive lifestyle and frequent patronage of McDonald's is the cause of his obesity. The number of times Chris claims to eat there, two or three times a week,[7] is equivalent to going an average of 130 times a year. During his phone call with Kacey and her father, he claimed to have cut down to one McDonald's trip per week at best, and even that was unquestionably a lie told to impress Mr. Devoria—once a week would still be more than enough to cause health issues. At this rate, Chris may develop serious medical problems—heart disease, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes are known to result from continued consumption of fast food.[8]
The trouble is that Chris doesn't seem to realize just how bad fast food actually is. He barely understood that fast food was bad for one's health until roughly the Liquid Saga, when at Kacey's behest he made a feeble effort to clean up his act as far as exercise and eating right. This mostly involved eating salads at McDonald's instead of his usual eight-piece box of chicken nuggets.
In a display of nutritional ignorance, he claimed that having grilled chicken with his garbage food was better than having breaded chicken. This is a common misconception—though grilled contains less fat than breaded, it still comes from a fast food chain and only seems healthy by comparison to everything else McDonald's serves. The "side salad" that he occasionally mentions eating is one of the more inoffensive items on the McDonald's menu, and grilled chicken salads are also not as unhealthy as most of their products. However, these salads are frequently drowned by fat people in cheese and high-calorie dressing. Chris claimed once (in effort to impress a girl, natch) that he refrains from using dressing, but given that he seems to have a dislike for foods without copious amounts of fat, salt, or sugar, this is almost certainly untrue.
Also, the sugar content of a small McDonald's sweet tea is 36 grams.[9] The recommended daily intake of sugar for an adult is about 40 grams.[10]
In Sonichu
- There is a McDonald's in the CWCville Shopping Center.
- Sub-Episodes #4 and #5 take place in "the city of M-C-Dville, of the region of Mal-Wart."
- A McDonald's ripoff, CWCee Dees (pronounced like "Quicky Dee's") appears in Sonichu #9. Punchy took Layla there on their first date.
McDonald's Monopoly
In 2009, McDonald's held a Monopoly promotion. Chris claimed to not care about it in a video, only to create more accounts later and enter 65 codes from purchased goods, which may seem familiar to seasoned CWC watchers.

McCosplay
In the beginning of October 2010, Chris apparently remembered Jackie telling him that she liked his cosplay videos. Following a controversial cosplay video over two weeks before, Chris decided to continue his act with McDonald's characters.
His first McDonaldland act was the Hamburglar, where he ran around his room acting batshit crazy, wearing a BDSM costume that looked far more like an obese Voldo than the Hamburglar.
The next day, Chris attempted to cosplay Grimace. Needless to say, the Grimace costume he made was beyond recognition. Whilst wearing the costume, he delivered a speech about autism and bullying before breaking out into song. It is likely that Chris got this idea from an episode of Family Guy in which Lois dresses up as The Grimace - Peter responds with a comment that Grimace is autistic himself.
