McDonald’s Should Buy Burger King and Crown Ronald Supreme Ruler of All Burgers
Forget AI stocks. Forget the Fed. Forget oil prices. The single most bullish catalyst for the global economy would be McDonald’s buying Burger King and consolidating the entire burger-industrial complex under one golden crown.
Yes, I said it. Ronald McDonald needs to march into Burger King HQ, slap a Big Mac on the conference table, and say, “Your flame-broiled days are over, pal. We’re doing this my way.”
The War Is Over. Long Live the Clown.
The “Burger Wars” have dragged on for decades — Big Mac vs. Whopper, Fry vs. Slightly More Depressing Fry — and we’re all tired. It’s time for a winner.
McDonald’s acquiring Burger King would be the culinary equivalent of the Cold War ending. No more back-and-forth discounting battles, no more limited-time-only gimmicks. Just one omnipotent burger empire. Imagine the combined might of Grimace and the King — together they could probably overthrow a small country.
The Menu Synergy Would Be Absolute Chaos
This is where the magic happens.
-
The McWhopper finally becomes real — no more marketing stunts, no more begging.
-
Onion Rings + McNuggets in the same box — a crime against cholesterol, but a win for humanity.
-
McFlame-Broiled Double Quarter Pounder: Because why not have your heart attack with grill marks?
-
Filet-O-King: No one would order it, but the name alone would move the stock price.
And for dessert? A Shamrock Shake permanently available year-round because McDonald’s now controls time itself.
The Branding Opportunities Are Wild
Ronald McDonald and the Burger King would become the odd-couple sitcom we didn’t know we needed. Commercials practically write themselves:
-
Ronald teaches the King how to smile without terrifying children.
-
The King teaches Ronald how to broil a patty while wearing 40 pounds of velvet.
-
Together they beat up the Hamburglar in an alley behind a Wendy’s.
This would be bigger than the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Imagine the meme economy — absolutely booming.
Monopoly Power? Call It Fry-Pec.
The combined company would control so many potatoes that Idaho might as well join the corporate board. Forget OPEC. Forget the Fed. We’d have Fry-PEC, a cartel of waffle fries, hash browns, and curly fries that could set global potato prices.
Burger King’s fries, meanwhile, would be demoted to “backup fries” — used strictly for Happy Meal stuffing or perhaps repurposed as eco-friendly packing peanuts.
The Ripple Effects Would Be Beautiful Chaos
You think the markets would be calm after this? No chance. Taco Bell would immediately announce a “strategic combination” with Pizza Hut, KFC, and probably NASA to launch a Space Chalupa program. Subway would panic-buy every sandwich shop in America, then still fail to fix its bread. Five Guys stock (if it ever IPOs) would double just out of sheer meme sympathy.
Shareholder Value, Baby
Sure, antitrust lawyers would faint, politicians would have hearings, and someone would scream “monopoly!” But have you seen McDonald’s margins? Imagine those margins plus Whopper sales. This deal would be so accretive analysts would have to invent a new metric: Earnings Per Fry (EPF).
I Mean Come On, The Market Deserves This
McDonald’s buying Burger King isn’t just a corporate transaction. It’s a cultural reset. A moonshot. The most chaotic good thing that could happen to the stock market since GameStop went to the moon.
Bottom line: Ronald McDonald should buy Burger King, wear the crown, and declare himself Supreme Ruler of All Burgers. Not because it’s smart — because it’s fun. And maybe, just maybe, that’s what capitalism needs right now: a little bit of stupid fun.
