Guys Decides To Build An $890 McDonald's Burger (With A Large Diet Coke)
FB - One of McDonald’s latest innovations has been the “Create Your Taste” stations. The kiosks allow customers to build their own customizable burgers using “fresher” ingredients. While still new to the fast food chain, the new feature has yielded for some interesting stories. Tech entrepreneur Moshe Tamssot, decided to have some fun with McDonald’s “Create Your Taste” option. Instead of building a relatively basic burger, the ambitious guy decides to max everything he could out. This includes 10 pieces of bacon, 30 slices of cheese, 10 guacamole servings, two patties, tomatoes, lettuce and all kinds of sauces. What resulted was a beast weighing 3.8 pounds he appropriately christened the “Big Max.” The burger was so massive, it was served on two separate trays. The total came out to a staggering $890.80. Although, thanks to a bug in the pricing system, resulted in Tamssot only paying $24.89.
First things first. Complete and utter bullshit that there was a “bug in the pricing system” that knocked the price down to $24.89. We all saw it ring up for $890. We all saw it. If you’re going to be “that guy” who does this type of thing to get those pageviews, you either pay full price or you say yea, they hooked me up because I’m a big silly. Don’t there’s a bug in the system on me and tell me it’s raining. I know piss when I taste it.
Second, shouts to him for getting fries. I was about to kill myself if he didn’t get fries. But he is a pro’s pro. Good on him. And that sweet McDonald’s ketchup which I swear is better than all other ketchups.
Third and final point here is I’m not sure where I stand on this make your own burger thing. 8-10 minutes to get fast food? In your bra. Drive thru baby. If you can’t get your McDonalds between the ordering screen and the 2nd window, then you’re not getting fast food at all. If I wanted a real burger I’d go to 5 guys or Z Burger or something of the sort. If I want a bullshit burger in 45 seconds, I go to McDonalds. Plus, you won’t catch me doing ANY work. If I have to tap buttons to get my order placed, they better start paying me minimum wage too.
