I'll have a double cheeseburger and hold the lettuce?

This is the start of the infamous "McDonalds drive-thru rap" on youtube. Maybe you've seen it, maybe you haven't. I personally had never heard this quite interesting rap until my little brother was shouting it into his phone [ I later found out he was leaving a lovely voicemail for a friend]. He's 13 and he loves it. Thinks its the most hilarious thing he's ever heard and many a time I've heard, "When I can drive, I am so going to do this!" Alriiiiight. Way to go little bro. Let's end up like these kids who did it and wound up getting a ticket:

McDonalds drive-thru rap


Really, I see this as a case of "Disgruntled Minimum Wage Employee Syndrome". If kids want to rap their order, go for it. At least they're super-sizing their order, sheesh. No need to go all commander McDonalds manager on them and call the cops. Using his powers of authority, he took down the license plates of the offenders and proceeded to escalate the issue into a monumental offense. Local authorities then tracked the meddlesome children and "gave all four teens the equivalent of a speeding ticket on the charge of disorderly conduct for disrupting business." Kids are kids. They come up with stupid raps and spout them in public. The teens claimed no one was in line and that their performance wasnt disrupting anyone. Only in American Fork, Utah would this be an issue. Statements to police from employees said that the "workers felt threatened". "It was basically harmless," one of the teen's mother said. "It wasn't interfering with anything, and it's just hard to believe a ticket would be issued for that." Here in the great nation that is America, you can get a ticket for just about anything. Jaywalking,
possessing silly string between the October 31st and november 1st on Michigan streets, and if you're in good 'ol Texas you can't shoot at a Native American from a trolley car. Only in America folks.

  1. I can't believe they got a ticket for that! In the original video, the McDonalds drive thru worker called over several other people to listen and they were laughing and had them repeat it several times. This isn't fair!
