McBullshit

McDonald's lately has been tying in "special" meals with celebrities; never-minding that I am now at the age at which I do not recognize these celebrity names, I take great umbrage at these "unique" meals:

The Travis Scott Meal:

• A Quarter Pounder with lettuce, pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard, cheese, and bacon
• Medium fries with a side of BBQ dipping sauce
• A medium Sprite

The J Balvin Meal:

• A Big Mac, “no pickles, please”
• Medium fries, “con ketchup
• Oreo McFlurry, “of course”

That's it? A side of BBQ sauce for the fries? OH WAIT ohmygod - KETCHUP with the fries?!?!? Wow! Wherever do these ideas come from????

That's it? When presented with the full tapestry of Mickey D's colors to dazzle their empty canvas with, this is the best these guys can come up with? No fries crushed up into Chicken McNugget skins, no "one if by land, two if by sea!" surf & turf (god forbid) combo? The best they can do is...ketchup? For the fries? I wasn't interested in checking out whatever creative work these guys have done before reading about their "unique!" meals, and now I am, if its even possible, less interested.

I'm usually a big believer in the upcoming generations, but this...well, this gives me pause.
