I actually had to consult wiki for this:

Daily Double – Similar to the double cheeseburger, however the toppings were different. The Daily Double was made with lettuce, tomato, slivered onions, and mayonnaise. It also had only one slice of cheese, rather than the two slices that are on the double cheeseburger.It is now being test marketed in Chicago for a limited time.

It works for Subway. 1/2 ounce of "meat" and all the veggies you want.

Seems reasonable to me, and fuck... less than $2 to eat? That's retarded cheap anyway, so who cares?

I guess this is the benefit of not having to eat $1 or $2 fast food burgers as a consistent meal choice. Sure, I'll eat fast food once or twice a month, but I'm not really worrying about price as compared to a real meal.

The McGangBang: a McChicken Sandwich Inside a Double Cheeseburger
mcgangbang.jpg

The McGangBang ranks up there in the holy pantheon of WTF. It's a sandwich made from a double cheeseburger and a McChicken sandwich — where you put an entire McChicken sandwich inside a double cheeseburger. It's a creative manipulation of existing menu items, and an exercise in frugality: taking two items off of the Dollar Menu and creating an entirely new sandwich for a total of $2.16. Truly, it's a sandwich that's more than the sum of its parts.

The naming, of course, is somewhat obscene — "gangbang" is defined as "sexual intercourse with multiple partners in turn or at the same time." It's illicit in more ways than one — chicken and beef most definitely make for an unnatural pairing.

What I love is when they play games with the names and pricing. IIRC a "Small" fry is more expensive than a "Value" fry, yet they are the same amount of fries and same packaging (I might be confusing them with BK though). If you don't specify dollar or value menu you get charged regular price.

And a 6 piece is more expensive per nugget than a value nugget (or it used to be I think they jacked up the prices of the 4 piece).

Yeah if you don't ask for a "value" coffee you end up getting overcharged for a small coffee and you won't get the right amount of change back!
