Listen Up Fatties; it's about to get serious


Okay, chill. My title has nothing to do with making fun of people that are overweight. When I say fatties, I mean my fellow McDonalds indulgers.
I love the stuff. At times, I have been addicted to the stuff. At times, I've had to face personal demons to stop eating the stuff. So, stop freaking out and start paying attention to me blog.....fatties.
In case you haven't noticed, sneaky Mc-E-dees has pulled a fast one on the dollar menu. The blessed dollar menu that used to boast the double cheeseburger has now slimmed down to what McDonalds calls the McDouble.
What's the difference?
As far as I can tell; one slice of cheese and maybe the size of the bun, and I think it's not as heavy anymore. Keep in mind these tests have not been examined in a Mclabratory. So, my research is inconclusive. This information might be available on the website, but who the hell is going to do that?
What does this mean?
For one: less cheese equals less fat grams. Maybe a smaller bun and patty, again, less fat grams and carbs. Altogether, the McDouble is not half bad. We all need a lower caloric intake. I might even be able to tell you exactly how much of a difference it all is from the website, but I will leave it to you to do on your own. Besides, reading and writing my blog is way more important.
Impact.
This is it, people. This tiny detail. The devil is in the details. The details that we just so happen to look over everyday. What else have you not noticed lately? The price of gas going sky high and then dropping to a 6 year low...of course we catch that. But the Mcdouble?
No way.
Or maybe you catch yourself mumbling, "Mcdouble, McDouble," as you drive off wondering why saying it sounds so weird.
Those details, the ones that change the world or change nothing are there, you just have to notice them. What have you overlooked lately?
