STREET Presents: McStreet

Screen-Shot-2013-12-04-at-11.52.00-PM

For Street's last issue of the semester, we were all like, joke's on you! It's all about the 40th and Walnut McDonald's! Mickey D's! The Golden Arches! America's Meatheart! Old McDonald had a farm, but that's not where the Big Mac comes from... PINK SLIME TIME! (Nickelodeon, take note).

This week, we did it all before finals or calories could catch up with us. A courageous reporter even attempted the 50 nuggets in 30 minutes challenge. What's the over-under on how many he ate before vomming? Find out here. And sadly, some poor soul had to clean up that puke. Ego talked to McDonald's very own manager for the exclusive inside scoop, er, soft-serve swirl?

And forget Burger King or Wendy's. Taco Bell is the true rival of McDonald's, and we analyzed the existential differences between the entertainment playing while you devour those Doritos Locos Tacos versus while you chomp on that McRib. But don't for a hot (or lukewarm) second think that McDonald's is the easiest of fast food. We hear that McDonald's has admission rates lower than dear old Pennsylvania herself. You'd think they could at the very least offer a soda fountain with free refills to offset the outrageous cost of tuition.

If you ever find yourself wishing you were just a fly on the art on the wall of McDonald's, look no further than this week's Contrapposto. Or maybe that's not sceney enough for you? Well, while you were busy posting Kelvin-filtered art$y pics of your last meal at Vetri, our photog compiled an insta essay like no other.

P.S. Be my date to formal? I really really don't want to get set up with the Hamburglar.

 

P.P.S. No matter what, we're loving it. It was nice posting for you all. We'll miss it greatly. <3z forever (::::
