I’m craving Double Cheeseburgers and that means I’m annoyed with McDonald’s. More specifically I’m talking about the local franchise in this part of rural Arkansas. You see it seems like it’s been almost forever that their double cheeseburger has been a staple item on their famous Dollar Menu and as such they’ve been a favorite of mine for a long time.

That is, until about a bit over a year ago I think it was that the local franchise made a change in the Dollar menu. The removed the double cheeseburger and replaced it with the “Big n Tasty”. As a result the double cheeseburger nicely doubled in price.

The “Big n Tasty” isn’t a bad burger as far as it goes, but it’s not the double cheeseburger that I’m craving and would much rather have. The “Big n Tasty” features tomato, a leaf or three of lettuce, pickles, onions (large ring shaped pieces instead of the fine diced onions used on the other, preferred sandwich) and a hefty layer of mayo.

I’m not anti-mayo, but I don’t like having that much of it on one burger. My wife doesn’t care for the onions because they’re so big and because there is so many of them. When we end up with these things instead of the double cheeseburgers I end up fishing the onions out of the mayo on hers and scraping the mayo off of mine which makes them reasonable.

It’s bugged me enough that I’ve been tempted more than once to try to create a campaign to return the Double Cheeseburger to the Dollar menu… maybe call them and email ‘em frequently and put up a web page or blog entry encouraging others to contact them about it.
