I’m Lovin’ It – The Crave For McDonald’s In Malaysia

Boon — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 23:16:01 +0000

With its standardized menu, recognizable golden arch, and broad base of customers, McDonald’s owns the world’s largest fast food chain of restaurants. Being far away from New York, I was craving for some of McDonald’s goodness. For lunch, I decided to head over to the McDonald’s near my current location, Puchong, Malaysia.

At the McDonald’s drive-through in Tesco, Puchong, Malaysia, I ordered the McChicken and Double CheeseBurger McValue Meals. At the pick up window, I was surprised by the total of my order. The total came to RM 12.50, which is equivalent to $3.57 USD at the current conversion rate of $1 USD to RM 3.5. For $3.57, I was able to enjoy 2 medium drinks, 2 medium fries, 1 McChicken Sandwich and 1 Double Cheese Burger. *Burp*

Cheers to globalization and the power of higher currency, I’m Lovin’ It!

Caryl Jones is suing McDonald’s because the iced tea she ordered last September wasn’t iced tea. When she took a sip, the liquid burned her mouth, causing her to spit it out. She ended up in the emergency room and it look her a couple of months to recover from chemical pharyngitis and tonsillitis.

The contents of the cup contained Dichloro-s-Triazinetrione Dihydrate, aka “McD Sanitizer.” Jone is seeking $100.000 from negligence and breach of contract.

Giant Egg In Chicago Tells You Breakfast Is Served

We all know that Mcdonald’s stops serving breakfast at 10:30am. But what if you are craving a sausage and egg mcmuffin and don’t know what time it is? Rather than ask stranger or look like a fool for ordering breakfast during the lunch hours, you can rely on the ginormous mechanical egg in Chicago. When the egg is cracked open, that means breakfast is being and served, and when it closes, no more mcmuffin for you!

A Lil’ Lesson In History, The Hula Burger

I was in class last night and we were discussing about product failures by major companies. One of the products we discussed was a food product that was introduced by McDonald’s in the 1950’s. Ray Kroc, the owner of McDonalds, noticed that hamburger consumption decreased on Fridays. What he realized was that the Catholics didn’t eat meat on Fridays and there was no other alternative to sell at the franchises. Well, the best meat substitute he could find was pineapple. He deep fried the pineapple and placed it in between two buns with the regular burger fixings. Needless to say, it didn’t sell well and it only lasted a few months on the market until it was pulled. It wasn’t until the early 1962 when one of the franchisee owners came up with the classic Filet-O-Fish Sandwich.
