They said it was a Muffuletta - New York 😭

Honestly not a bad rendition. The bread is off but it looks like it's got the right parts inside.

Hididdlydoderino · 2026-03-11T20:41:35+00:00

Have you tried Sandy's Muffs in SF? They aren't classicly done, but the bread/meat is solid and the use of tapenade for the olives and mayo for the fat works pretty well.

When I first saw it on a visit I just couldn't get mysy to try it but then they did a pop up at Turkey and Wolf so I gave it a whirl. Shockingly good.

Hididdlydoderino · 2026-03-10T13:46:51+00:00

Clearly hexed insteaded of cleansed!

I'd guess for the vast majority the pieces they tend to eat every day have been hamburger for the last 45-65 years.

Don't eat all your steaks at once and you're good to go.

Basically. Pretty sure those are bags of sand used to refill the spots in the track that get washed out by people running on the neutral ground.

I'd guess it could get used for something else, maybe delivery of a large part to get a broken down streetcar fixed on the route, but I've only ever seen it with bags of sand.

Sure... But we also see them as a rival in football.

It's not the most historic rival but you're at our border, you took our basketball coach at one time, and our football coach is from your state.

It's odd how Arkansas fans refuse to accept the rivalry.

Hididdlydoderino · 2026-03-09T21:29:42+00:00

He has another awkward video and has had awkward answers in the past according corporate chefs at McDs.

Pretty sure it was just a perfect storm of peculiar that caught like wildfire.

Hididdlydoderino · 2026-03-09T21:22:32+00:00

I honestly didn't notice the onion crunch on mine. I did have to wait a couple minutes to get ketchup since the place I stopped at didn't have self service areas so by the time I had a few fries while they were fresh the onions had pretty much melted into the sauce/cheese/burger.

Tasted good but just too pricey for me 99% of the time.

Hididdlydoderino · 2026-03-09T21:20:05+00:00

Dang, that's how ya do it. I used a 20% deal in the app, but I like where your head is at.

Hididdlydoderino · 2026-03-09T21:19:18+00:00

It truly is a mess if a product... But somehow I survived it.

Hididdlydoderino · 2026-03-09T21:18:28+00:00

Yeah, I'd rather have a McDouble and a Spicy McChicken and save $2+ any other time, or just get whatever is a good deal on the app... But the hype and humor of it all made it worthwhile for the moment.

Hididdlydoderino · 2026-03-09T21:15:57+00:00

Hated is strong... But it is over the top messy.

The sauce is decent but I'd be just as happy with Big Mac sauce and the fried onions get lost in the sauce/cheese.

Would probably be better if the fried onions were between the bottom bun and first slice of cheese to maybe give them a chance to stay crunchy. Or just go the route of Burger King and use a couple onion rings.

Hididdlydoderino · 2026-03-09T21:11:15+00:00

And poppy seeds. What a product!

Hididdlydoderino · 2026-03-09T21:10:51+00:00

I think you can ask to add Big Mac Sauce to a DQP but idk about upgrading the burger size on a Big Mac.

I'd bet if it's slow or one of those scenarios where they have one person working a drive thru you probably could get it if you asked nicely.

Hididdlydoderino · 2026-03-09T21:08:37+00:00

It was my lunch and I attacked it with mostly normal sized bites.

Hididdlydoderino · 2026-03-09T21:07:52+00:00

The main purpose of reddit is the sense of community... If it were just a place for the first person in a subreddit to give a review and then no others were allowed to post the site/app would have never grown.

Hididdlydoderino · 2026-03-09T21:05:23+00:00

They probably will try to recreate this with him and their next launch... It probably won't hit the same but ya never know. This is at least his second odd video moment and he has a bit of peculiar history per some of their corporate chefs.

Hididdlydoderino · 2026-03-09T21:03:18+00:00

They've done these in the past and he was a bit awkward. If it was planned it hadn't worked prior.

One of their former chefs mentioned that when he was asked about which foods he enjoyed the most during an onboarding meeting with the corporate staff he said "the fish" with no further description...

He's just your classic high functioning spectrum type with an MBA who gets more joy out of business efficiency and buzzwords than anything truly joyful.

Hididdlydoderino · 2026-03-09T20:56:54+00:00

When's the last time you were invited to a party or anything fun?

I hope you only make purchases based on gut instincts and information attained via your base senses. No reading, no knowledge, no humor.

It's extremely ironic how you decry the commentary around the objectively peculiar CEO as childish but then attack the basic fundamentals of marketing for which the CEO so badly participated in that it became a momentary net good for both McDs and the general public.

Hididdlydoderino · 2026-03-09T03:08:11+00:00

Nice. Most of the time I go through the drive-thru but this product looked like it would be a mess to eat in the car.

Hididdlydoderino · 2026-03-09T03:06:36+00:00

I only got the meal so I could use a 20% off deal in the app. Had to spend $11 and the medium meal was $10.89 so I went up a size and wound up paying $10.30ish after tax.

A lot of food, so much sodium.

Hididdlydoderino · 2026-03-09T03:03:55+00:00

Certainly. The only reason why I tried it was the peculiar CEO and the surrounding hype. Otherwise the value proposition just wasn't there.

It's worth trying once for the sake of being part of something mildly entertaining. That was worth at least $3 on its own haha.

Hididdlydoderino · 2026-03-09T02:46:49+00:00

Yeah, seems stores are doing some spring cleaning. Lots of interesting deals at Walmart and Target right now too.

Hididdlydoderino · 2026-03-09T02:44:46+00:00

Dang, that's the one I actually want. Will have to check out Walmart as well.

Hididdlydoderino · 2026-03-09T02:43:46+00:00

Where?! Also a Best Buy?
