chopsticks
Last week was one of the hardest weeks I've ever had. I want to write more, becuase I think it will help me to make sense of it all. But, earlier attempts have read more like a sociology report, so no luck just yet.
Anyway, today, I was having lunch with Ed up at McDonald's north of here. We began talking about talking about the decor at various McDonald's, having noticed that it tends to vary from franchise to franchise. Ed asked how mine would be decorated if I owned one, and I replied "ninja's." So, with that said, he asked if mine would ressurect the "Chicken McNuggets Shanghi." Everyone remember's that right. It was the regular Chicken McNuggets, and it came with chopsticks and 3 "oriental" dipping sauces: sweet and sour, spicy mustard, and teryaki.
As we discussed that and other discontinued McDonald's products, I noticed that there were 4 men in the booth next to us, all wearing ties and McDonald's dress shirts. I conclude that it is likely the store manager talking to a couple of big wigs, probablly some sort of regional reps. So, I point it out to Ed, and say that if we want to see any of these products come back, we should mention it loudly. So, the following takes place:
Me: Whatever happened to the 2 cheesburger value meal. I really like that. Ed: (pointing to the menu) It's not up there. Me: I never see it anywhere anymore.
(random conversation)
Big Wig in Next Booth: I heard you guys taking about the two cheeseburger value meal. You can still order that. It's one the cash register, just not on the menu.
So, if the Chicken McNuggets Shanghi makes a comeback, you will know why.
