Some comic relief with everything going on today. Garron, the Irish guy, is a riot.

When the CEO put this video out last winter, he got roasted over it.

https://nypost.com/2026/03/01/business/mcdonalds-ceo-chris-kempczinski-ruthlessly-mocked-over-viral-video-tasting-big-arch-burger/

The CEO of McDonald’s was ruthlessly mocked across social media after posting a viral video of himself struggling to chomp down on a new super-sized menu item — which he oddly called a “product” — at the fast food chain.

The clip posted to social media last month shows McDonald’s CEO and Chairman Chris Kempczinski reluctantly trying the new “Big Arch” burger, which will be released in the US on Tuesday.

“I love this product, it is so good. I’m going to do a tasting right now, but I’m going to eat this for my lunch, just so you know,” Kempczinski tells the camera.

Kempczinski then struggled approach the oversized sandwich, saying he “didn’t even know how to attack it,” as he hesitantly lifted the burger to his mouth.

“ Mmm, that is so good, that’s a big bite for a Big Arch,” the CEO said after taking a comically small bite and turning the burger toward the camera.

Users on social media immediately jumped on Kempczinski for treating the burger like a foreign object and doubted whether the CEO even enjoys chowing down on his company’s menu items.

“Man’s aura screams kale salad,” one user commented in a reply to the video on Instagram.

Sounds like something Dylan Mulvaney would like.

It’s made of cardboard? That’s gotta be an improvement right there.

Did not know if it was true or not, but a YouTube short had a story of a German (during the recent soccer games) trying to order a beer at a McDonalds.

The man behind him laughed at the German.

Then the German laughed and the other asked what was so funny?

The German said: “You came here for the food.”

LOL. I heartily agree. By the looks of him, the guy probably hasn't ate a burger in his whole life.

First time I went to Germany in the 80’s I found out their McDonald’s serves beer.

Germans treat beer like soda. I enjoyed it!

If I was the CEO of McDonald’s, I’d look like Mr. Creosote.

And in Paris, you can buy a beer at McDonald’s. And you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?

I get the idea that you posted this a year ago and forgot to click post.

I was talking to a young German fellow and this conversation came up. I mentioned that the brand in my time there was Parkbrau. He swore he never heard of that brand at all. When I was there it was the default beer for any venue. Do you happen to know what kind they serve now?

Most fast food burger joints in Texas serve beer. Wouldn’t know about McDonald’s

McDonald's Big Arch burger is roughly $7.50-13.00 for the sandwich across the US. A combo w/ fries and drink ranges from $11.00-15.00 (up to $21 in airports). Exact totals depend on local operating costs, and restaurant franchise.

I have not seen it offered near me for a while.

I am just waiting for the McDlt to come back, it was much better.

Yes they do (serve beer) but they are not ‘fast food’. You go there for a meal.

Two favorites are in Hood County; burgers up to 1lb.
