McMussell Triathlon

I ALMOST fell for it. I read the whole thing, when “unbelievable” I can’t believe the luck of Jeff with Burnett.

I copied the URL, pasted it in a new window, and thought “hold on, written on April first, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight” Ha Ha. But a good one nonetheless. I particularily like the “Hamburger, fries, and a drink, hey we have always been into tri’s”

However, all jokes aside, not a bad marketing pitch to McDonald’s. So here is my nothing but MickieDee’s menu:

Breakfast #1: Sausage McMuffin, two hashbrowns, OJ

Breakfast #2: PANCAKES (mmmmmmmm) more OJ

Breakfast #3: Scrambled eggs, more sausages, hash browns, and of course, OJ

Lunch #1: Chicken Salad, Diet Coke, odd time Fries

Lunch #2: Grilled chicken sandwich, diet coke, odd time Fries

Dinner #1: see lunch #1 or 2

Dinner #2 Occasionally either a Big Mac or Quarter Pounder with Cheese, odd time Fries

Dessert: McDonald Cookies, Original first, and then Chocolate Chip (loooooove McDonald’s cookies)

Anyone else in for this?? Now that being all said, I haven’t had a McDonald’s burger in at least a year (can’t say the same for McDonald’s breakfast, looooove those pancakes and sausage McMuffin)

Has anyone tried a McGriddle? I hear that they are actually not bad, but I am afraid of keeling over from a heart attack.

Put me down for the McDonald’s tri team. About once a month my fries craving gets loud enough that a supersized #2 value meal is enjoyed.

Do these shorts make my butt look big?

That is pretty damned funny. It would make for an interesting study, if you could find serious athletes who would agree to eat nothing but McD’s food for an extended period of time. What effect does it have on your body/performance?

Sorry, your menu is triggering my gag reflex. Gotta go! ;p

There was a cnn article a month or two ago about a guy who ate nothing but Mcdanalds for a month. Was writing a paper or something. He got extremely ill, he had to basically detox afterwards and gained a huge amount of weight. I couldn’t find the link but I will look again.

There’s actually a documentary called, I believe, “SuperSized” about that guy who are only McD’s. Has a web site, too. Forgot the URL. Apparently the documentary got financed and is being circulated in theatres soon. Should be hilarious. This Mcd’s/tri tie-in is so funny.

I’m in the pizza biz. We sell Chicago style deep dish, gooey, tasty and lots of calories. This a.m. enroute to work my partner calls me with what he thinks is a killer idea: tie in our pizza stores with a fitness/balanced life PR campaign and raise awareness/funds for child obesity. He has never heard of this website, so I know it wasn’t an embelishment on the McMusselman!! Cracked me up that both these ideas came out within a day of each other. Wish we had Mark Burnett as our PR guy though!!! Hooray for Jeff Henderson.

I think this is a wonderful idea. A FABULOUS idea. How would you like to run with this? Up until now this was all fun and games, and I must admit it was a supersized amount of fun, but what say we do this for real?

I guess my real question is this: want to become the Official Deep Dish of the Musselman?

After reading what I am still assuming is a April’s Fool Joke by Jeff, I did give it some serious thought. McDonald’s is facing a lot of backlash these days, and they are trying to promote their health menus. I bet you could easily convince a marketing person to buy into Jeff’s idea.

Anyone know anyone that works at McDonald’s corporate???
