A few weeks ago, we were driving to Nottingham very early.
We’d only been on the road about 30 minutes and the atmosphere in the car was toxic.
Everyone was snappy with each other.
Everyone was whining.
Everyone wanted to be somewhere else.
Anyway, like some contrived ad – I saw a McDonalds enter into view over the hill and decided to pull in.
I was making the assumption that we were either tired or hungry and even if it was neither, I was confident that putting a McMuffin of any description in our mouths would at least stop us being assholes to each other.
As it happened, we were hungry because within a few bites of food, the mood lightened dramatically … but not nearly as much as when Jill got her McBaconMuffin thing.
Why?
Because it looked like this.
I don’t know what made the people behind the counter put so much bacon in it, but for all their generosity, the fact it looked like the food equivalent of someone at the beach who hadn’t “groomed” ensured it wasn’t eaten but it was replaced by laughs.
So whoever made this porn food delight, thank you for making the rest of our journey a whole lot less eventful.

Comment by Pete October 2, 2019 @ 7:31 amYou have either just written the next McDonald’s ad or validated if.
Though connecting a bacon mcmuffin to a lack of personal grooming may have just cost you being acknowledged for it.

Comment by Pete October 2, 2019 @ 7:30 amI’m not sure the scene where the family all laugh at the bacon mcmuffin for its resemblance to crazy public hair is the sort of thing McDonald’s likes to feature in its communication.
