Every Olympian's Dream

If you watched the Olympics this year, you saw it, I saw it, everyone worldwide saw it: Every Olympian's Dream - One world, one place: A Chicken sandwich for breakfast: The Southern McChicken Sandwich only at McDonald's. For the multiple millions of dollars that McDonald's burned to promote the sandwich, one would think this would be on the magnitude of say the hot dog meeting the bun, new world tomatoes finding old world cheesy bread, or the ice cream getting its cone. Well, in the three sleepless weeks of surgery rotation I just finished I succumbed to marketing hype and picked up one of these in the middle of the night. What a waste of $3. This thing was just about the sickest thing I've ever seen. McD's should be ashamed to market this crap as should we be for eating this garbage!
