DailyDirt: Grabbing A Burger
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
Hamburgers are one of America’s best-known foods, and McDonald’s has popularized this kind of fast food all over the world. (The Economist even publishes its Big Mac Index to compare national economies according to the price of McD’s iconic burgers.) Here are just a few more interesting tidbits with all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions — all on a sesame seed bun.
- McDonald’s stopped using pink slime in its burgers since about August of 2011. It’s interesting that no one seemed to notice any difference in taste over the last few months…. [url]
- Happy Meal toys cost extra in San Francisco, due to a city law aimed at preventing kids from eating unhealthy fast foods. Outlaw toys and only outlaws will have toys? [url]
- Japanese folks who love burgers will be able to order a Big Mac from their car’s navigation system. Next: autonomous vehicles will pick up your food and deliver it to you. [url]

By the way, StumbleUpon can also recommend some good Techdirt articles, too.

Pink Slime
As someone who worked as a waiter and then in a meat market for several years, just because you don’t taste something that has happened to your food sure doesn’t mean that you don’t mind it happening.
