MCDONALD'S MCCRISPY GAMING CHAIR HAS A FRY HOLDER AND SANDWICH WARMER

The UK arm of McDonald's is giving away a gaming chair to celebrate its new
"game-changing" chicken burger, the McCrispy. And we're not sure if we're lovin'
it.

The giveaway was announced on McDonald's UK's Facebook page with a video
showcasing the yellow and black racing-style design, as well as garish/gimmicky
additions such as a fry holder, a "hot box to keep your McCrispy warm during
game-play" a stain proof treatment (which this will need if you're eating greasy
food while sitting in it) and slots for two of your favorite dips.



It's unclear what partners McDonald's UK worked with to create a chair fit for
Mayor McCheese. McDonald's UK and its public relations firm for the contest
didn't respond to requests for comments about the McCrispy gaming chair in time
for publication. We'll update if we hear back.

People in England, Scotland and Wales can enter on the McDonald's Facebook page
with the announcement video. Entries will close on November 13 at 11:59 p.m.
GMT.

The chair appears to be the only one given away, though The Gamer suggests three
more exist and were given to influencers. The terms and conditions for the
contest lists just a single grand prize for the chair, while two runner-ups will
receive a McCrispy Neon Light. So if you win, make sure the Hamburglar doesn't
run away with it; you won't get another one. The terms state that "there is no
cash alternative to the prize," suggesting that it is, indeed, priceless.





We have lots of questions. Does the chair needs to be plugged in to keep the
sandwich warmer operating? And why would anyone pick anything other than ketchup
to dip their fries in? As long as the chair works better than McDonald's ice
cream machines here in the U.S., it should be fine.

But this is far from the first time we've seen a fast-food restaurant get
involved in the gaming space. KFC and Cooler Master made the KFConsole, a PC
based on the Intel NUC compute element which was delayed and then never released
back in 2020. A Wendy's-themed Super Smash Bros. level went semi-viral back in
2019 and, well, we're all better off forgetting Burger King's attempt at making
games like Sneak King on the Xbox 360.

Heck, this arguably isn't even the weirdest gaming chair out there. That honor
still goes to Gigabyte's inflatable recliner.

A winner will be selected within seven days of the end of the entry period. We
imagine that whatever the winner eats in this chair will be a happy meal,
indeed.

   There was a McDonald’s sponsored game in the game gear. Global gladiators or
   something like that?

   they just need to make sure to say that the fry warmer will add 10 fps to
   your game and then mass produce them. throw in a free pair of "gaming socks"
   and watch the profits for the quarter triple!!!

   McDonalds fries are only good when they're fresh & hot. After that, they just
   get soggy and gross. Second best is to reheat them in a toaster oven, but at
   that point they're merely adequate.
   
   That said, I stopped eating fries about 10 years ago. Entirely unnecessary
   carbs and sodium.

   Yes, but some foods are worse than others. I always remember that dude from

   healthy enough, but he mentioned that he doesn't...
