You Want Fries With That?

.
It is amazing the pictures you find online when poking around. Some days I find some and save them for later. I don't know the story behind this particular contraption or even where I found the picture since it was several months ago.

It did made me shake my head and chuckle too. It was just too fugly not to share.




I am hoping this is just a novelty for parades and such. I really don't know how you could steer it.


Although...... if one were to ride/drive it, I think they'd need to do it dressed as the Hamburglar.

Now that would complete the picture, ridiculous as it may be. If you're going to go for that look, take it all the way baby.

    Looks like you open the top bun to climb IN. Then you close it and let have of yourself "stick" outside. You have the handlebars to steer and presumably the foot controls to be used underneath. and if you get hungry you just eat your ride . . .

    1. I think you are correct, that the top half of your body would stick out.

      And as you drive down the street how many people will yell: "Nice buns!"

    1. Hmmmmm would you go barefoot, or crocs?

      I think you might just relish going without shoes on the burger bike.

  3. I wonder if you could get it with extra pickles?!

    You are definitely right it is FUGLY. I wonder if it is actually a scooter under there or small bike. What type of gear does one wear when riding a hamburger? I seem to have an intense craving for McDonalds now......

    1. mmmmm extra pickles.

      I dunno what kind of motor is under it, you can't really see much, could be a pedal bike for all we know, but judging by the front wheel and tire I think scooter or motorcycle.

  4. It definitely appears to be a burger to go. And, it appears to be chopped.

    1. Burger to go...... I should have used that as a title.

  5. So, how pathetic is it that it's 8:13, I'm stuck in the office, about to leave, I check the blog, notice your post, can't resist, read it, and now find myself salivating!!

    Did you notice the drive-in mod: a take-out tray above the headlight? Now that's practical! Ever take your bike through a McDonalds drive-through? I did once. That tray would be a real asset.

    1. Stuck in the office late, that is no fun.

      Sorry to make you hungry. I did notice the take out tray, I thought it was too funny.

    1. Soggy buns, now that is no fun at all........

      Mmmmm poutine. I miss poutine. We used to get it in BC when we lived there.

  7. Poutine! One of the things I look forward to when passing through Canada.

    I do like the drive through mod though I think I'll pass on the rest...

    1. Between you and V-Star lady I am having a poutine craving now.

      Haven't had any since we left BC. Of course, I don't think I could find vegan cheese curds.......

    1. It is a sight to behold isn't it. Kind of makes the eyes hurt.

      I applaud the creativity, but at the same time I think it is so fugly. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.

    1. I think you are right, it would be a great party wagon. Parties and parades it is perfect for.

  10. I think this ride looks like a parade waiting to happen! I bet it would be fun to putt around town in. Problem with that is... you'll be like the Pied Piper with a trail of little kids screaming after ya for their Happy Meals! lol!

    and BTW... what is poutine?

    1. I think you are correct, there would be a trail of kids following it.

      Poutine is a dish consisting of French fries topped with cheese curds and gravy. Very popular in Canada, especially back east.
