The combination of Maccas fries and soft serve, whilst delicious, is now very passé. If you consider yourself to be a true culinary risktaker, this news will certainly spark joy. The Golden Arches have announced that they will now be selling hand sanitiser for a humble $3.50. All true Heston Blumenthal devotees can recognise that the bravest gastronomical adventure is a Filet-O-Fish finished off with a fat dollop of antiseptic gel.
Customers will now be able to cop a 50ml bottle of hand sanitizer from any McDonald’s restaurant in Australia. The move aims to make life safer and more convenient for customers amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“McDonalds have done an outstanding job to be open and be a part of everything that’s going on with this virus, and to assist our customers in trying to keep life as normal as possible,” shared Todd Bryant, the owner of McDonalds North Orange.
100% of all profits made from sanitizer sales will be donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) Australia. The charity provides support for families of ill children.
“At Macca’s, we’re privileged to be able to play an active role in supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities. It’s an incredible charity that plays a vital role in keeping families close during their times of need,” Jo Feeney, Marketing Director at McDonald’s Australia, said.
So there ya have it, gone are the days of feeling like a greasy, gluttonous slob after gorging on a fat helping of fries. We’re sanitising baby. This ain’t quite KFC’s gorgeous cooling wipes but it’s the next best thing.
Also please, for the love of Christ, do not listen to my Trumpian, brain worms-induced manifesto on seasoning the world’s greatest burger (Filet-O-Fish) with the good goop. Unless of course this is Donald Trump reading this, in which case, carry on my wayward son.
