Paid to eat, ha.

So, my friend and I are signed up at a couple of different research places.
We got the call the other day...
McD's is doing some research/taste testing, and on saturday this week, we get to head along and
get paid $50...

Which is:
$32.1715 USD
21.6131 GBP/25.3462 EURO
$40.2268 CAD

...each, to eat four, FOUR burgers - they asked if we'd be willing to try a bunch of new ingredients they don't normally have on the menu, some of it sounds like some good burger material.
I feel like this is a challenge I'm gonna have to forego my regular dietary routine and step up to.
$50...to scoff (well they said "at least 2 bites of each) 4 burgers. Yup. I'm eating 'em all.
Me and the mate kinda dared eachother to, I mean c'mon, this shit never happens. Gonna buy me some weed and gardening supplies with the cash.

I'll let you guys know about any interesting stuff I guess?

You're a guinea pig for McD's now? I guess that beats being a guinea pig for Taco Johns. Have fun. You'll probably wanna get ripped before you go.

Ha just the once, the research firm has a bunch of different things they can call you in for, smoking product "research" has been banned, but so many other things are all good, mcd's, fabric softeners, medical research, alcohol, even went to one to discuss how a college website ought to look...I figure if all I gotta do is rock up, I'm ok with that.

Ha. Sounds great. I've always wanted to do something like this. My Sister and her fiancé once got paid £20 to try three cereal bars being made by Cadburys. Odds are that the burgers will be very similar, with maybe only one or two ingredients different, as they're trying to fine tune their final product. I could be wrong, but that's what the cereal bars were like.

Hmm...I would've thought so too, but they read out a list of like 15 different ingredients...eh, either way, 4 bland-ish McDs burgers for free, and 50 buck.
Works either way.
