Saycheese Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Fox News reported yesterday on a patent application (application no. 20060134271) filed by McDonald's for a device and unique method to make sandwiches (hot or cold) that are comprised of at least a "bread component" and a "sandwich garnish." The story is available on the Foxnews.com website, along with a link to the patent application. Of course, the application is in legalese, but it's still pretty funny. It defines the "bread component" of a sandwich as follows: As used herein, the terms "bread component" and "bread" are intended to have a very broad meaning and can be leavened or unleavened. "Bread component" and "bread" is intended to have a very broad meaning and includes, but is not limited to, for example, rolls, buns, sliced bread, croissants, bagels, pita bread, taco shells, and tortillas. Typically, a sandwich that has a bread component for its exterior or a portion thereof includes, but is not limited to, for example, a submarine or "sub" or "hero" sandwich, a hamburger or cheeseburger sandwich, a reuben sandwich, a hot dog sandwich, a wrap sandwich, and a burrito sandwich and can be eaten by hand and without any utensils. "Bread component" can refer to a bread product having several separate pieces like a hamburger bun or to one of those separate pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Horoscope Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Man cannot live by bread component alone. There must also be secret sauce and fried potatoes from Gaul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
