Dis-gust-ing
A chicken chain, which consists of five whole London restaurants, has joined forces with Oreo, of all things, to make this disgusting chicken and Oreo meal deal.
The Oreo shake is fairly orthodox – though that one looks a touch Oreo heavy, if you ask me. The thing on the right is garlic fries topped with crushed Oreos, the hell.
The abomination in the middle is the Big Twist Burger: “fried chicken is layered between nacho cheese, smoky chipotle mayo and an exclusive mexican-inspired mole sauce made with OREO crumb in a burnt chocolate charcoal bun.”
The article – which I found in a Sussex news source – is obviously just the press release verbatim. They describe the meal as “sparked by a social movement which has seen fans celebrating and debating the different ways they enjoy eating the iconic black and white cookie.”
Which is bullshit. There is no such conversation. Oreos are not particularly popular here (Uncle B says, “why would you eat black food?”). I can’t find anything on social media.
Maybe it’s on the ‘gram. I don’t have an Instagram account.
There’s something weird going on here. It’s only on the menu for three days (the first three days in September). Each store is giving away 150 of these abominations free per day, first come first served. That’s 2,250 free meals.
At a guess, I’d say they’re trying to go viral for some reason. They’ve launched it two days ago with the hashtag #OREOtwist, which is getting zero engagement on Xwitter.
Five English fast food joints and American cookie giant Nabisco? Beats me.
