This month’s special at Mickey D’s: Double beef-patty burger, topped with two slices of “bacon”, a little greenery and a dollop of special sauce, all nestled atop a thick layer of buttery mashed potatoes. The meal includes a side of French Fries and a soft drink. Supersize it for a dollar more! All of this to your door for 27 Yuan, or $4.50. Now that’s a killer bargain!
Shit how many people have dropped dead from this?
I don’t want to know! but I’m not willing to try the death-burger myself…i ain’t no guinea pig!
Maybe it be fun if I tried lil homey. Hook me up to machines and watch how quickly I phase in and out of consciousness ! Then I can do some operate heavy machinery experiments while under the influence
Oh yes that’s the alternative to a heart attack! Extreme strength! Maybe the burger is steroidal!
LOL prolonged steroid abuse I think weakens the heart, the roid game is crazy now. Plus the last thing I need is more testosterone without a significant other. Being backed up worse than the Holland tunnel at rush hours means worsened eyesite and hairer palms, not a good look lil homey
Oof, yeah don’t want hairy palms…I didn’t even know hair could grow there!
Amazing. I’m glad I went vegetarian. Six months now; not even mayonnaise. My philosophy is, “if I can’t pronounce the ingredients, I don’t eat it.”
Then you probably don’t eat a lot of Chinese food haha! And congrats on the vegetarianism! I lasted as a vegetarian for a whole year..I was so proud. Then, I had Chinese food and it ruined my streak.
Give me conveinience or give me death…… yikes.
Or both! That’s what the ad seems to be suggesting.
oh! Great topic. I’ve been taking pictures of the Mickey D’s deals, too. It’s sad. Some of the kids I teach love this stuff, and they are 10 years old.
Such a vulnerable age! Perhaps you can base one of your lesson plans around healthful eating! It would be interesting to show them that photo of the death-burger and see what they say about it…I wonder if they would actually go for it… Hmm I might try that myself!
barf-o-rama
you said it!
I champion the opinion that China is going to win, but now I’m beginning to wonder if America is fighting back. The new “cold war”, Kill em all with Big Macs. Well done America, well done. Or it could all just be some clever Chinese yellow-journalism (no pun intended) to lull America further into complacency. The future should be interesting.
It’s working…Chinese rollie-pollies slowly dying off as America rakes in the big bucks and continues to build up their army of iphone and Rolls Royce dealers ready to attack.
Get in mah belleeee!
And then I’ll head to the gym for, like, a year…
And still suffer a stroke next week, from the cholesterol contained in this monstrosity.
Ugh, so not worth it…I can barely handle going to the gym a whole WEEK straight!
Mashed potato on a burger… and I thought I had seen it all when I had a burger in Australia, with beet root. What will they invent next? [shaking in my boots]
haha, RICE on a burger–Chinese style!
Try it. It’ll put hair on your chest.
ewwwwwww
This is a rubbish burger – where’s the cheese? And who wants lettuce with their coronary?
I’m part serious too – I like my burgers unmolested by vegetation, the BK equivalent – was mash potato, a “steak” like burger, mushrooms, onions, cheese, bacon and sauce and it was fab. It was more expensive though at 48 RMB for the meal.
Then they took it away and replaced it with an ugly salad burger and I haven’t been back since.
McD’s in China is really awful though – no quarter pounders and the ordinary burgers taste like cat food…
hahahaha that is an entire meal placed between two buns! I actually prefer McDonald’s over the other fast food restaurants because Mickey D’s has a tasty spicy chicken sandwich that they don’t have in the US. And sometimes they even have curly fries! Very inconsistent though…can’t trust that.
