Or better yet, lets say its for Lent.
Because after eating theCardi B and Offset Meal, youll be ready to give up McDonalds for 40 days.
Back in the glory days of the genre, the BTS andSaweetie mealsweretheir own holidays.
This was Event Eating, spawning an entirecategoryofmemesinspired by the concept (my favorite is theCaroline Polachek Meal).
At least with a chain likeChipotleorSweetgreen, theres the added element of customization to match a stars order.
Cardi and Offset themselves are an interesting choice for a Valentines Day meal.
And most importantly, I genuinely believe that they both still order the occasional McDs.
The ad itself has a pretty rock-solid premise: knowing your partners McDonalds order is a love language.
The only place they dropped the ball is by not including a Bushwick polycule.
They even sing the ba-da-ba da-da together at the end.
Its theoretically a savvy financial move on McDonalds part, because to make it participate you have to buytwomeals.
The Cardi half is a cheeseburger and a large Coke.
For sharing, the meal includes one large fries, tangy BBQ sauce, and an apple pie.
Already I see some flaws here.
Im ancient enough to remember getting flyers in the mail for 2 can dine for $9.99 promos.
How do the teens of today go on cheap suburban dates?
Do they steal their parents Costco club cards to go get dollar-fifty hot dog and soda combos?
When it comes, the bag is so heavy I break out the bathroom scale: five pounds.
Thats I do some quick advanced calc like, twenty Quarter Pounders!
Really, its one Quarter Pounder and nineteen Pounders worth of soda.
The Coke is Coke (I cheated and got Diet.
Strip me of my nonexistent journalism degree, why dont you).
and the Lava Burst is far less exciting than its name.
So take the rest of this review with2780 milligramsof salt.
I ordered the Quarter Pounder without onions, because thats how Cardi says Offset likes it in the promo.
The cheeseburger, though, was beyond dry.
I only had a bite of each.
My friend was making plain noodles in the other room, and that genuinely seemed more exciting.
And does anyone else feel like the battery life of McDonalds fries is getting shorter?
(Whereare the Sharki B Happy Meal Toys, by the way?)
Last was the apple pie, which turned out to not be apple pie at all.
McDonalds gave me a Guava and Creme pie, which is apparently a regional Florida exclusive.
Also, the McDonalds version subs vanilla cream for cream cheese; Sweetest Pie this is not.
Either that or all the bad buzz is a Barb psyop.
you might go on a hike.
you’re able to drink some beers in the park.
you’re free to see a movie, if its Tuesday.
The meal itself is mid.
Its like ifMac Tonightsold his original photography at your local dead malls Thomas Kinkade gallery.
From the top, make it drop, thats some dry-ass burger.
