I couldn't find a photo of an actual Daily Double, so, instead, enjoy this picture of Ronald McDonald that couldn't be any creepier if he were visibly aroused.
To me, McDonald’s is the bottom of the fast food barrel. There is nothing they serve that I don’t believe another chain does better. Hamburgers? Wendy’s trounces ‘em. Chicken? If you don’t immediately think of Chick-fil-A to service that need, then go shit in your hat. Dessert? When it comes to insuring I’m diabetic by 35, Burger King is the only “restaurant” I trust to get the job done. Which makes what I’m about to say all the more strange: McDonald’s Daily Double is the best fast food hamburger I’ve had in a while.
I feel the need to make clear that the Daily Double certainly isn't on par with this.
Before I continue, I should specify that I live on the East Coast, which means no In-N-Out Burger, hence the reason I’m even referring to McDonald’s as edible. If I did have daily access to In-N-Out, I’d eat nothing else and would be dead inside of four months. OH WAIT, I WOULDN’T, BECAUSE IN-N-OUT IS MADE FROM THE HERD OF HELIOS HIMSELF AND INGESTING IT ONLY MAKES YOU THINNER WHILST ENLARGING YOUR SEX ORGANS. Ironically, though, it’s the similarities to In-N-Out that make me enjoy the Daily Double. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an extremely poor man’s take on an In-N-Out burger, but any double cheeseburger with mayo, lettuce and a tomato (which I disgustingly count as a serving of vegetables) smushed on top, combined with a $1.99 price tag, actually gets the job done.
Know why you don't see the Hamburglar anymore? He was shot outside a Laredo McDonald's in an attempted robbery. And now you know the rest of the story.
I award the Daily Double three-out-of-four clogged arteries. Unlike Taco Bell’s Triple Steak Stack, it doesn’t put on airs about what it is. For two bucks, you’re getting a workhorse burger that transcends the usual bland McDonald’s taste and manages to satisfy. Godspeed, little burger.
Okay, there was one photo of a McDonald's Daily Double I found online, but it was snapped with all the artistry of a coroner photographing a corpse on the slab and I didn't want to turn anyone off to what I feel is a decent burger. Anyhow, here it is.

Five guys man. .Five guys.
Five guys is not $1.99.
big papa is talking about bottom of the barrel fast food. let’s not get fancy here!
I didn’t watch the episode or read your article. They haven’t had a good episode in a while, so your title has given me hope. If you let me down, I’m going to kill you. Cyber bullying in full effect, mofo.
