With the news that Tommy Robinson has now been pelted with milkshake twice in as many days, it will come as no surprise that McDonalds are getting in on the act with the launch of a new shake designed especially for the purpose of throwing at far-right hatemongers.
Spokesman Evan Ideer issued the following statement last night:
“It’s become clear that milkshake throwing is turning into a thing, so as a provider of milkshakes, we want to play our part in this. So we are bringing out the McChucker, a new milkshake for throwing at people.”
This move is clearly designed so that their milkshake will literally bring all the boys to the yard.
The McChucker will come in the same range of sizes as their usual shakes, but is priced less. After all, why pay more for something you’re not even going to drink?
This immediately led to questions about the chance of customers drinking the new milkshakes, but Mr Ideer was quick to counter that:
“The new McChucker is not actually drinkable,” he explained. “Anyone who doubts this is welcome to try but does so at their own risk, as the contents include a powerful emetic, designed to make people vomit. That’s the other reason why we called it the McChucker. If you drink it instead of chucking it, you’ll still chuck it, but you’ll enjoy it a lot less.”
So you can’t say you haven’t been warned.
Mr Ideer continued:
“We’re obviously going to be following Tommy Robinson’s itinerary very closely with this, and delivering extra ingredients for the McChucker to places he’s going to turn up, so as to maximise our selling potential in those areas.”
There has been no official response from Tommy Robinson or his team as yet. However his supporters have said they would also be buying McChuckers to throw at Tommy’s enemies.
Rumours are also in the air that McDonalds plan to capitalise on this by launching a special express laundry service to clean up any mess made by these shakes hitting the wrong targets. They don’t miss a trick, do they?
The new McChucker will be officially on the menu next week.
