Coming this Friday: BEEF HEAVEN

January 9th, 2007 by James

Coming January 12th to a McDonald’s near you:

McDonald’s has finally responded to the fattening of the Japanese people by offering the Mega Mac, a double version of the Big Mac. It looks like the burger will sell for 350 yen by itself, with the set options listed above. Will Japanese customers line up to repeatedly experience the advertised “Beef Heaven,” or will the Mega Mac be a brief fad?

I remember they did something like that in the US about 10 years ago. Was it the Arch Deluxe? No wait, that was something with horrible sauce. I can’t remember. In any case, I am so there. Having lived in Japan for so long, you really need a McDonald’s binge every now and again to remind yourself that you are American.
