Discussion: <span style="line-height: 1em;">Alaska McDonald's Changes Burger Name From 'McKinley Mac' To 'Denali Mac'

Discussion for article #241520

Now that’s what I’m talkin about


materials are being created for the Denali Mac, which has two quarter-pounders between the buns instead of regular hamburgers.

I get it! The burger’s gonna be as dangerous to your health as the mountain. Nice going McDonalds.

OK then. A Mickey D’s double quarter pounder with cheese weighs in at 734 calories and 45 grams of fat; with 18 of those fat grams being saturated. Throw in an order of fries and add another 370 calories and 19 grams of fat; 12 of those grams saturated. Now we are up to 1104 of the calories in a 2000 calorie per day diet. Better order the Diet Coke, huh?

Who goes all the way to Denali Mountain and celebrates by eating the world’s grossest hamburgers?

McDonalds needs to make a whole hell of a lot more changes, like making their food actually appetizing or less deadly for instance.

Luckily there are no McDonald’s in Talkeetna. Probably none on the north side either. P.S. It’s just Denali, not Mt. Denali or Denali Mountain.

Time for you to let loose on 'em: if you’re ready to go this far, put your thoughts in a stern letter to the bosses at McDonalds. You can start by saying you know the reason they lose money every year, but it doesn’t have to be that way!

Gee,you think they might just be able to put some sensible nutrition in that stack someplace?
A name is a sales tool. Changing it every hour on the hour would not make the food any better for you.
Generations of junk like this has given America a problem with obesity, cholesterol, and blood sugar.
So change the name, ignore the problem, and by all means keep selling something that we all pay for, eventually. But that doesn’t matter, does it?
Welcome to America and her “Great” 50th State.
Sled dogs have more common sense.
Yes, they will eat one of these, if you give it to them.
But why do you hate them that much?

If you love your dogs, don’t give them junk to eat. :dog:

I let loose by not spending a nickel at one of them for longer than I can remember.

I would go a few times a year up until I saw super size me, then I was done.

If they are losing money every year and closing thousands of shops, I think the damage is being done.
