If 100,000 People Join My Facebook Group, I'll Eat Every McDonalds Value Meal, #1-#12

If 100,000 People Join My Facebook Group, I’ll Eat Every McDonalds Value Meal, #1 - #12

February 26th, 2008 · 34 Comments

No not me. God no, I would never do that. But one young man (duh, I mean would a woman be stupid enough to do this?) has created a Facebook group (now up to more than 16,000 members) that makes this very promise.

The only stipulation the group’s creator makes, is that while he promises to eat all the burgers, nuggets and fries associated with the various value meals in one sitting, he does not have to drink all 12 sodas, and is free to drink as much or as little as he wants during the process.

For those of you not up-to-date on your McDonald’s value menu, the list of all 12 meals appears below.

#1 - Big Mac
#2 - 2 Cheeseburgers
#3 - Quarter Pounder w/ cheese
#4 - Double Quarter Pounder w/ cheese
#5 - Big N’ Tasty
#6 - Double Cheeseburger
#7 - Chicken Ranch BLT Sandwich
#8 - Premium Chicken Club Sandwich
#9 - Chicken McNuggets (10 piece)
#10 - Chicken Selects
#11 - Premium Chicken Classic Sandwich
#12 - Fillet-O-Fish

I just went over to check out McDonald’s Nutrition Facts and determine what the total caloric intake for this feast would be. Assuming that each meal is eaten with the standard medium fries, the total caloric intake of this endeavor would be….wait for it….wait for it….. 10,710 calories.

To give you a sense of what it would take to burn those calories off, you would need to run 82 miles at an 8 minute pace OR have sex at a moderate pace for 87.8 hours. Hmmm…seems like an easy choice, and not just because I hate running.

So I have a few questions and rule clarifications I would like to address to those who are proposing this endeavor.

Questions:

Do all 12 meals need to be purchased at once?
If yes, must they all be eaten in the restaurant? Or can they be taken home?
If they can be taken home, is any reheating of the meals allowed? Or will the food be allowed to get cold?
What is the definition of “one sitting?” Is the eater not allowed to stand up until done eating all 12 meals? Or are reasonable exemptions allowed for bathroom and stretching breaks?
Does the food need to be eaten in a customary manner, or are eating “tricks” allowed? For example, does each burger need to be eaten like a normal burger, or can a pile of burger patties be eaten separately from a pile of buns?
Is the eater allowed to deliberately cause themselves to throw up at any point in order to accelerate their ability to put down more food?
Does each individual meal have to be eaten on its own, or can the eater mix and match? For example, could all 12 bags of french fries be eaten first, then the burgers, or vice versa?
If an entire meal must be eaten separately before the next meal is tackled, can the eater go in any order of the 12 meals that they wish? Or must they start at meal #1 and work up to #12?

Personally, I think that all 12 meals should be eaten in order, from #1 through #12. Why? that will set up the final stage of the man vs. fast food challenge with perhaps the most intimidating McDonald’s sandwich of all: The Filet-o-Fish!

Sex at “a moderate pace”? How does one calibrate this?

And I have no idea what the big and tasty is, but I do have a soft spot in my heart for the Big Mac.

Why does everyone always have to hate on the filet o’ fish? I think it’s much better than their half soy burger patties or those chicken McNuggets that are apparently formed the same way as particle board.

The Big & Tasty is also known as the Big Xtra

It’s basically a quarter-pounder /w cheese but add lettuce, tomato, an assload of mayo and the special MBX seasoning on the patty

When it was new it had it’s own special patty and was delicious

No, a typical woman would suck a male member and catch a fatal venereal disease rather than show the courage represented here. She would laugh as the male she caught it off tried to down the meals, and then go off to spread the HIV throughout the community on her very own. She would probably feel “Smart?”, just like you, too! Smile, Sweety!!

Only a FATCHICK could eat all that. Nobody likes FATCHICKS!! She could go lie down and die, instead. Probably improve community relations. Everybody would be happy with the outcome.

totally possible.

i once ate 23 slices of pieces at a pizza hut lunch buffet. granted, the slices are not huge slabs, but that is a lot of bread and cheese (and some sauce).

30 Going Postal: Man to stuff face for Facebook, python to digest chihuahua and one big panty raid - Posted // Mar 7, 2008 at 5:33 pm

[...] For the love of FacebookA young man has pledged to eat all twelve of McDonald’s value meals in one sitting for a small price: he wants 100,000 people to join his Facebook profile. The group currently counts 16,000 members. While the man promises to polish off all the burgers, nuggets and fries, there is one stipulation: he is free to drink as much or as little as he wants during the gut-wrenching process.Family python eats family dogAn Australian couple are traumatized after their five-metre python devoured their silky terrier-cross chihuahua in front of them, just weeks after their other pythons killed their cat and guinea pig. The family chucked chairs at the python, to no avail: by the time Australian Venom Zoo owner Stuart Douglas arrived, all that could be seen of the pooch was its back legs and tail. “It only took about 30 minutes to eat the dog, but it will be digesting it for two days,” Mr. Douglas said.“The mother of all panty raids”About 500 pairs of women’s underwear went missing from a Florida Victoria’s Secret store last Friday. A store employee “noticed the front side of the panty bar in the ‘pink’ room was missing panties,” a sheriff’s report stated rather soberly. Total panty loss was estimated at $5,245.50. Hopefully somebody is having a good time.George Washington’s hair sells for $17,000 Four strands apparently clipped from the first president were sold at auction to Kentucky man who declined to give his name. Colorado resident Christa Allen told buyers that the hair had been handed down through her family since it was clipped from George Washington’s head sometime in the 1830s. But the hair went for way less than the $75,000 the auction house was hoping for. “I’ve never sold George Washington’s hair before; I don’t know,” Jamie Bates, owner of Thompson & Riley, told the Associated Press. — Zosia Bielski, National Post Got a weird news tip?

No sandwich is as tasty and low-priced, as the custom dollar menu double cheeseburger with just cheese and Big Mac sauce! Yes all the wonderful flavor of the Big Mac, but with fewer carbs. If you have not tried this custom wonder of a sandwich you must, and trust me when I saw it will blow you away!
