The McGangBang: a McChicken Sandwich Inside a Double Cheeseburger [a chronicle]

The McGangBang ranks up there in the holy pantheon of WTF. It's a sandwich made from a double cheeseburger and a McChicken sandwich — where you put an entire McChicken sandwich inside a double cheeseburger. It's a creative manipulation of existing menu items, and an exercise in frugality: taking two items off of the Dollar Menu and creating an entirely new sandwich for a total of $2.16. Truly, it's a sandwich that's more than the sum of its parts.

The naming, of course, is somewhat obscene — "gangbang" is defined as "sexual intercourse with multiple partners in turn or at the same time." It's illicit in more ways than one — chicken and beef most definitely make for an unnatural pairing.

In some locations, the McGangBang appears to have become part of the McDonald's employee lexicon — explanation is unnecessary — they know how to make it, much like the off-the-menu items at In-N-Out.

An oft-repeated quote from user DasKosmischeVonUT on the VWVortex forums sums it up:

It's kind of like having a threesome with two ugly chicks. While it's happening you're stoked, because hey threesome!!! But once you're finished it kinda sinks in about what you've done.

We just had to do some research — we searched high and low, with Google, messageboards, YouTube, Flickr, and Twitter. Its origins are elusive — even how it's made varies — but what we do know is that it dates back to at least 2006.

Looks pretty nasty.

Would be so funny seeing someone order it. "Yeah, can I get a McGangBang, a small fries and a soda?"

**Gonzo** · 11-25-2012, 07:43 AM

I'm hungry

**King Joseus** · 11-25-2012, 07:48 AM

Now I want a McChicken.

**Ben** · 11-25-2012, 08:31 AM

I'd destroy that thing right now. Steak & ale pie with chips, peas and extra gravy will have to do.

Had one. Flavors don't mix well. The ketchup from the cheeseburger and the tartar from the McChicken are polar opposites.

Just eat them separately. Or eat double McChicken. Way better.
