i’ll be honest, this one is late and i really wanna go to bed π let’s just pretend i posted this on the right day π
#tdil mcdonalds once made bubblegum flavoured broccoli π₯¦
how darn willy wonka is this fact though?! π like, who’d have thought broccoli that tasted of bubblegum was a thing π
why was it a thing? well, it was actually an uncharacteristic attempt at making the world’s kiddies eat better! πΆπ» … on the face of it, not a horrendous idea to be honest.
that said, just how healthy can veg designed to taste like bubblegum actually be? i mean, i can’t help but imagine it was probably worse than actually bad food! π
sadly, the charlie and the chocolate factory type plan failed when the bubblegum goodness was tested with real kids … they were not keen π … many of them said it confused them π€·π»ββοΈ
after a host of far from glowing focus group reviews, mcdonalds decided to scrap their fantastically ridiculous idea π’ instead focusing on actual good ideas like offering sides of fruit and reducing the number of fries in happy meals π
but yeah, there’s the tale of the mental bubblegum broccoli that almost was! i really wish i could have tasted it in all its artificial glory ππ»
bye peeps π #tdil
