I saw a billboard a few days ago advertising the new Southern Style Chicken sandwiches at McDonalds. The ad showed a breakfast one on a biscuit and a lunch/dinner one on a bun (I think). Well, being the advertising lemming that I am, I couldn't wait for a trip to Mickee Dee's to try this puppy out. Here's the sandwich...
Nothing too exciting. Pretty much a biscuit with an over-sized chicken McNugget on it. I'm not saying it wasn't good. The biscuit was moist and buttery, the chicken had a seasoned batter it's fried in, so it tasted alright, although a little on the dry side. It could have used a quick swab of mayo or something else to make it a bit more unhealthy, while multiplying the party for my taste buds. I think I would by something else on a regular basis, but if you're not in the mood for a red meat breakfast sandwich, this is a nice alternative.
I also ordered a large coffee with the sandwich. No surprises. However, I noticed something interesting on the lid of the coffee. It has to do with what is written on top, click the picture to see it larger and see if you notice something odd like I did.
Ok, so you need to know some Spanish to "get" it, so let me expound. The lid says, "Caution I'm Hot:Precaucion Esta Caliente!" Let me translate : Warning I am at a High Temperature : Precaution This is Hot! (If my Spanish is still good enough) So, the English version is written in a way that portrays that the lid is an animate object telling you about it self, and the Spanish version is a blatant stating of the facts. Does McDonalds feel that its English speaking costumers need to be "talked down" to, treating them like kids that believe a cup lid is talking to them. Or, does Ronald think that the English users have a better sense of humor and will think it's cute or funny that a lid is telling one about it self. Or, does Sean just think about weird and insignificant stuff too much. Don't answer, please.
