Overheard at the McDonald’s drive-through, Sunday, April 24, 10:54 AM

Man in Volvo wagon:  “What kind of oil are your hashbrowns fried in, do you know?”

Disembodied drive-through voice:

Man in Volvo wagon:  “…Miss –?”

Disembodied drive-through voice:  “I’ll have to check.”

Man in Volvo wagon:  “I can wait, thanks.”

Disembodied drive-through voice:

Man in Volvo wagon:

Disembodied drive-through voice:

Man in Volvo wagon:

Disembodied drive-through voice:  “Sir –?”

Man in Volvo Wagon:  “– Yes?”

Disembodied drive-through voice:  “‘Really, really hot,’ they said.”

    Hey! I drive a Volvo wagon! Knock it OFF!!

    So…what kind of oil was it?

  2. Drumwaster says:

    Was that the drive-thru with the sign that read “Braille and Picture Menu Available”? smirk

  3. Blackjack says:

    Reminds me of the story I heard about the guy who was told he couldn’t get a half dozen McNuggets, but that he could get 6.

  4. Two Dogs says:

    Amazing, this from the same people that bring you this:  http://web.mit.edu/cms/bcc/2005/02/mcdonalds-culture-shock.html

    Yep, never saw that coming.

  5. Drumwaster says:

    Reminds me of the story I heard about the guy who was told he couldn’t get a half dozen McNuggets, but that he could get 6.

    Or the guy at the pizza parlor who, when asked if he wanted his pizza cut into six slices or eight, said, “Better make it six, ‘cause I don’t think I could eat eight.”

  6. Blackjack says:

    McDonalds—“I’d hit it”

    ???

    Oh well, as long as Wendys doesn’t do a counter campaign—“Wendy—I’d do her”

  7. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Burger King:  “Bring me the virgins of the realm.  For I wish to slide my Kingly thingie all up into that shit.”

  8. Blackjack says:

    Well, naturally.  I mean, who can’t get laid wearing that paper crown?

  9. Grisha says:

    Especially with all those hotties at the chicken ranch…damn you, Hootie!

  10. Isn’t that paper mache head for the Burger King mascot really creepy?  You know, the one peeking into windows in the morning in their TV ads.

  11. iv says:

    The whole Wendy’s thing gives a new twist to the old “finger lickin’ good” slogan, doesn’t it.

  12. skinbad says:

    I would have tipped the kid a ten-spot if he would have said “30 weight.”

  13. triticale says:

    Could be he was hoping to acquire said oil for conversion to biodiesel, but if so this was the wrong way yo research it.

  14. CraigC says:

    No, no, no, he said, “Better make that eight, I’m really hungry.”

  15. dorkafork says:

    Robin, try watching those commercials with the sound off.  Creeeepy.

  16. Percy Dovetonsils says:

    Ya know what’s fun?  Telling little children that the big fake head is the Burger King’s actual noggin.  Then watching the little buggers flip out in abject terror when you add that the Burger King watches them through the window as they sleep.

  17. Alpha Baboon says:

    Dude.. I know you intended this as satire, but this is exactly the kind of dumb-ass liberal hippy question that gets asked in real life here in Seattle…

  18. shank says:

    Jeff, I thought you got fired from Mikcey D’s?

  19. BumperStickerist says:

    My foray into literal customer service:

    Customer on phone: What are your hours?

    Me, in store: sixty minutes, same as everywhere else

    in my defense, I was young, tired and we were closing.

  20. mojo says:

    Am I the only one who thinks those Burger King commercials started out creepy, and are just getting creepier? I mean, man, having that wierd dude in a halloween mask show up outside my bedroom window would send me screaming for the back door…

    Spambuster: series

  21. Beck says:

    Ding Fries Are Done!

    I never get tired of that one.

  22. Evidently mojo, its just you.  And me.  And dorkafork.

  23. david says:

    Those Burger King commercials are very creepy.  That guy shows up at my place, he gets a head full of 12 guage 00 buck.

  24. Sigivald says:

    Triticale: I don’t think the type of oil much matters for that, anyway.

    I’m 99% sure that any vegetable oil will work, and since it’s cheaper and less stinky than tallow, they’ve gotta be using it.

    On the other hand, I bet a diesel should be able to run on straight tallow, too, and I’d love my car to have burger-scented exhaust. Beefmobile!

  25. Matt Moore says:

    Sigivald – I think all the fast food places caved to the health/animal nuts in the mid-90s and stopped using tallow. McD’s was sued recently by Hindus or vegans or some such for allowing beef fat to get in the vegetable oil.

    The King? Creepiest thing on teevee. And Burger King has managed a twofer because the second creepiest thing on teevee is the word meatnormous.

  26. triticale says:

    Matt, I’d like you to meatnormous. Normous, this is Matt. I think you two will find each other of interest.
