My McGangbang Experience


It was bound to happen eventually. Once in a while, usually right before pay day, I treat myself to a four forty feast: two McChicken sandwiches (no mayo), a small fry, and a sweet tea. But for only $0.19 more, one of those McChickens becomes a double cheeseburger, as if by some low-rent alchemy. And thanks to the Internet, I knew what that meant.

The McGangbang is Ronald McDonald's dirty little secret: a McChicken sandwich inside a double cheeseburger. Allegedly, you can order this off-menu delight and the paper-hatted staff will begrudgingly assemble it. While I was too proud to order by its colloquial name, I wasn't too proud to construct and devour this once I got back to the office. (Apologies for the Weekly World News-quality photo.)

Is it worth it? Flavor-wise, the fried chicken patty dominates the underwhelming burgers. The cheese and occasional pickle help, though. Mostly, go for the McGangbang if it's on your Bucket List, you have reached your broke/hungry/sadness triple point, or if you have given up on treating your body with any respect. Oh, and for people who care about this sort of thing, a table:
