Diary

I found her diary underneath the tree...

11/10/24

I somehow managed to go down a rabbit hole of old McDonald menu items. The McRib, the pizza, spaghetti, hotdogs, and the Hula Burger. For some reason the Hula Burger story is very interesting to me. We go back to either 1962 or '63, and the owner was like "damn, since lent is happening, Catholics aren't coming here on Fridays and getting burgers! Whatever will we do?!" and one of the founders suggested a fish sandwich and the owner was like fuck no and invented the Hula Burger. What is the Hula Burger? Well it's a burger but the patty is replaced with a grilled pineapple slice. What the fuck. So they release both items at the same time to see which one people would like more. Shocker! The people liked the Filet-O-Fish more! so they quickly got rid of the Hula Burger and I cannot find a photo of it from the time it was out for the life of me. Great first diary entry.
