Gigantic robotic egg announces Egg McMuffins daily

mcdonaldsegg.jpgHow do you know whether or not McDonalds is still serving breakfast? Well, usually you just check your watch. If it's earlier than 10:30 am, they are. If it's later, they aren't. Pretty simple. But what if you don't have a watch? Don't worry — one Chicago McDonald's has you covered.

Every morning at the McDonald's across from Wrigley Field, a gigantic, robot egg cracks open to reveal a yolk that says "Fresh Eggs Daily." When breakfast time is over, it closes back up until the next morning. Unfortunately, it's not paired with a robotic cow that gets its throat cut to reveal "Fresh Beef Daily" in its spraying blood, but I guess that's less appealing than a cracking egg.

Wow! The writer is obviously a hippie! I wouldn't care if they slaughtered little baby calfs right in front of me, they make delicious Big Macs!

Though I prefer Burger King burgers over McDonalds usually I think we could do without the PETAesque "bad humor". I mean really, you vegans are going to be sorry when science allows us to hear the screams of each and every vegetable you consume for your daily nourishment.

If y'all are so sensitive hearing about your food, maybe you shouldn't eat it.
