9 Times The Simpsons Predicted The Future
7. The Good Morning Burger
The Good Morning Burger features in a very brief TV spot, describing it thus: "We take 18 ounces of sizzling ground beef, and soak it in rich creamery butter, then we top it off with bacon, ham and a fried egg". This level of gastronomical extravagance was once so fanciful that people used to actually laugh at it.
Now, you'd probably feel short-changed if your burger features fewer than six things piled on top of each other. The burger is a side show. Granted, there's 18 ounces of the Good Morning Burger, but the fundamental fact of a burger having three types of meet and an egg on it is something we've all got used to over the years.
Bizarrely, none of the big burger giants research and development departments have managed to engineer a way of fitting bacon, ham and a fried egg on top of a burger patty, but they have come very, very close indeed. In 2010, McDonalds introduced a successor to the fondly-munched Moon Burger - the Great Moon Burger - which featured a beef patty, bacon, a fried egg, and a sauce billed as tomato mayonnaise. Sadly, it was only available in Japan. Perhaps it was just too cromulent for our Western palates.
