The burger that enraged an emigrant forum user
Just as Steven Seagull leaves Spain, McDonald's launches the Phillycheese, a burger he himself had been crying out for. He's absolutely livid: "Now I'm in a country whose menu is meh". The thread, in Burbuja.info's Guardería subforum, has generated 88 replies in 22 days, becoming a gauge of opinions on the chain's new offering.
What makes the Phillycheese so addictive?
The burger, with two beef patties, caramelised onion, pickles and a cheddar cheese sauce (which some consider "dripping"), has drawn mixed reactions. Steven Seagull praises it as "a marvel", but other users like ElCalvo tried it and conclude: "I would have enjoyed it more with double or triple cheddar". The meal deal costs around €8-10, but with app offers you can get it for €5 or less, according to the author himself.
Emigration, mechanics and existential doubts
The thread quickly drifts into the author's status, as he claims to have emigrated to a "first-world" European country to work as a mechanic. Part of the forum accuses him of lying: "They're at their bloody parents' house staring at Google Maps", says naipe opaco marfil. Others, like Nuucelar, defend him: "He really is abroad working as a mechanic". The controversy blends with the food debate, and the thread turns into a soap opera full of irony and acid humour.
The community's verdict
Beyond the burger, the thread reflects two camps: those who think it's a limited edition worth trying, and those who prefer the classic options or criticise the excess of sauce. A sceptical current also emerges about the truth of Steven Seagull's travels. The one fact nobody disputes: the Phillycheese is available in Spain for a limited time. If you're abroad, like the author, you'll just have to dream about it.
