Avocado on a Quarter Pounder???

I went down to Marion this morning to get a CD player installed in my car at JB Hi-Fi. The guy told me it would take about 45 minutes, so I figured I had two options - shopping or eating. I chose the latter.

Went up to the food court thinking I'd get a donut from Donut King, but those guys have gone crazy with their prices. I settled on Maccas, and told myself it would be a combination breakfast/lunch.

So I'm standing there waiting to order, and I notice that they now offer avocado on their Quarter Pounders. That, to me, is a very strange thing to do. I'm probably biased because I hate avocado, but I don't see how those two things would mix at all.

Thankfully there is some sanity evident in the bigwigs who run McDonalds = they've reduced the cost of the apple pies back to $1, like they were back in the 80s. At that price I figured I couldn't really say no.

Good points, especially on the apple pie.

I wonder how cheeseburger sales are with the intro of the double beef and cheese?

How much did it cost to install the CD player? I want to get one installed and live just down the road from Marion, so if it was cheap that will be handy.

I have a friend who works at Maccas and the avocado is delivered pre-packaged as a paste. It probably isn't even real avocado. Apparently a lot of people order it though.
