I think that calling it a bakery-*style* bun just highlights the difference between McDonald’s and real food. If it were a bun, that’s fine. The use of the word *style* implies that it isn’t a bakery bun, but an imitation of one. By extension, it implies that the bakery-style bun isn’t an actual foodstuff, but an imitation of one. Thankfully for McDonald’s, I doubt that most people are bothered by this.

Just another one of those marketingspeak phrases that drives me bonkers because it means, in essence, nothing. Somehow throwing the word “bakery” in there seems to give the burger cachet, but — please — it’s still a fast-food patty on a roll, right?

I’m with you on this one.

Feh.

None of the cheap chopped up iceburg stuff found in McChicken, Big Mac and other typical McD burgers.
