The $12 McDonald’s Burger

The $12 McDonald's Burger-CaseyNeistat

Miguel Castillo, Staff Writer

McDonald’s has set up an experiment in a few of its New York City locations that include a “Create Your Taste” kiosk for ordering your own special burger. This machine allows you to make your burger how you want and with as many things as you want. Your average advertised McDonald’s burger looks like this, but when bought at a location it looks much different.

Casey Neistat, a YouTube vlogger, went to one of the locations with his friend Oscar and they ordered a burger from the kiosk that had everything on it. A total of twelve slices of cheese and triple bacon were on this gargantuan burger.

“Triple bacon, don’t do it,” Oscar said after having eaten the entire burger, and Casey having barely managed with his much smaller one.

The experiment by McDonald’s wants to prove if people will be more attracted and pay more for a burger they made themselves rather than their tried and true pre-made burgers.
