McDonald’s is testing a new McCruncher cheeseburger in select Alabama markets. Basically, it’s a cheeseburger (pictured above) dressed up with white cheddar, chipotle ranch sauce and crispy onion strings for only $1. There’s no telling when or if it will debut nationwide, but it seems like an item that would do well.
McDonald’s has also been testing a Bacon McDouble for $1.99.

Take a run-of-the-mill Dollar Menu McDouble then add two slices of crappy bacon to it for 99 cents extra. Apparently, that’s what passes for a new menu idea at McDonalds now. Clearly, they should take some lessons from their Japanese Burger King counterparts.
Plus, can’t you just add bacon to a McDouble anyway?
Whatever the case, the burger is currently being tested at markets around the U.S. No world yet on when or if it will roll out nationwide.

In order to draw artistic parallels between the ancient Egyptians’ quest for immortality through mummification and the inexplicable inability for McDonald’s food to decompose, a guy named Ben sculpted this eerily realistic and thoroughly disgusting mummy out of McDonald’s hamburgers and resin. The ultimate goal is to create a McDonald’s-themed art show which will feature his two mummies, as well as preserved hamburgers in commercial plastic cases, McDonald’s food skulls and large scale paintings. To that end, Ben has launched a Kickstarter campaign with a $2,500 goal.

The movie may have sucked, but kids are digging Cartoon Network’s Green Lantern: The Animated Series on DC Nation. That’s why McDonald’s has officially launched an assortment of Happy Meal toys based on the show.
The set includes three different versions of Hal Jordan, Razer, Kilowog, a disc-launching Interceptor ship, a Hal Jordan mask and a light-up power ring.
The sets should be available now at participating McDonald’s.

McDonald’s Austria has a new limited-time offering (until March 27th) on its menu called the “McRibster”—and it’s pretty much a deep-fried, breaded McRib covered in Pepper Jack cheese and bacon. Did Austria just out America America?
This will not stand.
McDonald’s USA should retaliate by beer batter frying the McRibster and replacing the cheese with mozzarella sticks. Your move Austria.
