God knows I’ve been to enough McDonald’s in a lot of different places. Besides the core menu items being pretty much the same everywhere, the other constant at McDonald’s is that the Number 1 meal is the one with the Big Mac. I honestly can’t remember it being any other way. So color me surprised when I amble on over to the local McD’s today and notice that they’ve renumbered the menu here. They’ve done it in ascending price order, which means that the Big Mac meal now rings in at Number 4. The Number 1 place is now occupied by the McChicken. While this may seem like a little thing, I wonder how much sales of Big Macs will decline with this change?
Besides that they’ve also gone and copied Mos Burger and added two rice burgers to the menu. A rice burger uses patties of rice instead of a bun. The new ones are fried chicken breast and spicy chicken breast rice burgers. Given the complete and utter failure of their curry rice dishes last year (mainly because they tasted awful), I’m gonna stick with Mos Burger when I want a rice burger.
