Mcdonalds (not so) Happy Meal

[SOD'EM]

This is what a six year old kid found in his Happy Meal.

OMG Sod'em that is gross!!!!!!!

[loopinlouie]

Urgh, I knew I avoided that place for some reason, food issue years ago, but thats deffo keeping me away for life xx

Oh pur-lease, that's so obviously photoshopped!!!

[locutus]

That butcher doesn't know his nuggets from his elbow

 

I'm sure they advertise that it's 100% breast meat. I bet the person that got that didn't even get a refund

[kiptower]

not my work I would have made sure the hand was also in focus , thats an abuse of photoshop

[locutus]

dunno... from the dithering on the hand I'd say cheap camera. People who use photoshop generally have *some* concept of taking a good photo . It would probably be easier and more financially rewarding to get a chicken's head, batter it and deep fat fry it yourself, then put it in a happy meal box and complain to the manager

You may be a Photoshop wizz, Loki, but how much cooking do you do?

 

You see, when you batter something , it creates one big mess of gloop with barely recognisable whatever is under it. There is no way you could get the crest sticking out so sharply, the beak so well defined etc... I mean, it's supposed t be McD, where even "normal" food is barely recognisable, never mind a chicken head.

 

Thirdly, look at the size of it! Even if the head could have been lovingly crafted out of batter by one of their automated machines. Even if it had somehow escaped all scrutiny and ended in one of their stores. Even then, ... the size of it, it would NEVER fit into a happy meal.

 

I rest my case for the defence, m'lurd.

Use a very thin batter (or egg and milk wash) then dust with cornflour, rather than the stuff you find around a Mars bar in Scotland

I think you are seriously overestimating McDonald's staff

And... GUILTY

 

 

 

On a side note, I used to work for a well known crisp factory, one day I was packing crisps (48 packets per box). Pick it up with strongest hand, give the packet a little squeeze to check that it's airtight, pass to the other hand and place in box, really fast work. Anyway, this one day I picked up a packet with left hand, little squeeze and something felt odd. I opened the packet and inside (you'll love this bookie ) deep fat fried frog (cheese and onion flavored)! It had jumped in the deep fat frier, gone past 1 pair of eyes checking for bad crisps, gone under the bit where the flavor is sprinkled over it, passed another pair of eyes that checks for clumps of flavoring, into the bagger and I found it! So, showed it to the line leader who promptly put it in the bin and ordered me back to work (no cleandown... she didn't even blink at it!)

 

So it really wouldn't surprise me.

Gross, but I'm pretty sure I've seen that only apparently from KFC....

Which would actually make a lot more sense. Perhaps I have my outlets wrong.
