Today is a good day for food fail, and it seems we’ve found a special at McDonald’s in Cape Town. Some people are cackling about it while others are feeling sick to their stomachs.
Popular South African blogger, Christopher Graham Mills of imod.co.za isn’t normally a patron of McDonald’s but yesterday evening, events forced him to purchase a burger at the branch in Kenilworth. To his surprise, he found what looks like a garden-variety snail tucked away in his burger box. We can imagine he exclaimed “Nee Fok!” before taking a photo of it and uploading it to Twitpic.
Comments on Mills’ blog are that of horror, sympathy (for both him and the snail), and a lack of surprise. Twitter user Shy_Mogwai seemed to think there might have been a mixup with the order:
The order was McEscargot, with garlic sauce, and a chicken burger on the side.
Meanwhile, in another part of town, in Long Street, someone making their opinion about McDonald’s known by making some minor alterations to a rather large advertising billboard. It’s succinct and does get the point across.
Have you had any interesting experiences at McDonald’s? Do let us know.

The problem is that if McDonald chose to persue the matter that stencil could only have been applied from either the window above, or below, making it pretty easy for the Fuzz.
That may be true but how does one know whether it was the flat occupants who defaced the billboard? Perhaps some shadowy vandals paid them for a momentary use of their window.
Yummo – that snail has probably got a higher nutritional value than the whole MaccieDees meal put together :devil:
Lol. But we’re all agreed that the McDonald’s chips are still the best, yes?
