The sneaky hamburgler

Don't let this picture fool you, like it FOOLED ME!

I've been in a hurry lately, so i find myself frequenting the fast food restraunts quite a bit more than i normally would.

In an attempt to get you to buy more, they'll usually start their "how can i help you?" bit with, "would you like to try THIS today?!". USUALLY, i always say no, cause i'm there with something specific in mind. But today, when the nice young man on the speaker board asked me if i'd like to try their angus beef wrap, i thought for a few moments and threw CAUTION to the wind. WHY NOT?! What do i have to lose? Sure. Hook me up. I mean, i like trying new things and the picture on your little board there makes it look good... right?

So, i'm eating my snack-wrap when i taste something familiar... ketchup? Is that you? Ketchup.. What are YOU doing here in my nice tortilla snack wrap? You don't belong here. Silly. Oh. Pickle? Onion? Hmm... Snack wrap, you are tasting ODDLY like a HAMBURGER...

So, i decide to open up this tortilla wrap and LOW and BEHOLD, a HAMBURGER PATTY, cut, in, HALF. So, you ARE a hamburger?! (cut in half? REALLY? You couldnt just make a rectangle shaped patty or something, so you could atleast PRETEND to not be a hamburger...)

McDonald's, you TRICKED ME!

Did you just try to sell me a hamburger in a TORTILLA!? Cause THAT'S what this IS! You said it was a SNACK WRAP!

Maybe they should change the name from angus beef snack wrap to MEXICAN burger.

Just sayin.

Lol. I love this. Don't you love food that they have cleverly hidden behind a different name or changed only one ingredient to "spice it up"?? Silly Mexican Burger...

there's half of a hamburger clearly sticking out of that wrap in your picture there....

uh... that picture doesnt look like a circle cut in half. yes. it looks like meet is poking out. i figured, angus beef, it'd be some strips or something. but half a circle of ground beef? tad misleading.

Marketing is a wonderful thing. I bet they just ran out of buns at a store one day and they came up with this. Still. . .I do like hamburgers.
