What BBN said about it
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMoving on to lighter fare: the Cincinnati Enquirer reports Disney villains may appear on McDonald's Boo Buckets when they return in twenty twenty-six.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorVillains on a bucket! I'm giving it a nine, with notes of warm plastic, a whisper of fry grease and a finish like a cape.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA cape has a finish?
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIt does. I'd call it a long, dramatic swoosh, and it pairs well with a small fries.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI give it a seven.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's a bucket, and you can't eat a bucket. My lunch today was a granola bar from a drawer, and it was older than the intern.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMine was three samples from the grocery store and one lap back for a fourth.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorChat, what is the saddest lunch you've eaten at your desk?
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTen. Perfect score for tragedy.
