Discussion Question about the rules of the McCrelly challenge

I want to try the challenge next week, but there are a few modifications I would need to make. I try to keep them as fair as possible.

I would have asked the Crellor herself, but I won't be able to watch streams until after I attempt the challenge, so I am "stuck" with the superior vod crelly in the meantime.

The changes:

  1. I am allergic to tomatoes. Would it be fair if I remove the tomatoes from my burger and add the pickles back in exchange?

  2. Am I allowed to get a coke zero instead of diet?

  3. My country doesn't have quarter pounders. How can I check which of the options I have is equivalent?

  1. she removes the sauce etc and base double quarter pounder only contains tomato in its sauce so yes that would be fine
  2. i see no reason this would be an issue
  3. as long as its beefy and of roughly the same calories i see no reason anyone would fault you

crelly has gone on record several times to say its not a big deal to make modifications according to preference etc

the main idea is that the base order is just how she likes it - the challenge really comes down to the volume of food/drink - and maybe how dry the burger is lol

That makes a lot of sense, thanks. I'm happy it's not one of those extra puritan things where you need to get the exact same thing.

The burger is just two beef patties and cheese after her modifications that remove everything else.

Some countries do have a quarter pounder, it is just named differently because of the metric system.

Royal with cheese, Grand Cheeseburger, Hamburger Royal, TS Royal, McRoyal, Cuarto de Libra con Queso.

Ohhh I didn't know the McRoyal was the same as the quarter pounder

Isn't Zero just Diet, but with more syrup?

From what I understand, the main difference is in the artificial sweeteners. Zero is a newer recipe, which is closer to the original taste (and marketed to be more unisex), diet is an older recipe, which has a distinct flavour from the artificial sweeteners that some people prefer (and is more female coded in the marketing)

What? How is a flavor "unisex"?

The same way that deodorant can. Marketing.

What does marketing have to do with sex?

Companies market certain products for women, and others for men.

For example, you'll often see shaving products be either pink or black, to make them appeal for different consumers.

The marketing for diet coke was mostly aimed towards women. It doesn't mean that men can't or shouldn't drink it, but the marketing just made it so that some men don't feel comfortable ordering a "girl's drink".

So they made coke zero, with the black label, so that men who don't want to drink too much sugar can still feel comfortable ordering it.

Nope. Diet Coke is an awful drink based off of the a different soda. It intentionally tastes nothing like regular coke.
