Upon heading back to our seat from the counter, I felt quite foolish--like a child with a pocket filled with candy. Even before I sit down, I open my palm to show my friend my new toy :)
Imagine my surprise when she reached into her bag and pulled out a plastic toy. A Big Mac. She adds that it was just so cute, she couldn't help but get one.We talked about how it would have been more ideal if they came up with a (1) sundae--or a twist, even better, (2) drink--with straw instead of the apple pie, fillet-o-fish, coffee.
We agreed that it was great they made french fries, but it did NOT make up for the fact that 2011 is a twister-fries-free Chinese New Year!!!

On a separate conversation with another friend, we were discussing about their choice of product features and agreed that the coffee MUST be there to represent McCafe, and maybe the Fillet-o-Fish was their attempt to say "we have 'healthy' stuff like fish".
The Apple Pie did not seem like something distinct about the franchise... so I'm not sure why they had that.
The drink on the other hand is quite distinct plus is is part of the "meal". Maybe they didn't feel it was right to have two drinks.
I'm also bewildered why they opted for the Double Quarter Pounder rather than the normal one. I mean, they had the Big Mac, that should be enough to say "We cater for big appetites here".
Again, GREAT JOB on the Big Mac and Fries--even if I got the Double Quarter Pounder.
It's so cute! I want to get the fries too. Of course, I have no idea what to do with it, but for now, I can just not think and gape :)

Oh this post was just too cute! I always see those miniature food toys and I've always wanted to buy one! People think I'm odd when I put them on my wish list every year for Christmas, and so they don't get me one, and instead they buy me a useless sweater from a horrid store. I'm a violinist, and the state-held orchestra performance i really participated in had a little confection stand right outside the reception hall. They were selling miniature violins! As in, violins small enough for barbies to play! I wanted one so badly...
I think "relevance" is what we can use to describe such "odd" preferences ;)
Another friend came back from a trip with a South Park keychain set and my heart jumped when I saw it in!
