Have an Egg McMuffin in remembrance

Their creator has died.

I just might, but I'll make it myself with my Egg n' Muffin.

Does that mean McDonald's will have a new creator who will introduce less-shitty food?

I realize that lots of people like the Egg McMuffins...I've always thought they were gross.

Believe it or not - they are the healthiest thing on the menu - something like 360 calories, 29g P, 45gC, 18gF.... i guessed, someone will fact check me and it will say 80000 calories and900g F im sure.

I don't doubt it...but I don't eat at McDonald's. I haven't eaten there in years.

Besides, the only thing I've ever really liked from there is their french fries.

yeah, the Egg McMuffin was kinda gross, but still that sucks that the creator died..

It still tastes the same.

actually, i always preferred the Bacon, Egg & Cheese biscuit

I don't know; the guy lived to be eighty-nine. We should all be so lucky

I think I've only ever had one Egg McMuffin, though, a long time ago. I remember having it, but cannot tell you what it tasted like.

It tasted like dreams, with a dash of freedom. And nitrates.

not to piss on an old man's grave...but "Inventor"?! Come on...he put a scrambled egg on an english muffin...that's not exactly splitting the atom.

Do you know that the 'eggs' on the biscuits (called folded egg) comes poured from a carton called liquid egg product?
Eggs on muffins (called round egg) are actual real eggs.

It's not scrambled. It's kind of boiled. Kind of.

Hmmm....do you have any old work shirts with the letter "M" on them?

Egg product on muffin product with margarine product.

Fuck this dead guy.

No, but neither are a lot of the things that people invent. Hey, I'll admit that making a sandwich doesn't require a metric ton of brainpower, but it's just one of those little inventions that improve our lives just a little bit.

I'll applaud to the guy--simply cause he seemed to live a reasonably healthy lifestyle for 89 years.

It's even worse than that... it's sliced from an "egg log".

Riiiiiiiight. I can hear the conversation right now.....it's this guy and Jonas Salk in a bar.

McMuffin Guy: So...what did you do?

Jonas Salk: I cured polio...how about you?

McMuffin Guy: I put an egg on toast

Jonas Salk: That's nice.

He probably didn't eat at McDonald's.

I'm not comparing this guy to Salk and polio, Banting and his discovery of insulin, or Gutenberg and the printing press. That would be stupid.

What I'm comparing him to is the guy invented the paper envelope, or the guy who invented Saran Wrap or the guy who invented the CD case. These are not monumental, earth-shaking, life-altering inventions; but they are smaller "convenience" inventions that make things a little easier.

I don't blame him!

No, I get that...I just think it's silly to call the guy an inventor. He didn't invent anything. He didn't improve anything. At best...he made a crappy version of eggs benedict.

By all accounts...he sounds like a nice enough guy...but come one....he didn't invent anything.

I remember seeing a show on it a few years ago. What he invented is a weird fried-poached egg hybrid. The molds they use to fry the egg (which the dude invented) also allow water to drip inside. Something like that, I dunno. Agree, he's no Salk, but he's at least a low grade Ron Popeil, and that dude is awesome.

How about I get my local Slow Food chapter together and we go dance on his grave?

I always preferred the breakfast burrito, myself.
