Get your McDick's
on Route 66

Dec 16 - Sometimes I try to picture myself back in the days of the Great Depression. The fields have all dried up, there's no water in the ol' swimmin' hole, and there ain't a durned thing left to do but go to California.

On the way, I reckon I might jest stop at a big city or two, just to sees it fur m'self, or maybe some o' the attractions along the way, like Meramec Caverns or the Blue Whale. But we all know what the families were really looking forward to...

That's right, cowpokes! The Largest McDonalds in the Free World!



Now enter the ding dang contest!
Think you know McDonalds?
Think again, Smartypants.

Betcha you're one of those guys who orders the same thing every time. You probably even know the combo number of the Big Mac meal. And you call yourself a McConnoisseur.

We've seen some of these new tastes on our travels. Others, we made up. Can you tell McReal from McFake?

Enter and win a Super Size Prize!

Put a checkmark next to the McSandwiches you think are real. If you think we made it up, leave it blank. Then give us your name and email. If you win, you may have to answer a skill testing question.
