Mad #468 (John Ficarra) - T.G.I. Fried-Day's Menu Parody Issue - August 2006
I was just getting ready to complain about twenty-four (24!) full-page advertisements in this issue until I saw the excellent menu parody by Dave Croatto at the end. This five-page article absolutely nails the obesity-enabling, restaurant-food offerings at most of the chain restaurants in this country. I have seen every one of these menu items with names that are only slightly less ridiculous than those created by Mr. Croatto. Here is my calorie-counter's nightmare of a meal:
"Ultimate Electric Rainbow Breezer
The Cheese Bowl
Pizza Supreme Salad-o Italiano
The Widowmaker
Chocolate Cake-Tastrophe!
Flying Blue Magic Dog's Mega-sucky Microbrew"
This meal should give me enough "Fried-Bucks" for "grazing rights on all other tables". [JAM 10/18/2014]
