Comment of the Day

A new feature here at Decompressing Faith: from time to time when I read a particularly humorous, interesting or strange comment somewhere else on the net, I will highlight it here.

Today's Featured Post comes from The Consumerist, where they are considering the cost-benefit analysis of buying a cheeseburger at McDonald's vs. making one at home:

Trent at the Simple Dollar makes a good case for why you should just make yourself a cheeseburger. He went to McDonald's, bought a cheeseburger and then tried to replicate it at home for the same amount of money. (He used real tomato instead of ketchup, however.) The burger Trent assembled cost $1.83, while the McDonald's double cheeseburger was $1.06, but he still thinks he got a pretty good deal.

Comment of the Day comes from ONCEWASCOOL:

This is NOT comparing apples to apples. McDonald's beef comes from LORD KNOWS WHERE, frozen, then shipped over. Somewhere in the process they add sugar to keep it from tasting like hammered butt.

Ah, YUM! Think about that next time you crave a BigMac.
