McDonald's 10 lb. Bags of Ice Contain Less Than 7 lbs.

Did you know McDonald's sold bags of ice? It seems like ice-vending is just the start of that slippery slope down into the pit of conveniencestoredom, presaging the horrific day when you can buy McNuggets and deodorant at the same place.

Anyway, this guy Brad knew McDonald's sold bags of ice, and for some reason he was in desperate need of a large amount of ice (I suspect some sort of organ theft). Brad, being crafty, remembered seeing that his local McDonald's was selling 10 lb. bags of ice for a buck. In Brad's words:

What a great deal! I thought, so I took myself there, and picked up 5
bags... But when I got home, I thought... No way these are 10 lbs a piece. Henceforth, I grabbed my scale, weighed myself without, then with one bag of ice that was unopened and filled to the max. Guess what... 6.2 lbs.

Woah. Brad was TAKEN for 3.8 lbs of frozen water. Now, this is clearly a ripoff, but I'm afraid there's a catch. If you look on the bag of ice (pictured) you see right below the bold claim of "10 LBS" it says "APPROXIMATELY." Granted, a difference of 38% pushes the bounds on what "approximately" can apply to, but, in general, this seems like a promising tack for all of McDonald's labeling. "Approximately 100% Beef!" sure makes a great tagline, and one far easier to live up to, what with all the delicious horses in the world going to waste.

So, let this be a warning to anyone buying ice from McDonald's: stop paying for empty, albeit cold, air! Demand crushed ice, or, even better, just fill the bag up with water and freeze it into a huge solid block.

I had no clue Mcdonalds sold ice haha. Weird.

I've never heard of McDonald's selling ice, but in high school when we'd go camping on weekends we'd just cruise in with our coolers and get them to fill them for free... Guess those were the perks of being 16 and knowing everyone who worked at McDick's.

Re: McDonald's 10 lb. Bags of Ice Contain Less Than 7 lbs.

oh boo hu, your getting a bag of ice for a buck. Thats a lot cheaper than getting ice at a gas station or convinence store. Geez, people got way to much time on their hands to be giving a shit about ice. Plus it also says that you should demand crushed ice. I used to work at Mcdonalds, they dont sell crushed ice, only cubes.

Is it really that big of a fucking deal? It's a dollar for a whole bag...somebody's taking the word recession a little too harshly.

This is pretty funny considering that I've always thought of McDonald's as being 12 pounds of shit in a 10 pound bag.

Wow at you guys for missing the point.....

When you say something is 10 pounds and it's not even close, it leads one to wonder how inaccurate everything else is that they sell.

You're not suggesting that a quarter pounder might be less than a quarter of a pound are you? Because if so I won't know what to believe anymore.

Re: McDonald's 10 lb. Bags of Ice Contain Less Than 7 lbs.

well i work for McD's (ok hold up remember im 16 and still at school so stop laughing) and we certainly don't sell ice in the UK.

To answer your question Tommya 1/4 pounder will be no where near a 1/4 of a pound once cooked.
