This Guy Wound Up With A Raw Burger From McDonalds And It Only Kinda Looks Like Real Meat…Okay Not Really

McDonald’s isn’t exactly known for being “quality” food, but when you’re driving down the highway at 3 a.m. and your choices are the crusty old sandwich you packed yourself 8 hours ago vs. a 50/50 shot at getting an at least “okay” hamburger, you’ll probably pick the burger. Granted, your burger might come with a side of insane employees or even porn, but hey. At least it’s not raw, right?

…just kidding it might be raw.

28-year-old Byron Thomas took his stepdaughter to McDonald’s (WHOOO what a fucking treat) and ordered a quarter pounder with cheese. Upon biting into said quarter pounder, he found that aside from the cooked outside, the rest of the burger was raw. Raw, I tell you, RAW!

I could go on to tell you how Byron pitched a shit fit and spent the entire night throwing up, but I won’t because that’s not really interesting. What’s interesting is what a raw McDonald’s burger looks like:

You can see that the meat is pink, which is a plus since McDonald’s meat has been accused of being everything from sewer sludge to chopped up homeless people, but for some reason something about it just irks me. Like when I undercook a burger and take a peek inside, it doesn’t look like that. It’s pink, yes, and the outside is more cooked brown, yes, but it doesn’t crumble like that. At first I thought there were bacon bits on that burger, but nope. It’s just weird chunks of meat. Is that weird or am I missing something?

According to a statement issued by a McDonald’s spokesperson:

“Food safety is our highest priority. We place great emphasis on quality control and follow rigorous standards in order to avoid any imperfections in our food.

“We are disappointed to hear of this experience and as soon as we were made aware of the incident, we launched a full investigation. We will be in touch with Mr Thomas once this is complete.”

Right. That’s why people have found worms in your food before, because food safety is your “highest priority,” just like how growing a dick and renaming myself “Robert” is at the top of my to-do list too.
