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

[SheHateMe]

Damn, if only these were Whoppers...

As if America isn't fat enough. You know some fattie is going to pick this up for themselves.

Guilty

Nah, I'll let the kids have the nuggets and fries.

So 10 tacos at Taco Bell is for one person?

my thoughts exactly; hasn't taco bell always had combos like this?

 

[Fritzo]

To be fair, elmer's glue is delicious

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.

Cause they know idiots will still buy them since not everyone likes doubles.

screw healthy eating, i'll take five.

Of course they expect single customers to eat the whole thing. Why do you think it doesn't include two drinks?!

Because the drink that comes with it is big enough for two people?

Actually it doesn't come with any drink if I remember correctly. So it's real easy to buy a single super sized coke. Excuse me Diet Coke.

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

If you use the proper reading skills, pay attention to the grammar and don't eat McDonalds, you will see that they are talking about that chain in particular when they make that statement. It is implied in the clause "it" in which they are talking about the McDonalds Corp. as a whole. They are probably trying to rise above such things as the taco pack and crave case, if only ironically trying to capture that market. I can't imagine the throwdown between the two, but it is probably kind of sad

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.

i ate 6 tacos in 1 sitting in HS and felt like shit. didn't eat TB for over a year.

 

[ElFenix]

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

they're both mostly flour and water

 

[HeXen]

I also can vouch for the Elmer's glue similarity, I noticed it too and tried other meals but I just can't stand their sauces. I can make do with their salads but much prefer ranch over their own.

 

[Double Trouble]

I don't get why anyone would buy it at that price. If they offered it at a lower price, it would actually be a pretty good deal for a junk meal for me and my two boys. Paying $15 for that seems stupid when you can just buy the individual parts for less, or even combo meals (including drinks) for less.

Good idea, bad price.

Remember 20 nuggest are only $4.99...

Yeah, the last time I had a 20 piece, it was only $4.99. And any size drink was $.99. It seems cheaper to buy a la carte, and you can get more food with drinks.

No Filet of Fish? The McDonalds near work used to have 2 Filet of Fishes for $3.

For me:

1.) Filet of fish
2.) Double Quarter pounder w/cheese
3.) Sausage McMuffin w/egg
4.) McChicken w/extra Mayo
5.) McNuggets

*looks at plain salad I'm having for dinner* *sigh*
