"The poorest thing that I do on a regular basis is grab an American cheese single from my fridge before driving to McDonald’s for the $1 sausage biscuit."
I started laughing after reading this post but then I started to think "Wait, why am I not doing this?" I asked my brother if he was actually serious about this instance or if it was exaggerated for his twitter following. He told me that he has been doing this practice for years now and that the McDonald's workers always get a kick out of it.
After sharing the post, my brother got a handful of 'favorites' and also a few retweets. One of the funnier retweets was from a girl named Amanda who claimed "This is what I do at restaurants when I order omelettes!" Imagine if this became the norm? Going to a fancy steakhouse and a patron pulling an extra ingredient out of his or her pocket just to save a buck. I bet the owners would be thrilled...
My brother went on to say he even switches up the cheese flavors sometimes. Last Friday when he went for his sausage biscuit he goes to the lady "I got pepper jack today!" and they both shared a laugh. I wonder if the food engineers at McDonald's corporate imagined this happening to their recipes. Certain individuals around the world getting their food off the menu and then adding a special ingredient to it to make it taste better. I know it was a few Thanksgivings ago where the new rage was using White Castles' burgers as a form of stuffing for the holiday bird. I am curious to see what the next fast food trend is going to be and I am excited to try it.
Very funny and light hearted post! I have to say I'm impressed by your brother's ingenuity. It definitely makes me think about all the times I have tried to save a buck doing something like this.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of anyone doing this. How many more people out there do this? I kind of want to ask around to see if anyone I know personally who's tried this.
