Burger King Has Invented A ‘Hands-Free Burger Holder’, Signalling The End Of Humanity’s Achievements

We had a pretty good run, folks. Humanity invented some pretty awesome stuff. We figured out how to harness electricity, we split the atom and we’re even closer than ever to understanding the origins of the universe. All of that is for nought now, though: Burger King has just called a halt on all scientific achievements from here on out with the invention of the hands-free Whopper holder. Stop the planet. I want to get off.

The Wonderful World Of Exotic McDonald’s Food

The golden arches hold a special place in our hearts (or waistlines). The Big Mac, the chicken nuggets, the french fries — they’re all in your face delicious and define McDonald’s better than Ronald ever could. But McDonald’s in other countries get to enjoy more than just the ordinary greatness; they have wonderful menu items, like poutine, green tea McFlurrys, Spam and spaghetti.

Mountain Dew KickStart: You’re Supposed To Drink This For Breakfast

Forget coffee. Forget juice. Forget milk, damnit. Over in the US, Mountain Dew wants you wash down your cereal with an energy drink. Nope. Nope. Nope. We’re not going to do that.

The Aussie Deli Sandwich From McDonald’s Japan

For the burger joint’s latest campaign in Japan, it’s going for flavours from France, India, and… Australia. But while Aussies stuff down the McOz and Serious Lamb Burgers, in Japan, the Aussie Deli sandwich looks like this. Unwrapping the sandwich reveals a bun, lettuce, bright orange cheese, and pastrami. There’s some sort of vegetable relish and mustard. And seriously, what is going on with this TV commercial?

In Japan, You Can Order McDonald’s Using Your Car Navigation System

Apparently fast food still isn’t fast enough for the residents of Japan. Starting in March, McDonald’s will be testing out a new system allowing drivers to order and pay for a happy meal right from their car’s navigation unit.

McDonald’s Outside Of America Looks Way More Awesome

I’m jealous of the French two days in a row. McDonald’s has commissioned designer Patric Norguet to redesign its ‘restaurants’ in France and he’s come up with a stunning redefinition of the most popular fast food chain in the world. It’s fit more for Michelin star restaurants than McDonald’s.

Sauce-Injected Nuggets Mark Mankind’s Most Brilliant Hour

It’s a little sad that the shuttle program is coming to an end, but, on the bright side, we have no reason to fear human ingenuity is ending. Why? Just look at these syringe-pumped McNuggets. Our future is bright, humans.

America, This Is Just Too Much

Can’t…stop *wheeze* laughing…at…the…cruel *big breath* irony of it all. This is no Photoshop japery like that “Seriously McDonalds” viral; this is the real deal, spotted at an American KFC. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Flickr seals it. [SelfishGiving via Grist]

‘Seriously McDonalds’ Hoax Pic Angers Internet, McDonald’s

Over the weekend, many people became acquainted with this photo for the first time. It’s a hoax: McDonald’s isn’t charging African-American McDonald’s customers an extra $US1.50 “as an insurance measure due in part to a recent string of robberies”. Nevertheless, the pic seems to have caused yet another PR problem for the dream McJob-generating giant of fast foods.
