They sure do. They also have this little mini's now which are awesome if you haven't tried them. Also this show raw onions, all the ones I have had have caramelized onions.
Good. I hate the ridiculously overpowering fresh red onions on everything these days. Had a steak sandwich from Panera the other day and about a quarter of the way in to it the onion flavor and like...gassy burny vapors in the back of my mouth/throat was just ruining every bite from there on. And anything else for the next fucking two hours.

Fuck. I like onions on my burgers and sanwiches but not if it's going to be the only thing I taste after a minute.

Burger King is super guilty of that.

I dislike red onions in general so I have switched over to just not getting onions at all.

Sometimes I crave the reconstituted dry onions that McD's uses on their McDouble, and regular burger and cheeseburger.

Funny thing, man I love those too. I got to love them since working there. I do it to my burgers now. Just take a little ramekin put in a few tbs of dried onions and put some cold water on them, then like 15 min later, drain the excess water and enjoy. Its like a staple for when ever we have burgers.

Subway and Applebee's...ugh.

I used to know this truck driver, and he would talk about how anytime you go into a gas station with a Subway attached, you're hit with that Subway smell. I started to notice it after that conversation, and now just the smell of Subway makes me sick. The food is terrible, I don't know why anyone would willingly eat there.
My brother worked at Subway when he was in high school, and holy mother of christ, he smelled like hot death when he came home. It was just unbearable.

The last few posts about those "onions" at McDonald's are weird. They have like no taste. I don't mind them, but I don't know how I could crave them. I don't know what to crave.

Has anyone had Jersey Mike's? They just opened one up near my apartment but I'm skeptical as shit.

Jimmy Johns sucks ass, they are a higher priced Subway really. I gotta go with Capriotti's for sub chains, haven't had a bad sandwich from them and the Bobbie is awesome.

When I say "I don't know what to crave." I meant specifically with those bland little onion squares at McDizzles!

Never had it even though there is one close by, but people really seem to love it. If your only choice was that place or Subawy, I hear it's 1000x better.

I feel like I can definitely taste them, but not to the point that it's something I'd crave. Weird habit I have if I find myself stuck with McDonald's is to get a mcdouble with everything and pull the pickles off afterwards. I like the taste left behind, but the texture of semi-soggy pickles on a burger kills it for me.

I cant say I CRAVE them, but they are good on a burger. Beats the sharp bite of a real onion that just overwhelms.

There is a burger joint around here, kind of like a pub called Redcoat Tavern that puts onion juice into their mayo, thats some good shit too.

Thanks for reminding me - they were awesome as anything if they're the place I remember from being a pretty tiny kid (my earliest days were Jersey) - and we got one up that came in not too long ago near where the wife needs to go get her MRI tonight and I keep forgetting to try them because they're out of the way.

No clue how much my pallet as a sub-10 year old (I moved to DE at roughly 10) will translate to recent times, so don't take "great" as fact - but I'm definitely curious how my kid pallet translates. (I do still enjoy most stuff from my youth though)

Jersey Mike's is good. I'd probably pick it over Jimmy Johns if I was ranking them. The roast beef is legit and real too.

You can't put enough onions on something for my liking. Chicken Carbonara sandwich at Quiznos has grilled onions by default, and I add a double-helping of raw red onions to it as well. It's amazing. So much onion that it's almost like eating something with wasabi/horseradish on it, you can feel it in your sinuses when you get a big bite. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm
