Hey, John, here’s a new taste treat for you guys on the Atkins diet!
Here at MeatShake Corporation, we have a simple vision:
Meat. Lots of meat.
We bring you our vision in the most amazing and scrumptious forms imaginable. Our dedication to meat is nothing short of mighty.
That’s our promise to you, the valued customer.
Mm: the (Christmastime) Vanilla Ham Shake sounds gooood!
Meat… shake… they don’t go together, and yet the idea is strangely compelling…
Speaking of compelling:
I am waiting for the fast food folks to figure out how to cater to the Atkin’s dieters. How about wrapping some diced chicken or sliced beef in a lettuce wrap and throwing some cheese on top?
It reminds me of the “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” (U.K. style) sketch for “World’s Worst Ice Cream Flavors”:
Ryan: Have you tried the pork?
Never thought it’d be real. Then again, this isn’t so surprising.
In-N-Out already does this and has for sometime — you can order your burger “protein style” and instead of a bun you get it wrapped in lettuce. It’s pretty darn tasty.
Also, this post reminded me of a Jack in the Box commercial from a few years ago where a “focus group” is talking about some hamburger, and complaining about the bun. Jack runs into the room and exclaims something like “if you take away the bun, you’ll have meat and cheese all over your hands!” and they all making oohing and ahhing noises. It ends with Jack saying “we’ll think about it” or some such. :-)
