10011: The McD.L.T.
By: CraqhoreAN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME
Does anyone remember the McD.L.T.? For those of you unfamiliar with the Great and Almighty Eighties, the McD.L.T. was a medium-sized burger in an enormous double-wide styrofoam package. One side, the "hot side," contained the beef, balanced on the big bottom bun*, while the "cold" side contained the top bun, lettuce, tomato, et al. The goal of this burger was to allow people to feel that they could have a choice in the face of oppressive corporate homogeneity. One could remove any offending toppings BEFORE the burger was assembled.
In retrospect, this is an incredibly stupid idea,** for it used too much packaging and nobody cared. Even the slogan was stupid: "hot side hot, cold side cold." Of COURSE it would be hot and cold! If the cold side was hot it wouldn't be the cold side then, would it??? If the hot side were cold, that would defeat the purpose!!! MORONS!!! Yet there was an appeal to the McD.L.T. The appeal of the McD.L.T. lay in its size. It was the perfect size; larger than one of those shriveled hamburgers, smaller than the grease-loaded Quarter Pounder with cheese. And it had less bread than the Big Mac. Yet the McD.L.T. has gone the way of the dodo; or perhaps way of the McLean Deluxe, the Mcdonald's Fajita, the "small" drink.
I feel that this is an outrage, and furthermore, that it be stopped. To this end I propose that we start a campaign to SAVE THE McD.L.T.!!! Yes, by mailing in we can start a petition to save our beloved burger! Send in more than just your name, email address, and $25!!! Send Top Ten lists as well!
Here is an example: Why we should save the McD.L.T.:
10. Because it tastes great
9. Because it has less filling
8. Because I say so
7. Because we can
6. Because it's there
5. Because styrofoam is our friend
4. Because, for you, there is nothing better to do on a Saturday Night
3. Because it's the McD.L.T., DAMMIT!!!
2. Because as long as you live in my house, you live by my rules; and
1. Because God told us to!!!
Awaiting those letters and suggestions!
* This is an example of alliteration.
** Everything on this domain is a stupid idea.
