This’ll teach me never to leave the house without my camera again! Yesterday morning while going through the McDonald’s drive thru, Susan and I noticed a new sign hanging next to the drive-thru speaker announcing the arrival of a new burger: the McDoble. They managed to misspell the word double four times in only seven lines — a new record! Unfortunately all I had with me was my cell phone, and despite what you may see on television cop shows, blowing up a tiny picture into a larger one simply leaves a pixilated mess:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Since there’s no way you can read the sign in the picture, here is what is says:<\/p>\n

“Starting on Dec. 1 our Doble Cheeseburger<\/b> will cost 1.19. But we’re glad to introduce our new item to the dollar menu: it is called MC Doble<\/b>, it is the same as a doble cheeseburger<\/b>, and the only difference is that it only has one piece of cheese. So say welcome to our new MC Doble<\/b>.”<\/p>\n

By the way, the bolding is theirs. They really wanted to emphasize their typo.<\/p>\n

I kicked myself all day for not having my normal camera at my side. This morning when we went back through McDonald’s, we discovered that someone had corrected the sign, not by printing a new one, but with white-out and a pen.<\/p>\n

Goodbye, MC Doble — we barely knew ye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
