It's Wednesday?...

I had Mckey Dee for dinner tonight, I know it is bad for me, but I was too lazy to think about what to have, and yes I have seen "supersize me"...

What if I tell you that I used to have much more MC?

When I first graduated from University, it took me a while to land my first job, and it wasn't paying me rolls of cash. So, I had to have MC quite often. McDeals became a food group for me.

For those of you who have had McDeals, you know that McDeals come with medium fries, medium drinks and burgers that are different each day, Wednesdays are the McChicken (if that is really chicken) and Fridays are Fillet 'O Fish (if that is really fish)... McDeal Menus are not usually shown anywhere inside the restaurant (if you call MC restaurants), they are almost a best-known-secret.

I had so many of McDeals, I accidentally memorized the Deals for each day. I didn't even know I have burnt that menu in my brain. Until there was a time...

I was driving thru a MC, with 4.27 in my hand (McDeals used to be 3.99), when the MC part time girl asked me, "how can I help you?", without thinking I said, "McDeal of the day, diet coke to drink, no ketchup" and I handed over the exact change to her.

Following the training manual, the MC part time girl repeated the order, "so you want McChicken combo with diet coke?", my first reaction was actually, "It's Wednesday?!"

The thing was that I didn't even remember what day it was, but I "knew" Wednesday is McChicken day. After this incident, I cut down my consumption of MC down to once a month for a long long time.

If you didn't get that joke, that means you haven't had enough MCs. :)

let's see...

Monday is Big Xtra
Tuesday is Big Mac
Wednesday is McChicken
Thursday is two Cheeseburger
Friday is Fillet-O-Fish
Saturday is double Cheeseburger
Sunday is quarter pounder

and I wonder why I gain 2lbs every year since I started working :)

also, there is a joke about orientals and their McChicken and Fillet-O-fish burgers.

I have a friend who used to work at MC in high school, he made burgers. He told me every time he sees an oriental group at the counter, he will throw the chicken and fish into the fryer, 'cause more than likely, some of them (if not all of them) will order either McChicken or Fillet-O-Fish.
