ORGANIZATION WANTS MCDONALD'S, BURGER KING TO COMBINE BURGERS; MCDONALD'S SAYS NO

A group called Peace One Day is holding a “Peace Day” on September 21st. On that day, Burger King, in cooperation with peace One Day, has proposed making a joint hamburger with McDonald’s. They would call it the McWhopper. The thinking is that if, on that day, two giant rivals like Mickey D’s and Burger King can get together to make a McWhopper, then anything is possible. They are proposing a one-day pop-up restaurant located in Atlanta, midway between McDonald’s Chicago headquarters and Burger King’s Miami headquarters, and this is where the McWhopper would be available.

* Peace One Day, heart attack the next.
* This won’t work. Whose patty goes on top? Whose bun do you use? Don’t get me started.
* Meanwhile the little red-haired girl from Wendy’s sits alone and sighs.
* I believe this would break several anti-trust laws.
* What’s next? Cats and dogs living together? Donald Trump and Univision walking arm in arm?
* I won’t believe peace is really here ’til Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell go out for dinner.
* So a McWhopper, huh? Hey, as crazy as the world is now, I say it’s worth a shot.
* The group also suggested peace in the Middle East and for a moment it was silent, but then everyone just cracked up.
* Of course, if we tried this there’d be a fight between Big Mac fans and people who prefer the Quarter-Pounder with cheese.
* Let’s face it: We’re human. Conflict is what we do.

UPDATE: MCDONALD’S SAYS NO TO MCWHOPPER

Late Wednesday, McDonald’s announced that they would not be drawn into a promotion with Burger King to combine burgers for world peace. McDonald’s CEO Steve Easterbrook replied on Facebook that the concept was a “great idea” and “inspiration for a good cause.” But he shot down the idea of a McWhopper and offered a much more vague proposal. “We love the intention but think our two brands could do something bigger to make a difference,” he said. “We commit to raise awareness worldwide, perhaps you’ll join us in a meaningful global effort?”
* He must be talking about combining French fries.
* If Ronald McDonald wants to cross DNA with anybody, it’s Wendy.
* I’ve heard this spin before: “It’s a great idea but we want to do even more!”
* Meanwhile, McDonald’s CEO is saying, “Don’t let their calls through anymore. I don’t have time for this.”
* So I guess world peace will just have to wait then…
* Thanks, McDonald’s. It was right there in our grasp and you let it slip away.
