- I know what grill means. I was just joking. Actually the McDLT didn't
- always need to be special made, sometimes it was in the special
- McWarmer/McCooler (to keep the hot side hot and the cold side cold :-)

- I doubt this. McDonalds is still a corporation and while the new "safe"
- packaging is neat, I don't really believe that it was the cause of
- removing the McDLT from the menu. McD's could have wrapped the hot side
- and cold side seperate or maybe the McResearchers would have had a better
- solution. I do agree to the demand thing though. Most McD's didn't have
- any pre-made (resulting in the wait I mentioned). Really too bad, becuase
- I really liked them.

-
- It has been a while since it first came out, but I remember the nutrition
- hand-out (ask for one from the manager of your nearest McD's) mentioned
- kelp, which to me (and Mr. Webster) is seaweed. I don't mind kelp (as
- mentioned in my original article), just not in a burger.
