The New McDouble. Looks pretty familiar, but with one important difference
I love McDonald's. There, I said it. Shower all the hate and shame you want on me, but I don't think it's a paradox to be a foodie and like McDonald's. I've posted about it before on a lighter note, but now I have some grave news. I went into the restaurant today for my $3.25 lunch of double cheeseburger, McChicken and small fries, only to discover that the double cheeseburger is no longer on the Dollar Menu.

I never understood how the double cheeseburger costs the same as a regular cheeseburger. No wonder it was the best selling item on the wildly successful Dollar Menu. According to the LA Times, it costs McDonald's $.06 for each slice of cheese. In an effort to cut costs, the double cheeseburger has been removed and replaced with a McDouble, the same thing minus one slice of cheese. I applaud McDonald's effort to maintain the Dollar Menu, which makes up 14% of their sales. It takes a lot to maintain that Dollar Menu when so many other places have opted for "value menus" instead. And I'll be honest, I ate the McDouble and didn't miss that extra slice of cheese. Would I pay $1.15 for the extra cheese? Nah, definitely something I could live (longer) without.

Go ahead, embrace and declare your McDonald's love from the top of the golden arches. I still respect you.
Fast food is comfort food. I'd write more about it on my blog if I didn't feel I'd get an upturned nose at shunned from foodie functions
When I heard the recent news story about the woman that called 911 because some McDonald's wanted to substitute a McDouble for McNuggets, I had to find what a McDouble looks like. Thanks for the picture and the review.
I'm living gluten-free, so McDonald's is a no-no for me, but your post helped me to understand McDonald's new item.
However, I don't think I'll ever understand why that woman wouldn't accept one in place of the McNuggets she wanted, lol.
