MCDONALD’S UNVEILS 'INVISIBLE BIG MAC' FOR CONSUMERS WHO JUST WANT THE FEELING OF HAVING EATEN REFUSE

The $10 'Ghost Meal' contains zero calories and zero mass but provides 100% of the regret associated with a midnight fast-food run.
""It tastes like nothing, yet somehow gives you a slight headache and a sense of profound spiritual emptiness," noted one early taste-tester." — KEY SLUDGE FINDING
McDonald's has officially entered the 'zero-waste' market with the launch of the 'Invisible Big Mac,' a product that consists entirely of air, sound waves, and the faint smell of industrial-grade grease. The meal is intended for the 'conscious consumer' who enjoys the ritual of going through a drive-thru but does not actually want the burden of 'digesting organic matter.'
"We found that our customers don't necessarily want the food; they want the 'McExperience,'" said marketing lead Ronald 'The Asset' McDuff. "By selling them a box containing literally nothing, we eliminate the calorie count while maintaining the exact same profit margin. It’s a win for the environment and a win for our shareholders' yacht funds."
The Invisible Big Mac comes in the standard cardboard box, but when opened, it releases a puff of 'Artificial Burger Steam' and a pre-recorded sound of a pickle hitting a window. Customers are encouraged to go through the motions of chewing and swallowing, which McDonald's claims stimulates the same 'guilt receptors' in the brain as a traditional meal.
Early reviews are praising the product for its 'unmatched lightness' and the fact that it doesn't stain the car seats. However, some traditionalists are complaining that the $9.99 price point is high for literally zero atoms. To address this, McDonald's has introduced the 'Combo Pack,' which includes an empty cup and a straw that only makes the 'slurping' sound when you reach the bottom of the air.
"It's the most honest thing they've ever sold," said one customer in Chicago. "Usually, I eat a Big Mac and feel like I've made a mistake. With this, I skip the eating part and go straight to the mistake. It really optimizes my shame-cycle."
