McNuggets

I went to McDonalds the other night and ordered three double quarter-pounders with cheese, a diet coke, and some Chicken McNuggets for dessert.   I ate the burgers and started on the nuggets.  To my horror, I noticed that the dipping sauce I received with the nuggets was this yellow Arabian camel-mustard shit.  What the FUCK is going on here?

I am not sure about this, but I was under the assumption that if you did not specify the type of McNugget dipping sauce you wanted, you would get the default dipping sauce, which is, of course, barbeque.

What is wrong with the world?  When did barbeque sauce stop being the worldwide default dipping sauce selection for nuggets?  I know I live in the Middle East, but come on, if a country is industrialized enough to have a McDonalds, they should sure as hell make sure the stringent McDonalds' condiment rules are followed.

The McDonald's restaurants here are undoubtedly franchised, and normally, franchises are allowed a bit of latitude on the way they do business.  I normally have no problem with this, but changing the default dipping sauce to Arabian camel-mustard is stepping over the well defined condiment-armistice demarcation line.

I understand other countries will secretly change default sauce choices to adjust to the differing preferences of the local populace.  Hell, France uses mayonnaise on their fries for Pete's* sake.  

*Note:  Question:  Who the FUCK is Pete?

Answer:  Etymologists agree that "Pete" refers to St. Peter.

Question: Who is St. Peter

Answer:  SHUT UP!

However disgusting I think this is, I really have no problem with it.  France can enjoy their mayonnaise soaked potato products forever (or until they get invaded again and are forced to change).  I just feel that as an American, citizen of the greatest and most powerful country in the world, I should be able to go into any McDonald's on this planet, order nuggets and, without specifying, get barbeque dipping sauce.   There is no mistaking me for any nationality other than American*.  Determining my dipping sauce needs is not difficult.  The very fact that I did not clarify my specific dipping sauce requirements would indicate even to the most dim-witted of employees that I would like barbeque.

Question:  Isn't it true that people who live in Canada, Central America, and South America can consider themselves Americans?

Answer:  SHUT UP!

My whole point is, apparently some countries are beginning to think that this is ok.  We need to put a stop to this.  They have no excuse.  For some reason, Doha Qatar has started ignoring condiment law.  This is unacceptable.  If Doha, Qatar gets away with it, then other Middle-Eastern cities will start trying it.  If these cities are allowed to continue with radical condiment swapping, they might start thinking that they can govern themselves without U.S. interference.  What happens then?  Middle-Eastern political unrest?  Skyrocketing gas prices in the U.S.?  Hall getting back together with Oats?  The last thing we need is skyrocketing gas prices in the U.S and civil unrest in the Middle East.

Ok, maybe it would not all be that bad.  The world is way overdue for a worldwide Hall n' Oats reunion tour.
