Hello everyone, this is Running On Empty ...
Food Review and analysis!
So welcome! Welcome one and all to
this this extra special, right? This absolutely
extra special
fantastical
episode of the Running On Empty food review and analysis
because that's exactly what it is.
I wanted to try something new today, and I'll be I'll be brutally honest, you know.
I always like to scour whatever is going on in the fast food world. I like to see all right
what new releases are coming out? What are people talking about? What's going on? I mean there's nothing!
You would, you would think with this being a new year and everything? There'd be tons of releases? All right.
Well, the naked chicken chalupa from Taco Bell was brought back. We got that taken care of.
I mean, there's not much else. Well, KFC, they kind of have a little little value deal going.
Arby's maybe, but I mean, there's not like one of those hyped up
releases, you know? There's not like there's any sort of new pizza that's coming out or some new ... you know?
So I'm just I'm kind of ... I don't want to say dead in the water, but
not even disappointed. It's just I was expecting a little more for the new year. So with that said, I thought to myself,
"Alright, I wanna ... I want to do something a little creative today!"
Because this has been a long-standing
issue personally and I thought well let's let's pretend like I'm actually doing something of value and
get this investigative,
journalism side going tonight. So right now I can confirm the time is 2:30 a.m.
And I went over to McDonald's for a late-night snack. They're open 24 hours here.
Went with a Dr. Pepper.
I've already kind of gobbled up most of my meal.
You can see I got... I had a Big Mac and
There was a hamburger too -
There is no more.
You know unless again the staff really had something
against me and they just decided to throw all their trash in the bag and say that, you know, it is what it is.
A couple, couple fries and
some
fried thing. I guess they just I don't know what that is, but
I guess that's
that's just in there too. We could maybe we could sell that for a hundred dollars or something.
But what I really wanted to,
to break out the camera for is this - this incredible thing:
McChicken sandwich with no mayonnaise!
You see the relationship between the....
Here if you can you can read it for yourself right there see!
That says, "I'm...
"I'm luggin it"
But the relationship between the McChicken sandwich and me has been a bit of a rocky one
because the McChicken sandwich is one of those things that I like eating.
I mean, it's actually... I think it's a truly underrated item on the McDonald's menu. Because it is such a simplistic
Item, right? And it's not of the highest tier. It's not of the highest quality.
It's not one of these premium artisan chicken sandwiches.
And yeah, the meat is gonna be on that lower quality side; yet, It's a very flavorful
sandwich and it's an enjoyable one, you know, it's very inexpensive and it's just it hits the spot. You know? It's one of those things.
Quality or not? If you're feeling it, it just it satisfies that hunger that craving, you know what I mean?
But there's an issue and it's been a long-standing issue:
Practically every single time after I eat one of these McChicken sandwiches,
it does a number on my body. That's that's what I'll tell you.
It doesn't make me feel the best and I was trying to figure out, "Well,
you know, is it, is it really the Mcchicken sandwich?"
I mean sometimes what if it's just what I pair it with?
So what I'm gonna do is I'm essentially just gonna eat the McChicken let you know what it tastes like
And then we're just gonna you're gonna join me on an absolutely fantastical
trippy journey through space and time and we're just going to
record the effects, if any, that this McChicken sandwich causes me, whether it actually
appears to
reduce or boost my functions and/or abilities or degrade them? We shall see!
McChicken sandwich right here, you know, it's like it's the bare basics and we all know that.
I guess it just doesn't want to focus on it. There you go. You know, it's not the prettiest sandwich in the world.
That's totally fine. But,
You know, you just got to know what you you're expecting right? So you get that breaded chicken patty there with those
little black pepper
flakes on it - very reminiscent of that naked chicken chalupa.
And let's just dig in and then I'll get back to you how, if at all, it affects me. So...
McChicken sandwich from McDonald's going in!
All right, so now that we can confirmidly say that I consumed the McChicken sandwich.
I'm gonna keep you updated as to what, if any, impact it has on my health and
we're just gonna go from there. So I'm going to try to keep you updated every several hours and
right now as I said now, it's around 2:40. I'll I'll get back to you in a couple hours. So stay tuned!
Alright, so it's
4:30 a.m. And
So far so good. You know I'm hanging in there. I'm
feeling a little tired, but
not too bad overall and
Yeah, I'm just gonna be getting some work done.
Gonna be doing a little recording work and
Yeah, I'll try to get back to you maybe around 6 7 a.m. So well fingers crossed, right?
All right...
it's a
7 a.m.
A little bit after
7 a.m. And I feel like that bird right now
you know just kind of
flying around and
doing its thing
I'm doing mine.
And
I
don't know maybe the dust is starting to settle.
I'm gonna keep you updated. But uh,
I guess that's the best analogy I can think of in regards to how I feel like that bird - that you're hearing chirping right there!
Alright, it's 9 a.m
Giving you an update.
Gonna take a shower!
That's all I got right now.
Alright, just wanted to give you guys another update. I just wanted to say that the shower was a success and
now
I'm playing some pool.
So keeping you guys posted and
I'll check back in a little while. Okay, so it's about 1 p.m. And
I think I'm gonna head off to sleep now for the day and
yeah, just had a pretty productive day was able to get some good
recording for the broadcast done. I was able to get that shower in too and just yeah, all in all, a pretty good day.
So I'm gonna get to sleep and
then I'll check back in when, well after I wake up.
Alright....
So it's
around 12:00 midnight, and I'm up.
Still feeling pretty good! Back to ya in a little bit. All right, so it's
1:46 a.m. And a
getting dressed, getting
energized. Starbucks was closed. So I had to settle for the McCafe from McDonald's. And...
Yeah, just gonna be getting ready to a get some more work done tonight. So,
Keeping you updated again. And the next video is probably gonna be the final update.
Alright, so this is my final update to each and every one of you. It is now
2:45 a.m. On
Wednesday about a full day has elapsed since I consumed the McChicken sandwich. And...
In that time, it has been a roller coaster of emotions,
twists and turns,
we had a full day full of editing and pool games and
showers...
all of that good stuff!
Bathroom breaks were all right.
Nothing of interest to report there. So, all in all, I mean...
The McChicken sandwich, surprisingly enough, it didn't have any of the negative effects like I'm used to,
I'm used to it having.
But at the same time it did not yield any positive effects either.
So there were no performance enhancing abilities at least of this quantity of
McChicken sandwich that I consumed.
Now,
had I have eaten two or three or
5 McChicken sandwiches? Who knows what would have happened?
Perhaps we'll do a future experiment and just see what happens. But from what I can
concur, over the last 24 hour period,
nothing of interest happened. So that's what I have to report.
Again, no negative impact from the McChicken sandwich this time around although there was no boost to
my cognitive
abilities either.
So keep that in mind! On one final note, I did want to get this out there... You know the radio show?
Yeah, I know, I promote it! It is what it is.
I changed the URL for the SoundCloud!! I thought, "Well... If there's any attempt to try to make it a little easier to find?
Thought it may as well go for it!"
So you can find the show now just by going to soundcloud.com/vorw
That's it! You know, I used to do the whole thing of the underscores and this and that. Forget about that!
I thought it's too long. It's too complicated.
You can find it at: soundcloud.com/vorw
Or just go to the search bar and type in VORW and you'll find that it - it's right there.
This upcoming show? It's, it's going to be featuring your predictions!
You know, what you think is gonna happen in 2019? For the heck of it,
I might even put the audio up on the YouTube. Who knows, but hope you could check it out!
I hope you can tune in this Thursday and
Yeah, I just hope it proves to be an enjoyable show. So with that, that's all that I have for you!
Uh, yeah and again McChicken sandwich is what it is. I was surprised.
I thought I was gonna be in miserable pain in
one way or another but maybe it just blessed me this time and I was not I was not subject to the horrors
which I usually am this time around.
That's all I have for you, ladies and gentlemen, I'm your host to TheReportOfTheWeek.
And yeah, once someone finally releases something new I'll be right on that and I look forward to trying it out.
I'll see you again in a few days with something again!
Hopefully a new review. You have any recommendations? Just comment below! And...
I'll definitely try and see what I can do with it. And, until then... Thank you for watching. Take care!
And that's all that I have. Thank you!
