Sorry Cat

I hope that you don't have to go to McDonalds again after this post, but this just fits in so well with my Obsession post I had to add it!

So, due to my occupation I get subscriptions to all sorts of fun trade magazines, including Restaurants & Institutions Magazine. I was catching up on some past issues when I saw this interesting McDonalds fact:

In India, McDonalds offers the Maharaja Mac , marketed with the jingle,

"Two all-lamb patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun."

Hee hee...all-lamb patties...I guess it just makes sense!

Maybe McDonalds should branch out a bit more with their products like that - In Greece they could sell the 'Fig Mac'. And I'm sure Native American Indians would be quite partial to a 'Quarter Pounder with Chief'...

Ooh, I feel imporatant having my name in a subject line. Ha! Not to worry about the McD's craving since I'm up in the middle of the night sick (and without glasses so I apologize for typos as I can't really see what I'm writing...)

And... ha ha ha! All-lamb patties. That's so catchy!

Waiiiitaminute... in India? Don't they have that "Our parents have been reincarnated as cattle" belief?

So the marketing campaign, under my regime, anyway, would read as:

"Two tasty tasty patties made of your reincarnated relatvies, special sauce, lettuce, etc."

Grace?!? Did you want a slaughtering noise too? Actually, that would be the most revolutionary commercial of the 20th century ;)

Grace! Bwahahahahaha! I love it! We should put little moo moo sounds in our ads, too. *snerk*

Sadly it still wouldn't keep me from eating those cheeseburgers. Yum... bad, Cat. No bad foods!

Hmm... wonder if it's real lamb? I mean they question it being real beef here, right?

My boss has a picture of himself standing next to a McDonalds sign in Denmark advertising McPork. He said it looked like a half-cooked pork chop on a bun. The look on his face sort of makes you think twice about getting it.

When I was in Italy we went into the McDonalds, but I couldn't bring myself to eat there. It just smelled odd. And I was afraid of Mad Cow Disease. Hee.
