Does this go here? http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/jul/15/kitchen-gadgets-review-egg-master-horrifying-unholy-affair

well i do like the sound of the url!!!

that is revolting but probably belongs more in an infomercial-gadget thread tbh. but I clicked, and watched the video, and.... christ. amazing that got through any amount of market testing, it is soooooo gross and hideous.

terrifying

Local hero does horrible things with the Rollie - http://www.thepizzle.net/the-rollie-eggmaster-is-the-best-dumbest-cooking-device-ever-invented/

cracked two eggs into it (which made a strange farting noise as they went down, which was encouraging)

lol

"I couldn’t even make an egg penis properly with this beautiful piece of shit."

horrifying

the video is nightmarish

Pretty sure that's how they fed the clones in the Matrix

So much going on there.

and literally so many ilx threads of different topics it could belong on

with no innovations left to try, they've turned to making a sham of dr. king's dream

Can't wait for Hardee's and Carl's Jr to announce a similar event.

mcdonalds has DECLINED THE OLIVE BRANCH

"We love the intention but think our two brands could do something bigger to make a difference," he said. "We commit to raise awareness worldwide, perhaps you'll join us in a meaningful global effort?"

Spécialité panée à base de fromage de chèvre et oignons préparés et frits, sauce saveur chèvre, salade et tomate, le tout dans une galette de blé.

those are nuggets of fried chèvre! might be worth a try.

yes i would eat this product(s)

McDonald's have an "Irish" burger now

kinda want to try it tbh

what a horrible ad - i hope everyone involved feels bad about themselves in a serious way

you're probably don't get too much exposure to Lovin Dublin and Niall Harbison's antics but yeah, they're basically pure evil

ah i do actually, he is a figure of hatred among some friends in a whatsapp group i'm in. is this connected to that?

Lovein Dublin organized the event depicted in the ad, only to blow their acolytes minds with the revelation that the gourment burgers they've been slavering over are from McDonald's

oh god. i like their "top 10 places to eat chicken wings in dublin" and it's like "the 10 places that sell chicken wings in dublin" like "oh thanks for telling me about elephant and castle"

is dublin really big enough to need an irritating "in the know" foodie website?

well they certainly work very hard to maintain that illusion

Here at Lovin Dublin we love good food. We also love Dublin. Although a lofty one, our mission is to make Dublin a better city and help Dubliners find the really good stuff that surrounds them on a daily basis.

The team here believes that Dublin is up there with Berlin, Melbourne and New York as one of the greatest cities in the world.

there's a real snake eating its tail vibe to the whole thing, in that they have to continually hype the idea of Dublin being this cutting edge metropolis in order to justify their own existence. I can't imagine there's a massive audience for the articles they shit out every day but I think the "brand synergy" shit like the McD's ad is how they keep the money coming in. I genuinely don't know anyone who doesn't think they're a joke but I suppose I'm fairly far from the intended audience

is there corn...in the burger? That's unfortunate

Putting corn in the burger makes it chili for most native German speakers. I'm just reporting.

The whole "you'd never believe it's McDonald's!" approach (also seen in a chicken sandwich ad recently with gourmet food trucks blowing people's minds: you've been eating McDonald's!) seems ill thought out; in the end, what you remember is that people in the ads are unable to believe that McDonald's served good food. I imagine them cutting away right before the person spits out a half-chewed mouthful of what they just realized is fried pink slime chickenstuff and not the simple free-range delicacy they had been led to expect.

Yeah, people can't believe good food is from McDonalds, but they have no problem believing that McDonalds would lie and deceive them with the contents of their burger...

this is a very good insight. It's sort of the "UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT" of ad campaigns.

this kind of thing is everywhere now though, it's weird. i have the same reaction, the "you can't believe it's Taco Bell/Dominos/Chevy/etc" just reminds you why they have a bad brand in the first place

I felt the same way during that Domino's campaign about how they were improving, it just reminded me how much I dislike Domino's. Of course, I already didn't eat Domino's ever so I guess they didn't lose me as a customer.

They make good sugar bough, gotta give em that.

Hey, you know what, iPad? Autocorrect THIS.

i was scratchin my head there
