McDonald's sells 'Spam burger' with crushed Oreos in China

https://www.kxan.com/news/weird-news/mcdonalds-sells-spam-burger-with-crushed-oreos-in-china/

BEIJING (AP) — McDonald’s is selling a sandwich made of Spam topped with crushed Oreo cookies Monday in China in an attention-grabbing move that has raised eyebrows.

Global brands from restaurants to automakers sometimes roll out offbeat products to appeal to Chinese tastes in the populous and intensely competitive market.

This is undoubtedly one of them.

“I thought it was delicious,” said a comment signed Feifei Mao Enthusiast on the Sina Weibo microblog service. “Is that because I love McDonald’s too deeply? Or is something wrong with my taste?”

The sandwich is made of two slices of Spam, a product of Hormel Foods LLC, and Mondelez International’s Oreo cookies, topped with mayonnaise.

Added a glaze and used a better quality bun. It does sound interesting!

By feeding them the same garbage we eat! Easier than fighting and negotiating and all that.
