Cool how the professor explained how an ñ worked. Not sure he knows what a hipster is, either. Or, for that matter, possesses any knowledge not held by anybody older than 14.

The Janney survey also finds that McDonald’s operators are heavily relying on the current Monopoly promotion to stop the ongoing sales slide. “Everything depends on Monopoly,” one franchisee told Kalinowski.
One franchisee said, “McRib should prevent further declines.”
“We are leaderless,” says one franchisee. “McDonald’s Corp. is scrambling to find answers to their problem,” says another.

Every year, the monopoly game manages another round. The rules are complicated, the tabs you peel off is printed in Greek hieroglyphics. And yet, craigslist and the print classifieds are filled with the I'VE GOT PARK PLACE, LET'S SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE ads. It's a fast food franchise contest based upon an 80-year-old board game everyone hates. I just don't get it, but hat's off to them.

I know this makes me basically a monster rooting for the end of the world, but McDonald's hotcakes in a styrofoam package like that trigger such fond memories. I almost never ate at McDonald's, but my grandad liked it, so when he was in town that would be the special breakfast out. The sound of the toxic plastic crinkling under your fork as you saw through the syrup-coated cakes is one of those ineffables that future generations will never understand.

Like ten years ago I came up with a restaurant concept sort of like that. The place would only have a griddle and a deep fryer and you would be able to order whatever combo of prepared commercial food service things you wanted - like french toast with a bratwurst and two chicken fingers, or waffles and mozzarella sticks, whatever. There would be a line of dispensers of common sauces and condiments - ranch, maple syrup, nacho cheese, marinara, chili, and so on. And at the end would be bins of crushed breakfast cereal, nacho chips, cheetos, pretzels, etc. that you could put on top for texture and flavor. This was going to be selling point and the place would be called Crumblins™. For some reason I thought there should be a neon sign of a skunk holding his nose with animated stink lines as the logo.

I mean, I like comfort food as much as anyone, but Golden Corral is cynical and evil, they aim their advertising at the nutritionally ignorant.

Cotton candy isn't that bad for you since there's so little in it.

That's right - go for the chocolate waterfall - cover up those shortcomings. Get some farmy Midwestern people to endorse it. A chocolate waterfall is at least something resembling home-prepared food.
Seriously, I am nutritionally conscious and there was nothing "wholesome" on the entire menu. It is for food-as-drug.

I tried that McDonald's monopoly game once and it brought out the homicidal gambling addict in me. Bought a wrap there last month (not bad, it has actual VEGGIES), saw the game piece and thought, "never again!"

Sufjan, I lived down the street from a McDonald's at the time, a few lunches a week plus getting friends & family to give me their pieces. It was a few years ago, but as I recall I'd picked up some hard-to-get pieces.

Rejoice fans of all things pumpkin spice (and maybe Umami fans). The infamous Pumpkin Spice Latte Burger at Umami is available TODAY only for $4 (November 5). Made with pumpkin pie spiced mascarpone cheese, tempura kabocha squash, garlic aioli, and a sweet drizzle of coffee flavored molasses, it's a near-Internet phenomenon.
