Understood. In that case, I sympathize with your dilemma.
If it’s any consolation, ramen noodles are still 7 for a buck in most places.
Oh, and heres a link to the BPFAA

Did you ever read the fine print on the advertising for the McLobster?
I sweat to god, it’s true.
Omg! I have that workout tape!
I’m laughing so hard I could puke.
Fluiddruid: Thanks for fixing my code 
OK, this thread has officially moved into MPSIMS territory, and thus shall be officially moved into MPSIMS territory. You know, by me.
The burgers are 100% beef. NO carageenan. At least that is what the boxes they come to the store in say. (I know someone who current works at Mickey Dees.) If they are lying, the Feds are gonna come down on them hard. I’ve worked at restaurants before. Even if the customers don’t see these boxes, I’ve actually had customers ask such stuff and read off what was on the labelling on the theory the nutrition information brochures we had might be out of date. If the customer was asking because of a food allergy, I wouldn’t take the legal risk of not checking the actual packaging.
In my neck of the woods in MI, Mickey Dees haven’t sold McRib sandwhiches in a coon’s age.
I ain’t never heard of no McLobster in MI.
McDonald’s is not going to retire the McRib. McDonald’s is not going to make it a permanent menu item. AFAICT, the reason that they introduce it for a short time periodically is that you’d get tired of it after so long, and it would lose the McRib magic. (That, and McRibs really suck from the other side of the counter.)
Could just be a New England (or maybe just coastal) specific thing, usually in the summer, New England Mickey-D’s sell small, overpriced, understuffed lobster rolls, they look reasonably authentic, if it’s 10% lobster meat**, the molds they use to form the McLobster compound are pretty darn realistic
**i’m sure you’re joking about the 10% thing, the Mickey’s around here proudly trumpet the fact they’re 100% lobster, rubbery, overcooked lobster, but lobster nonetheless…
and for $4.00 for a roll 3/4 the size of a hot dog roll, they’re also rather overpriced
still, it’s strange to see lobster rolls promoted at mickey-d’s of all places, especially considering i can find real lobster rolls without even trying hard
No joke, my whole family saw the sign.
The McLeans DID have carageenan in them, as filler for the fatty beef.
Speaking as someone who’s eaten Troy’s cooking twice, I’d say he’s a darned good cook. And sexy as all get-out, too.
I’m sure the Burger King will be lurking ready to help, were any of you planing to assult Ronald.
Wendy has her tire iron at hand, too.
No shit - if I get a l obster jones, and am broke, I get a lobster roll at Abbots by the Sea [not sure if it is still named that or not, we always call it abbots because that was the name it had when we first went there] and if we are flush and it is in season, we go to Nordic Lodge - an all you can snarfle lobster joint. Is like 70$US per person , but you get to pack lobster in for 3 hours or something like that. I think our roomie Phlip and I tore through 9 lobsters each one memorable day about 3 years ago =) <burp>
::sigh::
Abbots. Where the lobster rolls are just lobster meat and melted butter on a roll. I love that place.
Hell, with a little effort 10 for a dollar isn’t too uncommom…
And they’re best made by pan frying the noodles and adding the packet right before serving.
I actually debated putting it there in the first place. Cool by me.
