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.

Cheddar DELUXE was a bit of let down , the burger patty is way bigger than the bun. Didnt even taste the cheddar .
Wispa Gold McFlurry was good tho. |

Maybe because its a BK exclusive so why would they want another rival company doing the same burgers ?
Also throw in the fact that McDonalds is ££ cheaper than BK so i doubt they would want to put people off with £5 a burger. 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 |

Burger King cannot have an exclusive right to Angus

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.
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!

Thought i'd just use this thread. McDonald's have finally created a special which doesn't involve bacon!
This special doesn't look too bad. http://www.marketingweek.co.uk/news/...004409.article http://m.mcdonalds.co.uk/food_single...?item_id=11349 |

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?

I've gone right off McDonalds. The meat tastes funny if you don't eat it hot and I just can't eat chicken at all.
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. |

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.

This spanish one is a rehash of one of the American ones minus the bacon and with some peppers added.

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. |

Yet again, an utterly uninspiring selection of "specials".
