Boston's Weekly Dig Reviews McDonald's

[CalMeacham]

In last week’s April Fool/Corporate Sellout issue, the Weekly Dig (the free upstart kid weekly that clearly wants to be the new Phoenix) printed several can’t-take-it-seriously reviews. But my favorite is the one they did on McDonald’s.

It’s history, now, so I can’t link to it, but I must submit some of the coicer lines.

they art by giving McDonald’s five out of five stars (if the April 1 date didn’t tip their hand, that should have). Then they pile it on with the subheading The American Classic Still Can’t be Beat.

…
I have to admit: This isn’t my first trip to a McDonald’s. On a past visit, I was tipped off by one of the sous chefs that there’s an option that doesn’t appear on the menu, but has quickly become one of my favorites…The burgers are heavenly, seared perfectly to medium doneness, presented on a toasted bun along with the timeless accompaniments of ketchup, mustard, onions, and a pickle slice. The companion french fries are a solid addition, although I would have preferred a bit more salt with my order.I opt for the Diet Coke from the beverage fountauin, and it delivers a subtle aspartame taste along with plenty of carbonation to cleanse the palate between bites.
My date selects a somewhat overlooked item from the menu, which has recently been the subject of a hilariously effective marketing campaign, the incomparable Filet-o-Fish ($4.99/meal).
…
To complete our meal, we split a hot fudge sundae ($1.59) with nuts. The slight polymer flavor of the soft serve ice cream is heightened by the small drizzling of hot fudge atop this dessert.

Sounds funny. I’d like to read the whole thing.

I find the Weekly Dig kinda hit or miss. Sometimes they are genuinely funny but more often they are just a bunch of snarky hipsters taking cheap shots.

Ooops, looks like the link doesn’t work but if you go to the main page and search for McDonald’s it comes up.
