McDonald's China
Releasing Oreo, Spam
Burger For Limited Time
By Ann W. Schmidt, Fox News
Here’s a mash-up nobody asked for.
McDonald’s will be releasing
a Spam burger topped with Oreos in China next week.
The fast
food chain announced the limited-time menu item on Chinese social media plat- form Weibo earli- er this week.
On Friday, video game analyst Daniel Ahmad tweeted pictures of the "Oreo x Spam" burger, which shows a layer of crumbled Oreos on top of two slices of Spam.
According to Ahmad’s tweet, McDonald’s is making only 400,000 of the unique burgers.
"Look, I saw this so you have to see it too," Ahmad wrote on
Twitter. "Sorry, that’s how it works."
Twitter users did not have high hopes for the sandwich.
"Mixing Sweets & meat? Eugh...gross..." one person wrote. "This is just destined to fail."
Someone
else commented: "How the hell does an oreo work in a burg- er?? disgusting"
Another Twitter user suggested th e combination isn’t too different from KFC’s Fried Chicken and
Donut sandwich, which was released for a limited time earli- er this year.
There’s no telling if McDonald’s will bring the unique mash-up to the U.S. However, the chain did bring back its McRib sandwich to menus nation- wide earlier this month.
The sandwich has been sold at select locations over the years, but this is the first nationwide release since 2012. The McRib is also only avail- able for a limited time.
