Which most people call a burger. I don’t even know how to attack it.”\nTaking a closer look at the hand-held, Lulu calls out various parts of the “burger product,” including its “unique bread some would call a bun … the lettuce, which is green, and the pickles, which make it taste pickle-y” until arriving at what he heralds as the moment of truth.\nAllen takes a large, and very visible, bite out of the burger, holding it up as if to show the proof of tasting.\nThe McDonald’s CEO’s sampling of the Big Arch, which officially launched in the U.S. on March 3, went viral after online viewers called out various elements of the clip, including his use of the word “product” instead of “burger” and the single, tiny bite he took of the sandwich.\nIn the awkward video clip, Kempczinski comments about how he isn’t even sure how to handle the burger, commenting on its overall size.\n“Holy cow!” he marvels. “God, that is a big burger!”\nRival chain Burger King’s U.K. Instagram account commented on Kempczinski’s video noting that they “couldn’t finish it either.” The competitor also shared a video of its own CEO biting into a BK burger.\nAnd so a back-and-forth battle began.\nLulu ends the tasting of the Canadian fast food burger inviting the McDonald’s CEO to join him sometime for lunch. “Just you me, and a couple of Teen Burgers,” Lulu says.\nA&W Canada noted in the comments that they loved Kempczinski’s taste test so much that they made their own, emphasizing that the Teen Burger is only $4.99 at A&W restaurants countrywide for a limited time.\nJoin the Conversation\nThis website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.

Which most people call a burger. I don’t even know how to attack it.”\n\nTaking a closer look at the hand-held, Lulu calls out various parts of the “burger product,” including its “unique bread some would call a bun … the lettuce, which is green, and the pickles, which make it taste pickle-y” until arriving at what he heralds as the moment of truth.\n\nAllen takes a large, and very visible, bite out of the burger, holding it up as if to show the proof of tasting.\n\nThe McDonald’s CEO’s sampling of the Big Arch, which officially launched in the U.S. on March 3, went viral after online viewers called out various elements of the clip, including his use of the word “product” instead of “burger” and the single, tiny bite he took of the sandwich.\n\nIn the awkward video clip, Kempczinski comments about how he isn’t even sure how to handle the burger, commenting on its overall size.\n\n“Holy cow!” he marvels. “God, that is a big burger!”\n\nRival chain Burger King’s U.K. Instagram account commented on Kempczinski’s video noting that they “couldn’t finish it either.” The competitor also shared a video of its own CEO biting into a BK burger.\n\nAnd so a back-and-forth battle began.\n\nLulu ends the tasting of the Canadian fast food burger inviting the McDonald’s CEO to join him sometime for lunch. “Just you me, and a couple of Teen Burgers,” Lulu says.\n\nA\\&W Canada noted in the comments that they loved Kempczinski’s taste test so much that they made their own, emphasizing that the Teen Burger is only \\$4.99 at A\\&W restaurants countrywide for a limited time.\n\nJoin the Conversation\n\nThis website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.

Which most people call a burger. I don’t even know how to attack it.” Taking a closer look at the hand-held, Lulu calls out various parts of the “burger product,” including its “unique bread some would call a bun … the lettuce, which is green, and the pickles, which make it taste pickle-y” until arriving at what he heralds as the moment of truth. Allen takes a large, and very visible, bite out of the burger, holding it up as if to show the proof of tasting. The McDonald’s CEO’s sampling of the Big Arch, which officially launched in the U.S. on March 3, went viral after online viewers called out various elements of the clip, including his use of the word “product” instead of “burger” and the single, tiny bite he took of the sandwich. In the awkward video clip, Kempczinski comments about how he isn’t even sure how to handle the burger, commenting on its overall size. “Holy cow!” he marvels. “God, that is a big burger!” Rival chain Burger King’s U.K. Instagram account commented on Kempczinski’s video noting that they “couldn’t finish it either.” The competitor also shared a video of its own CEO biting into a BK burger. And so a back-and-forth battle began. Lulu ends the tasting of the Canadian fast food burger inviting the McDonald’s CEO to join him sometime for lunch. “Just you me, and a couple of Teen Burgers,” Lulu says. A&W Canada noted in the comments that they loved Kempczinski’s taste test so much that they made their own, emphasizing that the Teen Burger is only $4.99 at A&W restaurants countrywide for a limited time.

Sporting a blue dress shirt and sweater that’s eerily similar to that worn by the McDonald’s CEO, Lulu handles an A\&W Teen Burger with awe, noting: “We love this product. Which most people call a burger. I don’t even know how to attack it.” Taking a closer look at the hand-held, Lulu calls out various parts of the “burger product,” including its “unique bread some would call a bun … the lettuce, which is green, and the pickles, which make it taste pickle-y” until arriving at what he heralds as the moment of truth. Allen takes a large, and very visible, bite out of the burger, holding it up as if to show the proof of tasting. The McDonald’s CEO’s sampling of the Big Arch, which officially launched in the U.S. on March 3, went viral after online viewers called out various elements of the clip, including his use of the word “product” instead of “burger” and the single, tiny bite he took of the sandwich. In the awkward video clip, Kempczinski comments about how he isn’t even sure how to handle the burger, commenting on its overall size. “Holy cow!” he marvels. “God, that is a big burger!” Rival chain Burger King’s U.K. Instagram account commented on Kempczinski’s video noting that they “couldn’t finish it either.” The competitor also shared a video of its own CEO biting into a BK burger. And so a back-and-forth battle began. Lulu ends the tasting of the Canadian fast food burger inviting the McDonald’s CEO to join him sometime for lunch. “Just you me, and a couple of Teen Burgers,” Lulu says. A\&W Canada noted in the comments that they loved Kempczinski’s taste test so much that they made their own, emphasizing that the Teen Burger is only \$4.99 at A\&W restaurants countrywide for a limited time.
