The unfortunate tasting happened on December 19th in Lakewood, WA. I arrived in Lakewood, and decided to go to McDonald's to eat real fast before heading to my Aunt's house. I ordered a Quarter Pounder and a Strawberry Triple Thick Milkshake. I had never had one of the Triple Thick Milkshakes before, but I had heard from various people that they were very good, so I thought I would try one.
Now, according to McDonald's website, their Strawberry Triple Thick Milkshake should look like this:
According to the picture, the shake is supposed to be this delightfully thick milkshake that will bring you immense taste-bud pleasure. (Atleast thats what I see when I look at it). I hate to inform McDonald's, but the liquidy substance I got doesn't resemble that at all.
1) It wasn't thick. It was very very runny. To the point it looked like pink, water-downed, cream-of-wheat. I have ejaculated thicker substances than that shake. Yes, you can quote me on that:
2) I ordered Strawberry. But much to my surprise, I was given 3 flavors. Yes...3. In my Strawberry shake, I tasted a hint of Chocolate. That was tolerable. Chocolate and Strawberry is a good combination, and I figured maybe someone didn't clean out a containter or something as well as they should and there was some Chocolate mixed in. I dealt with that. Until I got to the bottom of the shake. The most GOD AWFUL taste. It tasted like a Chicken McNugget. It was fucking HORRIBLE. A Strawberry/Chocolate/McNugget taste. I threw the rest of it away. That was unacceptable as far as a shake is concerned.
What kind of world do we live in where are multi-billion dollar corporation can mislead the general public into believing their product is actually something it isn't?? This is something that needs to be brought to the forefront. I say we force the principles of the company to live on nothing but Strawberry/Chocolate/McNugget Milkshakes for the rest of their lives! They must be held accountable. This is up there with Enron and WorldCom as far as I am concerned.
