At this point, I’m starting to wonder if McDonald’s pays a room full of people just to sit around and come up with Frankenstein concoctions for their failing business.
McDonald’s essentially given up on selling food, and they now almost exclusively pedal gimmicks instead.
$1 sodas! Buy one happy meal, get a second free! A hamburger with chicken patty as the buns! A McChicken with Big Mac sauce on it.
Except, that last one isn’t just me hating on McDonalds, as that is their latest Frankenstein concoction. As usual, they are rolling it out in foreign countries before they unleash it on the American masses.
via Mashable:
Predictably it’s called the Chicken Big Mac, and features all the other ingredients you’d get on the burger — lettuce, cheese, special sauce, on a sesame seed bun — but with McChicken patties instead.
Of course the Chicken Big Mac isn’t a purely an Australian thing. The Chicken Big Mac is sold in Qatar, Egypt, the UAE and the Netherlands — but for the rest of the world you’ll have to spend a little more time explaining your order.
Also launching in Australia are these Cheeseburger Shaker Fries, which is a seasoning that combines the taste of “beef, onions, pickle, ketchup, mustard and cheese” — you know, like a cheeseburger.
So for those of you out there who have always wish they made a Big Mac, except with chicken, your dreams have come true. But that said, if you are dreaming about Big Macs, you should probably just off yourself.
