Took a tiny bite, and it was made by a corporate chef not Pablo who's just trying to make a buck while avoiding deportation for $12hr 😂😂😂😂
I feel like after that nibble he had some ipecac to help him purge it out and then curled up with some affirmations to help him feel better. He's obviously seen where/how the patties are made. Can someone remind him that we are all already full of microplastics anyway so whatever mechanically reconstituted meat goo was used to make that "product" isn't going to be what kills us? While you are at it get that man an order of french fries; he looks like he needs the calories.
🤢🤮
of course Burger King hops on the trend first. king and McDonald's have been rivals forever 😂
These rich people are not humans. They're so weird and out of touch it's kinda terrifying.
No one believes any of these skinny vegan morons really eat their company products 😂
Big arch that shit is trash don't eat McDonald's bullshit
He should be mocked. It showed how out if touch he is with his customers.
McDonald’s took a big “L” on this one
Hope He Better Not

😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Now I’ll go get a Wendy’s burger.
Gross
To be fair, you can’t really “wash” anything down with a Frostie.
Isn’t “ product” code for drugs?
He knows what's in it
Howdy doody
but can they at least make the burgers they sell to people look edible like the ones made for them?!
Can’t wait to try the product myself! 😂
anybody eating McDonald's in 2026 needs to be checked out psychologically…
Ya absolutely disgusting 🤮 horrible!! Only pigs 🐷 eat in McDonald’s
Thats so unhealthy ew
I tried the big arch & it’s DISGUSTING‼️🤮‼️No wonder the CEO took a tiny bite then spit it out‼️‼️
WHERE'S THE BEEF!!! WHERE'S THE…oh never mind; that spokesperson has sadly departed.😢😊
The product was so bad, even the Hamburglar took the day off.
Long live the king, my kid inhales the whopper with cheese so fas I have to get him 2 when we go
I bet it got way more views because it was bad!
😂
Let's be honest, that guy doesn't look like he eats very much of the McDonald's "products" at all.
The news guy took a bigger bite than the ceo of McDonald 😂😂😂
I may do the Squidward's move with these burgers
Im loving it!
two seconds after the bite they cut so you don't see him spit it out
It wasn't really the bite that caused such a stir. It was the fact that he exemplified everything that deeply annoys people about corporate executives of today. The inability to detach from business lingo. The overly philosophical and self aggrandizing LinkedIn posts about leadership. The highly scrubbed appearance and mannerisms. It was just the perfect storm of irritating optics and a caricature of corporate culture.
Hehehehe… an anemic CEO 👨💼
it looked like Obama taking a sip of Flint, Michigans water
😢😮😅😅 but he did not eat that human burger
McDonald’s ceo oh my
Poppy seeds can make you fail a drug test lol
Mcdonald CEO is obviously a vegan NERD.
💜🫂💜
I remember back in 1996 when I worked at McDonald's in Temecula, CA they introduced the Arch Deluxe burger. They gave the employees promotional t-shirts to wear. I don't remember that burger staying on their menu for very long. I doubt they'll ever bring back the chicken fajitas they sold back then. They were so delicious & very cheap, like no more than $1 each & I think sometimes they were on sale for 2 for $1. Even if they brought them back, I'm not sure they would be able to make them taste the same.
Not only the fact that he obviously didn't want to eat it, I don't like the way he talks lol he's like a freaking robot with only the mouth moving and not much else on the face.
It could be work place anxiety and that's why he couldn't eat. I also can't eat at my office due to work stress and anxiety. Hard to swallow due to anxiety.
