(Icky) McD's Ramadhan offerings

Almost forgot that the Puasa month's started already.

McDonalds is extending the GCB (which presumably stands for Grilled Chicken Burger) by selling to the populace the DOUBLE GCB, which is basically the same burger that's been available for the last month, just double the chicken thigh patties, during the month of Ramadhan from 6 to 9 p.m., presumably for breaking fast.

I've had the GCB twice now because I like it over the annually limited time-only Prosperity Burger. The main reason I'm not having more is because it's freaking expensive at RM8 for the burger only and the combo with drink and fries, RM11.90. Which gives them the excuse to gouge us by charging us through the behind over their other burgers.

The GCB is also supposed to be a limited time-only thing, but if they're selling the DOUBLE GCB, it'll go on for at least another month or so. So can they still called it a "limited time" item? 

Anyway, saw the other Ramadhan promotions on the local McDonalds site, and they have bright green Groovy Lime Sundae and McFlurry as dessert options. I don't know about you, while I know McD's is not the healthiest (nor the cheapest) food option around, but paying to ingest vanilla ice cream with neon green, lime flavoured topping or mix is just plain disgusting. Really.

Anyhow, selamat berpuasa to those fasting.
