McFatness!

We all know that McDonald's is not the corner stone of healthy, nutritional meals, but I think that if the United States were to import some of the items off of the Japanese Mickey D's menu, the obesity epidemic would skyrocket!



So, how do they keep these goodies away from the artery-clogged Americans?? They stick bits of deliciousness in the land where the the people have to make deals with the devil, AND both tempt fate and their metabolisms just to put on 2 lbs. Now somehow, I managed not to get sucked into feeding my face everyday with "Makudonarudo" while I was there, but dammit, I can't promise the same if they came over here with it. So I got to reminiscing, and boy....let's just say I got out of Japan just in time!



Let's start with the most foolish:



BEHOLD the Mega Mac!


Though it's no Quadruple Bypass...it sure could give it a run for its money! And it was quite hilarious trying to watch big and small people alike trying to take a "normal" bite of this monstrosity.

But wait...that's not all!! They also had spin-offs, because what's a Mega Mac without either a heaping, hunk of tomato or eggs inside!?!? It's Dee-lishis...apparently.



However, no talk of Japanese McDonalds' can go any further without mentioning, MY FAVORITE thing on the menu....McFlurries...mmm! Sure McFlurries, here in the good ol' US, are quite tasty in their own right, but the Japanese just take it to another level, adding more flavors to tingle your taste buds...

My two favorite...Caramel-Oreo McFlurry (on the right) Strawberry-Oreo (on the left):


Milk tea flavor, which came out right before I left (quite scrumptious!):


and

Blueberry-Oreo (mm-mm-mmm):


This one that came out AFTER I left (daaaaayum!!!) Caramel Macchiato-Kit Kat:


and, my least favorite, but perennial Japanese favorite, Matcha (Green Tea)-Oreo:


The thing that's great is that they change it up...but the thing that sucks is that if you find one you really like they take it away, far too soon. =(

You know what....on second thought....Boy, do I miss Japan!
