-- If McDonald's were to re-introduce the McLean -or- the similar, would it have ....
 

I think the McMelon would do well, Mr. Simply Red. A slab of cantaloupe or watermelon or one of those greenish melons would be good. Maybe served with raspberry dipping sauce or something.

Nothing hits the spot like some nice, cool melon.

hell no. McRibbs and dbl qtr punders for this man

Aren't they doing some kind of 50 piece McNugget deal this month on weekends?

For I have dined on honeydew, and drunk the milk of paradise.

Wasn't the McLean a seaweed burger? Nobody wanted to eat that shit then, and no one is going to want to eat it now.

fast food places have a reputation that is hard to get over for the healthy crowd. Sure, they may have a "healthy" buger, but their sides still consist of fries and...fries. If it was just about having a healthy option, the grilled chicken would sell more and be a sort of oasis for healthy people.

"Healthy" fast food has to be an overall image, not a single option on a menu.

yeah, this place I eat at has an amazing Turker Burger, I get it w/ swiss, but, it's funny, it's still probably AT LEAST 750 calories, and that's w/o mayo.

Wouldn't that just acknowledge that the other burgers are McFats?

Are you drunk?

I think that has been their image all along.

Kinda like pizza hut. They went away from attracting older, mature (smart) customers, because it was a lost cause the more people learned about nutrition. Now their advertisements are aimed at poor people and college kids.

Nope.

The McLean Deluxe was marketed as a healthy alternative to McDonald's regular menu. It was released in the United States in 1991. It had a reduced fat content compared to other McDonald's hamburgers. This was achieved through use of 91% lean beef and the addition of carrageenan to the meat.

Carrageenans or carrageenins (pronounced /ˌkærəˈɡiːnənz/, with a hard g) are a family of linear sulphated polysaccharides which are extracted from red seaweeds.
