Everyone knows what a Big Mac is, the most known hamburger in the United states of America. And tonight, my Big Mac virginity was taken.
It was almost 9:30 pm, driving a friend back to town after cruisin around at the local hill. We pulled into the Mcdonalds ready to get the same old order of 2 Mcdoubles and a large drink. While waiting in line, carefully inspecting the new back lit menu, i saw the ad for buy one Big Mac, get the second for the price of yesterdays temperature. A very tempting offer seeing as yesterdays temperature was a brisk 22 degrees Fahrenheit. I asked my friend Eric if he wanted to buy the first one, which meant that i could order mine for a mere 22 cents. The deal was done.
I meandered over to the fountain where i filled up my drink with mellow yellow and fruit punch. We sat down in our favorite corner booth, where we could keep an eye on everything happening in the dining area. All was quiet, all was still, I sat; afraid that somehow this eating experience was going to be traumatic, wondering if perhaps i couldn't handle the Big Mac. It was time.
Delicately i unwrapped my 22 cents of bun, burger, pickle, cheese and other wonderful things. Then, there was nothing left between me and my first ever Big Mac, except the terror of what it would be like my first time.
I cant remember the first bite. It was a blur... I only remember the wonderful feeling that ensued after. A mixture of happiness, and fear scattered through my brain. The feeling was tremendous. I sucked down that burger in seconds. Too quick to even take a drink between bites. And all of the sudden, as quick as it started, it was over. Gone was the burger, along with it my Big Mac Virginity.
I am now drowned in a great deal of shame. Should I have payed the full price for the Big Mac? 22 cents makes me feel as if i was buying a cheap hooker. Maybe I didn't even lose it. Maybe i did. I will take a break. I realize that i wasn't ready for this and i need to mature before i attempt it again...
Please tell me that i am not the only one
