Bacon again! I wonder how many people bother to put bacon on the burgers they have at home? McD's seem to think bacon is a necessity for every "special". Probably down to cost. The specials are quite expensive, yet the cost of extra ingrediants - ie bacon and a fancier bun - are fairly minimal.
If you'd care to read back through the posts we'd had the discussion already and already came to the conclusion the poster was talking nonsense.
I guess that's partially my fault for bumping an old thread rather than starting a new one each time. The ridiculous Angus convo was actually ages ago, but was only one page back due to the gaps between posts about the GTOA and the Striker and Deluxe promos since.
That said, I have just read back through the last couple of pages again and have been in fits of laughter - it's quite amusing seeing the argument all in one go, rather than just seeing it unfold slowly at the time.
Know what McDonalds need to make a permanent fixture on their menu.... mozzarella dippers. Although in saying that, if they did, I would have an even bigger belly than I already do!
I really feel they need to spruce up their main menu rather then repeated specials. How about Angus Third Pounders and Premium Chicken Sandwiches like they have in the US?
Thought i'd just use this thread. McDonald's have finally created a special which doesn't involve bacon!
Don't worry they make up for that next week with the Aussie one which does include bacon!!! Apart from that one nice to see them doing something different for a change with the Spanish, Mexiacan and Indian ones just made me chuckle that they had to get the Bacon in there somewhere. Wish they would do some of the American menu items mind.

They brought a variant of these out a couple of years back.
I remember because I bought one. Don't think there was the style of bun but chorizo was definitely in existence. Well, it should have been.
On leaving the drive thru - I took a bite expecting to taste chorizo. I didn't. Upon inspection, the reason became clear. There was no chorizo - there was however, yes, you guessed it - bacon.
Highly disappointing. So I complained on their website and a couple of weeks later a voucher came through the post.

I almost always do.
Bacon makes everything better!!!:D
Wispa Gold McFlurry was good tho.
They are nice. Iceland do them, not sure about other supermarkets.
Burger King cannot have an exclusive right to Angus
Aberdeen Angus is a breed of cattle.
Unless Burger King buy up all the beef from Aberdeen Angus, there is nothing to stop Mcdonalds doing a burger using breed.
Burger King may a trademark on certain burger names, but thats it.
The notion of Burger King having an exclusive deal is nonsense

This special doesn't look too bad.

Not bad, I could be tempted by that.

I used to like the selects occasionally.
If I had to pick something now it would be an ordinary hamburger.
Their specials are way over priced.
Oh dear, other promotions look lame as usual. Next week's Aussie one cannot be counted as a "special"!
Think i will give this Spanish one a go, the paprika topped bun sounds nice and their onion rings are good, better than BK as you get more real onion.
10 for £1 in Tesco

I know. The person in charge of the menu needs sacking.
So what would you propose?
