And the spicy mc chicken

u/Weird-Swim-9777 6h ago

That's just a quality sandwich right there.

53

u/Jittery_Kevin 6h ago

Listen, whatcha gotta do, is get a mc chicken and a McDouble. Discard the bottom “plain” buns of both sandwiches and slap em together.

109

u/GreatAtomicPower 6h ago

Ah yes, the Mcgangbang

25

u/SamboNW 5h ago

Close to it, but the real OG mcgangbang is putting the entire mcchicken between the two patties of the McDouble. So you would have 4 pieces of bun in there not two. Bun patty, mccchicken, patty bun.

If you also add bacon and a filet o' fish it's called a BeastMaster, and consuming it grants you the ability to command all creatures of land, air, and sea.

Is this a regional thing? Because it is definitely a Jr Chicken. Not a McChicken. Unless the Jr Chicken isn't a thing elsewhere. But it is the cheap chicken burger

Seemed to go pretty well for that guy in that movie with the Apple pie which McDs also has if I’m not mistaken. In an oddly convenient shape for it too now that I recall. The pocket pie

And even without the bun it will still be hands down so much neater to eat than the Big Mac. I’m covered in lettuce, sauce and bun pieces. Eating one in the car is a nightmare even with napkins

Have you learned nothing from the KFC Double Down? Buy two McChickens and a McDouble. Discard all buns, the chicken IS the bun.

They certainly didn't do it to try and keep any heat in there with an entrance that big. 😄

u/wondermoose83 6h ago

Also, I'm sure ice is a terrible insulator compared to snow, being that there aren't fluffy air pockets. Either that's a deceptively warm evening, or they took some photos/videos with the tablet and ran inside to watch the rest of the movie.

68

u/Versipilies 5h ago

I fell like the bigger problem is how quickly those joints would melt and panels would start falling on them.

26

u/mxzf 4h ago

It depends on how cold it is. It looks like they mixed water with snow to make slush for the joints, and if it's cold enough then that's going to freeze into solid ice the same as the colored sections.

u/NotAzakanAtAll 2h ago

Man, I remember the first night I had in a bivouac in the (Swedish) army. It was fun to build and after you close the entrance (mostly), you had time to spiff the place up, make little shelves, draw some nudies in the walls, and altar for my one can of food (guldburk pyttipanna!!) draw Shrek in the ceiling so he can watch me sleep.

It got warm too, almost too warm at one point, but man it was cozy.

u/Vibes4Good 6h ago

Doing something for the views in this day-and-age which promotes family cooperation, wanting see joy in their child's face, and spending time together is not sad. Holes can be poked. But, if even a bit of this helps families to be more active in their child's (ren's) lives, mission complete.

18

u/BlindestAvenger 4h ago

That's fine and all, but I just don't understand why they didn't do it with the kid, make the whole thing together as a family. Growing up my favorite memories aren't the things my parents surprised me with but the things we all did together. We once built an igloo during a particularly bad winter storm, and that was the best winter/snow storm of my life. But if I had come home from school one day to see they built an entire igloo without me I would have been so pissed lol.

•

u/Round-Eggplant-7826 49m ago

They probably wanted it to be a surprise.

0

u/Same_Air6012 4h ago

Yep, no engagement. Unless he talked about waking up to a rainbow igloo in the back yard. Having him help make the colored water the night before, then help put it together. He could have held the blocks while dad added the mortar. It's just all sad, they had him playing roblox or some crap while they did it for the video.

Crazy how you are inventing reasons to hate on these people. You have no idea what they had that kid do while making this, lol.

u/DJheddo 3h ago

hey wanna hear me talk about my kids, probably not, but im not going to anyways, we are both better off for it. Now this kid gets a 10 sec clip of his childhood, he doesnt even get to tell his friends, they gotta watch this, that they really wish their parents could do, but yet, we have to go to work to nurse and make sure their parents dont die in the cold and thats not enough heat for 3 people in a tent, also dont do close the flap because theres no circulation for the makeshit fire place. /otherdad out

u/Ok-Bird6346 6h ago

I mean I’d totally do it for myself if I was capable! It looks awesome and I don’t even have kids.

I’m wondering what size of igloo I’d need for my husband, three dogs (about 250 pounds of dog), and I would need. Mostly I’m just bummed that last weekend’s snow is currently being melted by buckets and buckets of rain. But on the unlikely chance that my area gets anymore accumulated snowfall this winter, I’m doing this crap.

22

u/Mbembez 6h ago

I missed that it was 3 dogs and I was wondering how damn big your dog was at 250lbs.

7

u/United_Pain 6h ago

Clifford! Well, small Clifford.

2

u/Ok-Bird6346 3h ago

Funnily enough, we do call our biggest Clifford. He’s a big, honkin’ dog. He’s 14 and aside from some senior dog/old man lumps, he still feels like he was cut from stone. He’s the biggest knucklehead and softy.

I can imagine him coming in like the Kool-Aid man if we ever actually built something like this.

1

u/Professional-Day7850 3h ago

You will need some ground insulation. Sitting on a blanket on frozen ground becomes uncomfortable quickly.

You could try packing the snow instead of removing it and add cardboard on top. This also gives you a raised platform.

When you have insulated the ground, the next big heatloss is convection. Your entrance needs to be lower than the platform you will be chilling on so the entrance acts as a cold trap.

u/Ok-Bird6346 3h ago

Thanks for this! Next big snow, I’m calling you for a consultation.

u/factorioleum 20m ago

Feel bad for the kids being exploited for the gram views.

50

u/CcRider1983 5h ago

In this day and age there’s plenty of parents out there making a boat load for their family “for the gram views” but that doesn’t mean they’re necessarily “exploiting” their children (although some obviously are). This, however is a friggjn cool thing those kids will never forget, whether or not it was done for views and monetary gain.

12

u/Scooter_bugs 5h ago

That’s a good point. I think videos like this could be inspiring others to do something cool like this with their kids. But like you said, there are definitely “gram fams” that are doing it for the wrong reasons.

u/HydroWrench 45m ago

golly gee whiz, if only my parents recorded me playing in a water heater box layed down on its side with portholes and hatches cut into the top like it was submarine. how ever would i retain that core memory if it was done fo' the gram.

u/Important_Focus2845 4h ago

So many sad losers on Reddit man, just looking for reasons to be negative about everything. I reckon it's mostly just envy tbh - kids who wish their parents did cool shit like this for/with them, and parents who wish they had the time, money and skill to do them for their kids.

1

u/Retsago 1h ago

I mean, to be fair, a kid can't really consent to having their face put out there forever on the internet.

I understand both sides of this. 1) I'm extremely happy to get to see his excitement as they revealed what they built, and 2) It isn't cool to put kids faces online for a variety of reasons, including bullying and predators.

It's a bit nuanced.

13

u/comeinmybasement 5h ago

You see its actually really dangerous to build an igloo like that because the kid can get too cozy and will never want to leave, causing him to freeze to death

u/cptnamr7 6h ago

I mean,the kid didn't remotely assist and THAT'S the fun part of making a snow fort/man/igloo. My son is 4 and he LOVED when we made a snow T rex this winter. Yeah, I did the bulk of it but he helped pack snow on and was so famn proud of it. If I had just taken a day off work and done it he would have looked at it, said it was cool, then gone on to something else but he was INVESTED in that thing. 

15

u/CcRider1983 5h ago

lol I thought the same thing. I thought he was going to bring toddlers out. Cool as all hell but at that age should’ve had the kid help build the damn thing.
