huh, i thought they had phased out beef in favor of post-consumer waste. so much easier to bulldoze than fallen cattle.

Isn't the big mac at least 60% bun? And surely the tomatoes-sauce-lettuce-cheese-pickles-onions takes up some volume? In addition to the shit.

Nothing like fresh organic tomatoes, some local lettuce, organic pickles, and other fine ingredients to change your mind ...

“What kind of bold claim is it that you actually make a beef food out of beef?”
My sister-in-law once worked for an ad agency that represented one of the smaller national burger chains; the first campaign she worked on for them was for a newly-launched burger. When she was told that her "100% real beef" ad was a no-go, she was stunned to be told that her follow-up idea using the phrase "real meat" or "100% real meat" was also a no-go because, well, the burgers weren't.

It's not so much a bold claim as a best defnse is a good offense type strategy, because they fear people supsect them of.. see @18.

I forget it was McDonalds, I think it was them, I saw somebody advertising about ten years ago that they were using Real Cheese and my first, gut reaction is, my gawd, they've found a way to make a plastic cheese food but copyright a name that makes you think they're not using a plastic cheese food.
