Switch It or Mix It

January 30, 2012


Boston- 


During a Phantom Gourmet interview, Dave, their lead reporter, talked to the CEO of McDonald's, Joe Fisher. Joe Fisher has come up with an event called the Switch It or Mix It. This allows customers to either mix or switch between two opposite food categories at McDonald's, such as mixing sweet with savory.                                                                         

Talking to some of the Boston residents about this event was interesting. Sally, a woman from Hyde Park, said, "nothing would be better than chocolate ice cream between a sesame bun." Another man from South Boston says, "wow, with all these different combinations that people have to pick I wonder if any of them would be as ridiculous as a ground meat and cheese milkshake. Just from these two people you should probably have an idea about how crazy this event will be.                                            


After this event topic was presented to me, I had a question about the price of these crazy made-up meals. Fisher says, "no matter what combo or how much food as long as it's a Switch It or Mix It meal; its only $ 3.59." 


Sounds like quite a relief seeing how the economy is down. Well, sounds like an interesting event, and Dave will be back in Boston at most local and participating McDonald's restaurants to see these crazy combos.
