I’m Lovin’ It

While in London, we noticed these mobile garbage collection units outside of some of their McDonald’s.  We assume that they actually pay employees to go out and find the trash that their customers discard on the floor of the neighborhood that surrounds their McD’s.

What a WILD concept!  Such a shame McD’s doesn’t employ such practices here in the States.  You know, trying to be a good neighbor and all.  Instead, we live with the filth of McD’s until the wind picks it up or the rain washes it down into sewers.

Happy Shamrock Shake Day!

Go ahead and call us anti-establishment for not wanting to wish you a happy Paddies Day with a shamrock, or by becoming a drunken, vile, fool at a parade.

Enjoy your shamrock shake.  Happy Paddies Day!

The Shamrock Shake!

Last week we were suckered into buying a Shamrock Shake at McDonald’s, and by suckered, we mean had to go out of our way to find a Shamrock Shake at a McDonald’s.

After visiting four McDonald’s over the course of two days, we finally got our hands on this little green shake that is supposed to drive people insane with desire.  We went, we bought, we sipped, we were disappointed at first with it, we were in lust with it several sips later, and then we finally had ourselves a belly ache.

We can now say that while we still aren’t sure how this was ever something that drove people to scour the scores of New York City McDonald’s in search of it, but we can say that we drank a green shake like a gluttonous fool until it hurt.

 

McDonald’s Awkward Salute To Black History

With February being Black History Month, McDonald’s has decided to honor the faces of black history with paper tray liners containing 17 faces of people who, as far as we can tell, have nothing to do with the history of black people.

In fact, the liner actually has the faces of black people who work in the local New York City media (we wonder if they have a different liner for different cities).  It has the familiar faces of newscasters Janice Huff, Sade Baderinwa, and Craig Treadway, as well as several behind the scenes folks like a cameraman, a writer, and radio personality / recent prisoner Funkmaster Flex.

While these people are, for the most, positive role models, where are the actual faces of black history?

Didn’t the people at McDonald’s hear of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Frederick Douglass, William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, and the Amistad survivors?  Surely someone at McDonald’s had to have heard of them before they decided to pander to the masses with this, right?

The McRib

Up until last week, we had only heard the rumors to the legend of the McRib.  And now, due to unfortunate geographical circumstances of lunch locations, our belly has been lucky enough to have had three of these delicious cups of tea in it.

We’ve seen the light.  Yes, the McRib is it! The rumors about the deliciousness of the McRib are all true.

In our humble opinions, the McRib is a tasty, boneless, likely cholesterol time bomb, and would most likely have been entombed in golden urns with the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt — for nourishment in the eternal afterlife — had it been invented a several millennia ago .
