hello everyone this is running on empty food review well hello ladies gentlemen
and everyone watching i'm your host the report of the week thank you for tuning in to this newest
edition of the running on empty food review series so uh number one i apologize that i haven't been
able to do any videos lately i know i try to do content at least with some degree of regularity
and i know i've been you know maybe absent for a little longer than usual
i haven't been feeling well the last few days uh as a matter of fact it's probably been the uh
the worst i've been feeling you know at least sick wise for right years and you know based on on all
the signs i mean it's a very very high likelihood that it probably is covered based on everything
um the good news though is that i'm feeling a bit better i mean it's very gradual you know each day
a tiny little bit better than the last um but a little bit better than i have the past couple days
so as a result i did want to get to the camera for a little bit and um do a review this is the
deal with the century right here so you know sick or not this is just one that you can't pass up
i can't even say that with a straight face the mariah carey menu from mcdonald's it came out
on the 13th and again there is there's no way i'd be able to try it then um
but i still did want to at least visit it and give a few thoughts there on and that'll be that so
one other question you might have you know is your sense of smell and taste and all that there it is
so that's another reason why i could still do this um the mariah carey menu is the latest celebrity
meal whatever you don't even know what you want to call it celebrity value menu i guess
that mcdonald's has what it essentially is is that if you go ahead and you download their app
and then you spend at least a dollar at mcdonald's you are eligible for a free item
and there's a different free item each day that you can get so you just kind of get
little freebies each day if you use their app and kind of take advantage of this deal if you take a
look at the little graphic that i've included you can see that each day has a different item and
i have a pretty bad sore throat so i'm not going to go over each item but you could see there in
the graphic today's special was cheeseburgers i got myself a couple of the cheeseburgers
this is one cheeseburger i think the big question what the heck does this even have
to do with mariah carey and there's no one no one knows i have no clue what this has to do with her
no one really knows at all and that's that it's just like there's a meal deal
and they slapped mariah carey's name on it i mean i guess maybe she has eaten a
cheeseburger before i guess there you have it so that explains the connection today
so there's the famous mariah carey menu cheeseburger
you can see it's a burger with cheese the mariah carey edition
and again what does this have to do with mariah carey i have no idea they said it's
supposed to come in some mariah carey themed branding none is to be seen anywhere no bag no
um nothing so i i don't know it's got her name on it i guess and that's it
nothing else that i could really find but i will admit it sounds like a good deal let's
just take a bite of this cheeseburger and see if it tastes good and then i'll share a few final
thoughts on the deal itself all right the mariah carey menu cheeseburger from mcdonald's going in
so
standard cheeseburger in terms of everything that you would expect from mcdonald's in terms of
both the quality of the meat as well as the saltiness they're on which is
usually prevalent in terms of mcdonald's you have the standard slice of you know american
cheese there on as well as that pickle that i took a bite out of that you probably saw
all in all everything blends together it's just a standard it's a standard cheeseburger
there's not much else you could say i mean i guess i could sit there and i could say that
it tastes it tastes free um so there's that in the end though it's just a standard mcdonald's
cheeseburger what more can you really say about it it's not the best not the worst though either um
the meat was a little juicy which was nice to see you know sometimes they have a tendency these days
of being rather dry um but it seemed well seasoned and um you know a little a little juicy as well
you could definitely see how there was that amount of cheese there on so um definitely was a uh a
cheeseburger from mcdonald's that's all you could really say about it again what does it have to do
with mariah carey no one knows um you know don't expect like this this doesn't have strands of
mariah carey's hair in it or any sort of glitter or anything sprinkled on it's just a cheeseburger
you may have the the fortune of having it in custom wrapping with the mariah carey logo or
whatever on it but um in the end that's that's all that there is to it it's just a cheeseburger
standard though um standard cheeseburger as far as mcdonald's goes anyway so it's not like you're
getting a subpar quality item just because you're applying this deal i think that's what
we could discern in terms of this so you know out of 10 i would give this cheeseburger i mean
it's exactly what you'd expect from mcdonald's i'd give it a 6 out of 10. all things considered but
again it's free in terms of the meal deal itself i think that it actually is a decent meal deal when
you factor everything in yeah you have to download the app and you know it is what it is these days
but um you're probably getting like 10 or i think 12 days of free stuff i mean each day you're
getting a different item that you could get for free so you know today was the cheeseburgers and
then tomorrow is going to be hot cakes if you like those hot cakes and then mcdouble the next day
etc and you know nuggets on one day and a big mac on one day i think so you're getting all of
these days of free stuff you couple it together it really is like a whole little feast there um
essentially free of charge or factoring in the one dollar you'd have to spend to um you know get this
it's um at a reduced price either way so factoring all of that in um materially speaking it actually
is a legitimately good deal i would say is it silly and gimmicky because what does it have to
do with mariah carey like i said it still blows my mind there's nothing about this but mariah
carey everyone so there you have it as for me you know everyone they always focus on um all
i want for christmas is you now me personally i'm more of a dream lover kind of guy but um
yeah mariah carey though certainly a very prominent prominent musician and uh singer
through the decades you know her music lives on i mean she's still here obviously but
you know all i want for christmas and everything that get get that gets on the charts and the radio
every single holiday season you know that's what i mean by that just keeps going and going and it's a
it's one of those songs you know does get you in the mood though the holiday spirit
but um no it's a decent deal though i'd recommend taking advantage of it again
some free items why not so uh all in all a decent concept kind of silly to just slap someone's name
on it but that's all that there is to it i don't really see a point in giving a numerical um
rating in terms of the deal itself it just is what it is just know the food quality is okay it's not
subpar or anything so um i would recommend checking it out it's limited time it's only
going to be around a few more days so get it while the getting's good if you're interested that's all
that i have for you thank you for watching until next time i'm your host the report of the week
