rolling new food laboratory inventions for american chain restaurants thread

I saw a thing on nat geo or somewhere about a guy covered in benign growths that looked exactly like that

i've never actually had a shamrock shake. I'm gonna fix that tomorrow

ugh it's fucking made of mint??

made of, cmon, it's a flavor

put some toothpaste in yr milk and you'll approximate the flavor

it's gross

different mint types, this is more like creme de menthe

creme de gross

You guys don't like mint ice cream? Huh

Not unless you put some chocolate in it

you are savages

also, that haagen dasz line with the minimal ingredients has an awesome mint flavor

that creature IS a double down... a Zinger Double Down

oh my god

lord have mercy

UM HELLO

I just searched for Shamrock Shake to talk about how excited I am that it's that time of year again. SHAMROCK SHAKES ARE DELICIOUS YOU WEIRDOS.

I had one last week I felt mugged

They can vary from place to place. I mean, I have like one maybe two a year but some are amazing and others? Not as amazing. I'm sorry you had a disappointing shake experience.

good article

I clicked on the link and one of the banner ads was...

Cut 9 pounds of stomach fat every week by using this 1 weird old tip

In this case, that 'weird old tip' would be 'Don't eat the new sausage double beef burger at McDonald's China and you'll avoid injesting 9lb of meat'.

the glaze makes it look like it's crying

Would eat. Two of them.

come, glazed warrior, join your sister in the pits of my stomach! (in brian blessed voice)

i imagine brian blessed addresses all his breakfast foods like they are worthy adversaries.

My recent coworkers roam the hallways on Friday mornings, the days most likely to have donuts or assorted pastries in common areas. These beasts would not survive the hunt.

Damn that looks good.

these are some of the scariest looking pictures of food i've ever seen.

OTM whoever posted Oscar the Grounch. these foods look like they're going to start talking to me. or that they're made of plastic.

i've had a double-down sandwich before but the way it looks in that video still is so creepy.

deep inside that taco

Well, I'm sure glad they finally figured out how to do the dt, cuz that thing is awesome.

ugh shamrock shakes are terrible and i love mint ice cream

Dlt, crap

doritos locos tacos make me irrationally angry

I felt the same way about Cool Ranch almost 30 years ago.

Folks, please pour one out for the legendary BURGERPIPE -- Burgerpipe - The Burger Of The Future Is Here Now!

Cool ranch dlts are yum. Yes, I'm calling them by their insider name from now on. Which also makes me realize I might like a blt taco.

I would eat a burgerpipe.

(I nearly posted 'I'd eat the shit out of a burgerpipe', but that would have been weird)

Yeah, I'd like to suck on some of that!

Would it be considered bad manners to eat the burgerpipe directly as it's coming out of the burgerpipe tube? Like lying under an ice cream dispenser and letting the ice cream go straight into your mouth?

wot no syrup??

“It’s one of the harder day parts to win because you have to get consumers to come in and try the new coffee, try the new breakfast sandwiches. And honestly, it’s trying to teach your consumer to operate in the mornings and try something a little different”

lol i love the idea that we just don't understand but could be taught to eat breakfast tacos

doesn't a part of yr glorious country have a weathered breakfast taco tradition already? i think the idea that people can be taught to like a food isn't all that weird (like 50% of burrito places in the uk will, somewhere in the packaging, or on leafletage, or on the wall, explain what a burrito is); the idea that taco bell are in the business of doing so momentarily sounds weirder but isn't really (p sure people had to be taught to drink 'baja blast' flavour mt. dew)
