Variety joins the Fast Food Nation
This is not Restaurant #8. It is the runner up in a press release contest I didn't know I was holding.
That's a promotional burger sent to the Variety offices. A burger that, at first glance, appears to be made of plaster of Paris, maybe Styrofoam, but feels disturbingly both spongy and stale. It also has the vaguely bubble-gum fruity fragrance I associate with pillowcases after they've been filled on Halloween.
In other words, it's a candy hamburger. One that arrived whole, but investigative instincts got the best of fellow Variety editor and Eating L.A. blogger Pat Saperstein.
Lurid, spongy and stale: Kudos to Fox Searchlight for recreating the McDonald's hamburger in marshmallow form.
For those who must know, the flavor and texture are reminiscent of circus peanuts, but the aftertaste is a world of hurt all its own.






Perfumes are the only commodity that requires complete hard work and patience. Every perfume is made having its own uniqueness. I own a blog and write posts on the history and the making of perfumes
