McDonald's goes outside the box with 'Blitz Box'

[Scouzer]

Seems over priced. If you just throw out numbers - $3/burger, $2/med fry and $3 for the nuggets (you can get 20 for $5) you get $13.

They should at least sell this at a deal.

Man, I wish instead of the Big Mac Index to compare cost of living in various countries, that they would instead compare chicken nuggets.

6 nuggets in Canada, no combo is $4.99 + tax.

US Cost: 25 cents a nugget
Canada Cost: 83 cents a nugget

More than 3 times as expensive.

So 10 tacos at Taco Bell is for one person?

 

[HeXen]

i'm willing to guess that almost all of these sold will be to people eating the entire thing.

Yes, one person getting it just for themselves. Guaranteed that will likely be the top consumers for this meal.

Do you guys even raise chickens up there? That's crazy price difference but it's cold up there and you guys like to put "Eh?" at the end of every sentence so I guess it justifies the price.

That is pretty ridiculous. We get the 20 piece for $4.99 all the time.

As for this combo box feeding 1 person, I don't know how people would do it. I mean I consider myself a capable big eater and can really only do 2 Big Macs and medium fries at the most. I also eat a whole pie of Domino's/Digiorno's pizza in 1 sitting.

Maybe the ones in Canada are made using real chicken instead of saw dust and recycled tires.

"Multi-person" meal... They must be having a laugh. They know full well their "heavy abusers" will be having this for one.

to go to the nearest mcdonalds i would have to pass a few restaurants, diners, and bars all of which serve better food for similar amounts of money.

maybe if they delivered.

Nice.

Examples? Could you yelp that? I'd like to check that out.

That'd be awesome to go to a restaurant for only $7.50. (Tip and Tax included.)

For fast food nothing beats 10 tacos from JiTB with a Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger on grilled sourdough. They should make that a combo, it's the absolute best meal after a night of drinking. And as surprising as it sounds, waking up after a 12 pack of Newcastle + eating all of this by yourself has you feeling tremendous.

 

[jpiniero]

More like "Diabetes Box", amirite?

 

[waggy]

So 10 tacos at Taco Bell is for one person?

lol when i was in high school/college 10 taco's was NOT a problem. Now? fuck 2-3 fill me up. sometimes i can down 3 but most times 2 and im full.

 

[Brigandier]

This deal makes no sense, it's like a two person deal, or three if someone hates fries and doesn't mind the other two cooning most their nuggets.

Why not do McDouble, McChicken, McNugget combo that can feed more than three people?

 

[bradley]

Meanwhile you could probably fit all the nutrition in a Blitz Thimble.

I can't stand the sauce on Big macs. when i worked at McDonalds (when i was 17) and they would have buy 1 get one free on big macs i would get them with mayo, mustard and ketchup instead.

[Craig234]

Remember 20 nuggest are only $4.99...

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Doesn't seem like very much food. Obviously it isn't something to consume on a daily basis in its entirety, but it sounds easily doable if hungry and not wanting any to go to waste (except maybe some spare fries).

EDIT: Looks like roughly 1500 calories for the main course, but another 800 for the fries. Any man should be able to eat that in a sitting if he puts the effort in.

 

[tortillasoup]

I'd rather just order 15 items from the dollar menu. This feels like a terrible deal. I think the oddest thing McDonalds has going on is having $1 single patty cheese burgers being sold right next tow $1 double patty cheese burgers... They have the exact same number ingredients besides a second patty yet sold for the same price.

 

[Acanthus]

Not by a long shot. The Taco John's "Six pack and a pound" originally came in a box.

Yeah, even in recent memory this isn't really true.

Taco bell grande meals, Taco bell 12 pack, all kinds of KFC, etc.

This is certainly not a first.

I wasn't sure on the prices's but now that you put it down i think that is close to it.

I kind of chuckled at this because the sauce on Big Macs is essentially Thousand Island dressing, and it's made out of mayo, catsup and pickles. You replaced the sauce with nearly the same ingredients

yeah but they add something to it. have no idea what though and it throws off the taste. While nearly the same it is NOT the same.

10 tacos....or 2 5 layer tacos.

 

[slag]

We'll have more fat people in Kansas City in a few weeks.

Unpossible.

That's as stupid as the guy who said Olive Garden alfredo sauce tastes like Elmer's glue. Sensationalize much?

To be fair, elmer's glue is delicious
