What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMcDonald's is pulling some items off its menus tomorrow, and fans online are begging the chain to bring back a burger they call the best ever.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSkip is outside one this morning.

  3. Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentHank, I'm standing in the McDonald's parking lot at seven in the morning, and the mood here is somber.

  4. Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentThe menu board behind me glows like a shrine.

  5. Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentThe Sun reports the chain is cutting items tomorrow, and the fans who want that best ever burger back have exactly one day left to make their case.

  6. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOne day's notice.

  7. Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentThat's what makes this so painful.

  8. Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentThe drive-thru line wrapped around the building, and the cashier is greeting every car with a quiet, 'Sorry for your loss.'

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIs anyone out there actually ordering the burger?

  10. Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentI'm told a man ordered a large fries and a moment of silence, and the cashier gave him the fries. Hank, I know a story like this belongs on a desk with a view.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThank you, Skip. Does the company say why these items are going?

  12. Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentThe data I have doesn't say, Hank. It's unclear.

  13. Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentI'd guess the company calls it a menu update, Hank, and the fans are calling it tomorrow.

  14. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo a burger people loved gets one day, and the notice reads like a weather alert. Skip, we got it.

  15. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe burger gets one day's notice, and you get a seven a.m. parking lot. Rex, you're up.
