Kiwiburger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kiwiburger was a menu item once sold at McDonald's restaurants in New Zealand.
The famous-in-New Zealand ad for the Kiwiburger had an unforgettable song, which was printed on the box for some time:
"Kiwis love, hot pools, rugby balls, McDonald's, snapper schools, world peace, woolly fleece, Ronald and raising beasts, chilly bins, cricket wins, fast skis, golf tees, silver ferns, kauri trees, Kiwiburger, love one please. Cos we love All Blacks, thermal dacks, egg and cheese, walking tracks, beef pattie, marching girls, tomato, lettuce, paua shells, gumboots, punga shoots, floppy hats and kiwifruits, beetroot, buzzybees, moggy cats and cabbage trees, onions, kakapos, kia-oras, cheerios, jandals, sandals, ketchup, Coromandels, swandri's, butterflies, mustard, fishing flies, hokey-pokey, Maori haka, Kiwiburger, that's our tucker..."
McDonald's stopped producing the Kiwiburger due to lack of profit (it was expensive to produce). The cost was because of the ingredients included in the burger. The burger had many ingredients that were not a part of any other product (beetroot for example), and the egg that went into the burger had to be cooked on a special grill which impeded operations (because of the temperature and timing).
McDonald's employees still get requests for the Kiwiburger even though it has not been a part of the national menu for many years.
