McDonalds New 1955 Burger!

GodMac · 5 Sep 2011 at 14:14

Just been out in the car and heard on the radio that McDonlads are now going to add the calorific count on all their products and then I go and see an advert about the new McD's 1955 burger.

I just wanted to know is the 1955 the calorific count? :eek:

1955 is the year McDonalds was founded. The calory count has always been on the packaging and on the back of the tray liners in store, but not many people paid attention so the calories are now also shown on the menu boards, to help fight obesity apparently.

I should think it is the year

They are hardly going to shout from the rooftops about the calorific content, even if they do put it on their packaging.

Awful awful joke.

Its starting wednesday, at our store, not sure of calorie content yet but I'm pretty sure its not 1955, when the burger was first brought out I'm not sure calories were measured much anyway.

I would eat it if did have 1955 calories.

I think I'll have a meal there now actually. Only across the road. :cool:

Finally a burger that might be worth eating from McDonalds.

GodMac · 5 Sep 2011 at 14:20

Kylew......Thank you! At least one person knows brummy humour when it comes out

So it's finally arrived here after others in the EU got it first:

It has bacon

Gilly · 5 Sep 2011 at 14:28

I'm sorry, but that's never been a joke. That was an honest question.

GodMac · 5 Sep 2011 at 14:29

It looks very similar to Burger Kings recent Summer BBQ burger with the crispy onions and salad. Its making me feel hungry.......got ...to....fight....it....can't....let.....the....urge....win....this time! Resist, Resist, Resist...........oh stuff it I'm going to Maccy D's, anyone won't anything?

No cheese, no sale.

I'll stick to big tasties.

Wouldn't putting a width restriction on the doors be more beneficial?

There's a website called 'Burger Business'...

...wow. xD

I had the 1955 in Spain earlier this year, its nice and substantial compared to a big mac. Tastes like something American from DQ.

The problem, largely speaking, isn't the calorific content. It's the fact that the vast majority of people are lazy and don't do enough exercise to combat the type of calories something like Macdonalds has. Eg very little of calorific value other than fat, salt, sugars, etc.
