“Okay, we’ve been getting a lot of requests from McDonald’s to make sandwiches again, so here we are making McChicken,” Michael began.
“So first we’re going to take a McChicken bun. Then we’re going to put the chicken on the side like we would a cheeseburger, but not as extreme. Then we’re going to spread mayonnaise on it,” he says, before adding a blob of mayonnaise. Many people in the comments section have highlighted the messiness, which they say is a trademark of the McChicken sandwich, which looks sloppy and hastily made.
Michael continues assembling the McDonald’s fast food menu, tossing chopped vegetables into a burger sandwich and then saying: For rap. ”
McChicken makers smear a dab of mayonnaise on top of the bun and hastily wrap it before sliding the top bun off to create the asymmetrically assembled sandwich.
Viewers had their own ideas on how to more accurately describe the McChicken sandwich they usually get at McDonald’s.
One person wrote, “I need more lettuce in the crease of the wrap so it flies like confetti when you open the wrap.”
Another quipped, “You can’t convince me this isn’t the official McDonald’s train video.”
Someone else said that while they were close, it could have been improved with a little more violence, adding: “8/10. You forgot to punch the sandwich after you wrapped it.”
“Humans are giving away all the secrets of cooperation,” joked another.
Many people have criticized McDonald’s for offering “smash flat” burgers and sandwiches. One of his Redditors wondered why every time he buys food from McDonald’s, it’s as if it’s a feature of the company that they brutalize the food before handing it to them.
“The problem I’ve noticed over the last few years is that hamburgers and McChickens are being mangled in their paper wrappers,” they wrote. “This isn’t always the case, but I’m wondering why my buns are looking like pancakes. Has my training changed or just the speed at which I wrap the burgers? Poor quality control. ?”
One commenter responded that it was ultimately the nature of McDonald’s “fast” food in general that lends itself to this type of behavior.
“If you’re talking about the buns, it’s because they have to wrap the burger in 2 seconds and then throw it along the line into a pile of other food,” they replied. “You’ll be crushed. Make sure you never complain if your meal takes too long or if you’re forced to park, because this will have consequences.”
According to Richard McDonald, speedy service was a hallmark of McDonald’s fast food business model. history channel: “Our whole concept was based on speed, low prices, and volume.” The outlet goes on to say that the chain’s food delivery model was based on Henry Ford’s assembly of mass-produced vehicles capable of delivering to the public. I compared it to a line.
