McDonald's Loves You Just The Way You Are - If You're A Sandwich

16607 views

I'm all for natural beauty and simplicity in my food, but this message on the McDonald's Southern Style Chicken Sandwich box just creeps me out. Thanks to Diana for sending it in. I think.

(In case you were wondering, the Southern Style sandwich is a breaded chicken breast with butter and pickles served on a bun.)

0 white meat? What does that mean? Nevermind I don't want to know.

No worse than Starbucks' inspirational messages or Burger King's "You're a real winner in life!" messages.

If you are seeking honesty and sincerity from fast food containers, not much I can say beyond hmmmm..

In and Out Burger has silly bible references on many of their packages, but I know it's just a money-changing temple of grease and not the Holy Land.

Very poetic, and fitting for an awesomely tasty sandwich!

user-pic

That sounds "groce" as they say on livejournal. (Yes, they do.)

But who cares. What I really want to know is: Has Eyebrows McGee had her baby yet???? C'mon, this is a COMMUNITY!

user-pic

This looks like McDonald's is just trying to get "hip" and "with it" like burger king, dominos, and a whole bunch of other fast food places are. Quirky is the new normal.

@ElizabethD:

Never mind; she did. :-)

user-pic

Shouldn't this be a love message to Chick-Fil-A since this sandwich is a total rip off of Chick-Fil-A's signature sandwich?

user-pic

1: 0 white meat?? I'm not ok with that opening line.
2: "Caution: HOT!" - Liars.

user-pic

@gStein: I did too, until I realized that the capitalized O is the same design as the not capitalized O in the word "so".

user-pic

@Kevin Weber: Yes. Yum. I want some chick-fil-a now.

Have you ever had chik-fil-a breakfast? It is so good. It sounds weird but just trust me, it's delicious.

user-pic

@pockygt:

Yeah, except all the places you mentioned stole the "hip" and "with it" idea from Jack-in-the-Box.

user-pic

I suspect this was cooked up by the same dude who came up with the "I'd hit it" billboard sandwich ads from a few years ago. Sicko.

user-pic

@From the cubicle of PGibbons:Blasphemy! Anyone who's eaten at In'N'Out Burger knows those burgers are the Holy Grail of burgerdom.

Well, maybe second to Tommy's, anyway...

:-)

user-pic

@SJActress: oh i never meant to imply that they were original. There's also no jack in the boxes in my region, so I have no idea that it may have originated with them

user-pic

@WiglyWorm: I can totally back that statement up. Their breakfast is freakin awesome. Puts McDonald's to shame - and I'm a McMuffin loyalist.

user-pic

@WiglyWorm: Does it involve biscuits? Suddenly, I'm hungry for biscuits.

user-pic

Same people who designed Quiznos ads?

user-pic

There is something disingenuous about promoting the "naturalness" of a processed slab of breaded meat. The fact that it doesn't have condiments doesn't make it special.

user-pic

The sandwich was also stolen from Chik-fil-A

user-pic

I honestly don't see the problem with that. Must we have an issue with everything?

user-pic

@Miss Scarlett is made of sugar and spice and everything nice: I read it the same way and assumed it was some mega-processed food-speak. Zero white meat chicken - yum! Or not.

user-pic

@jeffbone: Animal style double double FTW! Such a simple menu, but seriously the best burger and fries anywhere!

user-pic

@Vanilla5: Are you kidding? McDonald's chicken is usually scalding hot. Last time I had one of these sandwiches I burnt my tongue.

user-pic

@bohemian: It is supposed to be poetic, as in "O, Juliet..." so something to that affect.

user-pic

You know, honestly?

All I give a fuck about is the fact that McDonald's has my ass covered at the end of the month when I am broke and hungry and fishing for change under my couch.

Laugh at me and you're a goddamn liar.

user-pic

@bbvk05: Very very true. It is just a knock off of Chik-fil-a's sandwich.


I would have never noticed the box. Beyond nutritional stuff, I don't read them.

user-pic

(In case you were wondering, the Southern Style sandwich is a breaded chicken breast with butter and pickles served on a bun. totally stolen from Chik-fil-a)

There... fixed.

user-pic

@LanLOLa: I don't eat McD's often, but every time I eat it it's rarely hot.

user-pic

@Vanilla5: Somebody at the front end screwed up then. I had the dubious honor of working at McDonald's and the meat goes in the box hot enough to burn skin.

user-pic

@ElizabethD: That spelling tastes gross in my brain.

user-pic

I go to McDonald's often (yay poor college student) and I just see this as interesting marketing. I don't see what's wrong with it.

user-pic

@Laura Northrup: Yes. Chicken on a biscuit. It's seriously the awesomest breakfast ever. I used to get it and put a little Polynesian sauce on top and yum yum yum. It's one of the few things I miss about living in the South.

user-pic

@Laura Northrup: It does, in fact, involve biscuits. Delicious, buttery, flaky biscuits. And (as you may have guessed) chicken. It is heaven.

user-pic

@Henry Obialisi: I don't get it either. I guess some people are reading something else into it.

user-pic

@supercereal: Five Guys beats In N Out by miles and miles. And miles.

user-pic

@Laura Northrup: also, not only does it involve biscuits, the mini snack ones are perfect size to stow one away for the next day.

user-pic

@Chris Stone: I don't think one's dining experience should be uncomfortable or possibly involve a love poem written by a 9th grade English student.

user-pic

Butter? I thought it was mayonnaise.

user-pic

@savdavid: There's nothing sexual about this poem.

user-pic

I love McD's Southern Style Chicken sandwich. Yes, it's a total copy of Chick-Fil-A's, but I can get it on a Sunday.

user-pic

@WiglyWorm: it's good, but i like living near a bojangles where i can get a fried chicken biscuit all day long. that way i can sleep in AND have flaky buttery goodness

user-pic

@ElizabethD: 'That sounds "groce" as they say on livejournal. (Yes, they do.)'

Only some of them. The rest wish there was a way to punch those people over the internet.

user-pic

@Coles_Law: I find myself trying to figure out if I should be happy or concerned about that. I'm thinking happy - but let me mull it over for a second.

user-pic

@ElizabethD: You missed the Twitter update of the century [twitter.com]

user-pic

@Henry Obialisi: This is the internet, so...yes?
