China Introduces the Yin and Yang Hamburger!
If you order a burger in McDonalds in China you might find
yourself sending them black as they don’t taste white. McDonald’s latest
culinary offering is inspired by the Chinese phrase “heibai liangdao tongchi,”
which is used to describe those individuals who are connected to both good and
bad. The black burger, which represents bad, comes packaged with tasty onions
and a black pepper sauce. The white one meanwhile, is supposed to represent
good, and comes equipped with a spicy sauce touched with a bit of sweetness. We
weren't sure whether these burgers were meant to be a McYin and McYang sign, a
tribute to Michael Jackson or just a lab experiment gone wrong. I’m not sure if
I relish the idea but I’ll go and chew on it for a while. Holy hamburger, less
happy meal more crappy one if you ask me! Don’t expect this meal to hit our domestic shores anytime soon. This
reminds me of the man who assaulted his girlfriend with a cheeseburger.
The report said the man would not let the woman out of the vehicle, so she
threw his drink out of the car. In response, the man allegedly grabbed her arm
and smashed the cheeseburger into her face. No one was harmed in this big mac
attack, the couple was just having a beef or a right burger
bash! If arrested would the official charge be assault with a deadly Whopper?
Different strokes for different folks.

ReplyDeleteHi Molly,
ReplyDeleteAre you taking the Ying and Yang out of the nations favorite fast food, those look like they have been buried with the last emperor. You can cancel my order and don't even think about asking me to go large for an extra dollar. I'd sooner eat my kibbles....and that's saying something!
Once again our in depth report comes through with a most impressive article. We agree, China keep the black buger.

The black one looks best to me with the onions and sauce. But I think if I were lucky enough to visit China, I would stick with real restaurant fare!

I don't get burgers at McDonald's typically (I stick with the chicken), but those items would intrigue me (I love black pepper!) We won't get them Stateside, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteMolly you have the most interesting post!! Do you have a large research staff or
ReplyDeletedo you do all the research by sniff?
Hugs your BFFF

Ohhhhh. The local McDonalds offers the "Prosperity Burger" every Chinese New Year. And it's BAD coz it has onions and black pepper sauce but by golly, it's delicious!
ReplyDeleteNot sure I would like either one. But what a waste of a good cheeseburger to smash it someones face.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Dear Molly,
ReplyDeleteIs the meat real? If so I will take it.
Licks,

Ewwww, that black burger looks kinda gross. Thanks for the laughs Molly. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory
ReplyDeleteWrigs says he'd happily eat them all: black, white, pink, purple--whatever! If it's a burger he'll take it. Hold the sauce and the onions, though. :-D
ReplyDeleteBOL. You always make us smile Looks like something seedy this way comes.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised they were allowed to mess with the burger. But we don't eat them anyway.
ReplyDeleteYour friends,
Murphy and Stanley
My humans like the burgers at McDonald's!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of a man would assault his girlfriend with a burger?! That's just wrong...

I actually think the black burger looks like a kinda cool idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm not the biggest fan of McDonalds but those McYin and McYang sure look interesting...in some states in America they are now required to put their calorie count next to the burgers and it is disgusting how bad they are!
ReplyDeleteBOL! Hilarious! Luv it :D
ReplyDeleteYap, think even I who luvs burgers may pass on the McYin and McYang ones. Just not right to do that to burgers! :P
Waggin at ya,

PeeS: Thanks for the Sunday press on the POTP website pal :)
