The Left-Handed Big Mac

McDonald’s published a full page advertisement in USA Today announcing the introduction of a new item to their menu: a "Left-Handed Big Mac" specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans. According to the advertisement, the new whopper included the same ingredients as the original Big Mac (lettuce, tomato, hamburger patty, etc.), but all the condiments were rotated 180 degrees for the benefit of their left-handed customers. The following day Burger King issued a follow-up release revealing that although the Left-Handed Big Mac was a hoax, thousands of customers had gone into restaurants to request the new sandwich. Simultaneously, according to the press release, "many others requested their own 'right handed' version."
I prefer the right handed Big Mac. Although, I’m not really am I a fan of McDonald’s, I think this is a great idea. Those people who are left handed probably feel left out so I think this is a great way for people in our society who are left handed don’t feel left out anymore.
