I'm Lovin' It

Another completely subjective and naive recount of life events by yours truly.

So, it has recently been brought to my attention that the multimillion dollar international fast-food chain McDonalds will be celebrating its 40th year anniversary for making Aussies fat. And man, those Maccas corporate giants know how to chuck a party!

$1 cheeseburgers. Can you actually believe that? Cheeseburgers! For ONE DOLLAR! How brilliant! There's just one tiny catch though: The one dollar cheeseburgers are only available during 12pm - 1pm. How gay.

Anyway, so me and my fellow team-mates/co-workers/siblings/cult-members/whatever-you-wanna-call-thems were driving back from the airport yesterday, when we saw the sign from heaven. $1 Cheeseburgers are available at Maccas, along with the legendary 'McFeast' burgers and shaker fries. Now, to a normal person, this sign would probably have no meaning whatsoever. But to us poor teamies, this was definitely a sign from God. That meant lunch for 4 for no more than about 10 bucks!

Anyway, so we decided to drop by a Maccas on the way home. However, instead of spending the planned maximum of $10 between the four of us, we made a few impulse purchases too. No surprise there.
So, a good $40 later, we had chowed down three McFeasts, four large fries, one small fries, three large cokes, one large sprite, one McFlurry, and about five or six cheeseburgers.
Ahh, impulse purchases at Maccas. If anyone knows the secret on how to resist the McTemptations, please inbox me, 'cause I'd love to know.

Even though half of my weekly allowance went on maccas this week, you cant help but be amazed - wait no, inspired by the value for money meals they provide the hungry. Sure, the food might be like total shit for your body, but that doesn't mean it dosen't taste good. I'm the first to admit that I quite enjoy my Big Macs. I even remember when I was in Year 8, I told my at the time girlfriend that for our first date, I would take her to the Golden Arches Resteraunt in Darling Harbour, and that she could order anything she wanted and I would pay for her meal. She was so impressed at the time. Now, some people may already see where the rest of the story is going, while others may be thinking 'how on EARTH did you afford that?'. Well, I made a promise to my baby, and I wasn't gonna bail on my promise. I took her to the Maccas just off George Street in Sydney, and spent $20 between the two of us. What an awesome way to save cash on a romantic date! And I'd have to say, that that date was easily the most fun date I've ever been on (not that I have hundreds to compare to). We had a great night, my gal found the joke hilarious, even more so because she was Korean and she understood what it meant to be cheap =].

Anyway, I'm off for now, duty calls.
PEACE OUT MA AMEGOS.
Catcha on the 'flip' side!
