Sweet fries?
“Long ago, I ordered fries. Yeah, plain fries – salted of course.Soon they were in my hand, I took a seat with my friend who was having a cheeseburger. When I started eating, I noticed the fries were little strange. I asked my friend if his cheeseburger is all right and he said yes. One more bite and I realised they were not salted. I stood up to put some salt on it but it seemed like something like salt is laying on the fries. I told that employee that the fries have really strange flavour and he should test it out. One minute later he came back to me saying: “Pardon, it seems like we have accidentally put sugar on your fries, instead of salt.” I was like, what the f#ck, how is this possible?”
When tomatoes are mistaken for chicken:
“When I was a young kid, my family was returning for violin lessons and we were very hungry, so we swung by the local McDonald’s to get some chicken nuggets. We got our order and left the drive-through. But I knew something was wrong when I pulled the nugget container out of the box:
It was ice cold. With great apprehension, I opened the box, and instead of finding delicious, fattening, piping-hot chicken nuggets, I found three slimy tomato slices. It was not a good day.”
The dollar menu gone wrong:
“My friends and I had a lot of lunches at McDonald’s in that era, mostly for the novelty value of being able to buy bags full of cheeseburgers while hardly denting the budget. A lot of other folks had the same idea, which put a lot of pressure on the restaurant crew: instead of making an average of one sandwich per customer, they were now making anywhere between three and six. One day, I unwrapped one of my burgers to find a handful of diced onions sprinkled on top of the bun. Someone on grill duty, trying to go as fast as they could, got the “top bun” and “onion” phases of burger construction out of order. My favorite part, though, is that there was a little smooshed-in part on the side of the burger, where someone had tried to stuff a few onions in without taking the top bun back off.”
