Space McDonald’s!
3
July 2nd, 2010Food, RestaurantsI was at work the other night, and we were discussing space (I think, otherwise the idea just came out of nowhere, can’t have that) when an idea struck me. I told the fellas, “I bet you, ten dollars right now, the first business in space will be a space McDonald’s.” “Like on the moon?” John asks. “No,” I says, “I’m thinking the International Space Station.” It makes perfect sense. What better to remind the brave astronaut of home than an all beef patty, tomato, lettuce, and onion all on a sesame seed bun? Mmmm.
The next thought that occurred to me though was that they would have to change the name of a few menu items, such as the Quarter Pounder with cheese. Weight is a function of gravity, and being as the ISS is a zero-g environment, the Quarter Pounder would in fact not weigh a quarter of a pound. Although the idea of a Double No-Pounder does sound cool to me. And think of the marketability! You can eat all the burgers you want and not gain weight. Also, thanks to special relativity, you can eat burgers in space and actually get younger! Brilliant!
Andrew and John decided that Starbucks would soon follow (and I guess it makes sense, given the name), but I’m secretly hoping that the next to go will be Carl’s Jr., because a Space Monster Thickburger would be completely awesome.

“HAL, please leave the pickles off of that burger.”
“I’m afraid I can’t do that, Jello.”
“Fine, I’ll pick them off myself then.”
“I’m afraid I can’t let you do that, Jello.”
