McDonald’s: plans for new menu and competition

Fast food giant McDonald’s seem to be past the $4 million card-skimming incident with the announcement of a new competition and their new line of ‘Mc’ themed specialist meals.

 

McDonald’s CEO Jim Skinner said he was proud to announce the Angus Burger Competition to celebrate the success of their fancy new range.

 

“You’ve seen the original Willy Wonka movie, yeah? Well, the competition’s gonna work a bit like that.

 

“Only that instead of a golden ticket, five of the burgers will have a chunk of Angus Sampson as the meat. Anyone who can tell the difference deserves a tour of the factory.

 

“And yeah, so the grand prize for these lucky five people is to take the wondrous and magical tour of our slaughterhouses – it’s always very popular with the kids.

 

“As for our new range of meals, we’re obviously disappointed that our McCurry range could not go forward because of copyright issues, but we do have some great new titles ready.

 

“We’ve got the McPasta range from Italy, the McHaggis from Scotland, the McSeasonedFrogLegsDeluxewithRedWineMonaLisaandSundriedTuscanSnail from France and McMcDonald’s from America.

 

“Also for the first time we are introducing an Australian meal to our international chain, called the McPieFloater.

 

“And the best news is that all these products will be 100% racial-and-cultural-stereotype-free.”
