They forgot to dunk the salad in blue food colourant.

And no brown-ish sauce--I'm disappointed.

Considering it's a marketing burger that was launched in 2018:

a) It has nothing to do with ukraine (notice no yellow/blue, too)

b) You did not see it while driving in Apr. 2022, so you got it from the Internet, which means you're most probably aware of a) but decided to go for a clickbait

Thanks for the information.

I didn't live in Norway in 2018, and that burger wasn't advertised where I leved in 2018 (Central Europe). Curiously, albeit in on sidenote, it's apparently not marketed there this spring either.

re a) I was aware of that, and it's perhaps a bit hard to do yellow/blue on something that should look appealing (?) and tasty.

re b) I did, and I followed up on the webs because I was driving, hence unable to take a pic.

I'm among a very small number of people who might associate that particular name with the Ukrainian ultra-nationalist et al., sure, but keep in mind that Bandera has a different ring to it today, as opposed to four years ago, to say nothing about the high saturation of indiscriminate pro-Ukraine and 'the Azov Regt.-as-freedom-fighters' tropes in legacy media.

This is why I brought it up.

Living in the Southwest part of the U.S. I immediately understood that they are trying to sell you a Americanized version of Mexican food with the ingredients ‘chedarost, nachos, salat, guacamole og Pico de Gallo-saus’. The marketing departments of multi-national companies are Not staffed with the greatest minds, or even with people who think to do research about the area where they are trying to sell their products ...apparently. Is American/Mexican food popular in Norway?

I thought so as well--still, I maintain that the choice of words at the present moment is, well, a rather unsavoury one.

Re your food popularity question: you bet, Friday is 'Taco Night' over here…

LMAO. Sure, they should have run an Internet search, but they didn't. Some of their customers (and non-customers seeing the ad) will run it, though, and it may just change their minds a teeny, tiny bit about what's going on in Ukraine right now.

Ha, so I thought--I also wrote an email to McD's enquiring about the background. If I get a reply, I'll update the above.

Bandera is spanish for flag or banner/standard. According to the internet anyway.

Speaking of Spanish, your quip reminds me of that car named 'Pajero' (by Mitsubishi), which might mean a number of things, incl. 'wanker', and the latter is the reason it was marketed as 'Montero' in the Spanish-speaking world.

As I said above, it could all be a misunderstanding on my part.

I see your Pajero and raise you one Mazda LaPuta.
