Have you heard something from a trusted source that was so wild it still required additional research before you’d believe it? Well…have you heard the story of how McDonald’s did an “extreme makeover” on a vegetable that would make not only Ty Pennington jealous, but also Willy Wonka. During a private event in November 2014, the CEO was asked a question regarding what the company was doing to get kids to eat healthier. He stated that McDonald’s had successfully developed broccoli that tasted like bubble gum, but the foodtech masterpiece never reached Happy Meals because children were allegedly confused by the taste. So, where does this stack up against other McDonald’s missteps like the sketchy pineapple for buns Hula Burger or them selling their 90% stake in Chipotle 18 years ago because they wouldn’t serve breakfast or add drive throughs?
