Cheeseburger
Extinction

A movement to bring back
the double cheeseburger at
McDonald's drive-in restaurants

McDonald's has taken the
double cheeseburger off the
menu and will soon replace it
with the quarter-pound sirloin.
A five-member committee is
currently organizing the
campaign in the Charlottesville
area. The committee said "the
American public may lose their
taste thrill if the double
cheeseburger goes by the
boards."
The committee said "if the
quarter-pound sirloin idea goes
through, we're afraid that we
might not get change back
from our dollar."
Larry McCarthy, McDonald's
manager at Barracks Road said
that he has not received any
information regarding the
removal of the

quarter-pound hamburger will
be on sale beginning sometime
in the first part of this month,"
he concluded.
The committee, hoping "to
unite the country under a
common cause," wants to gain
some 5000 signatures on their
petitions in the Charlottesville
area, and ultimately gain
national media coverage.
Petition bearers will be
canvassing throughout the area
within the next few days and

double cheeseburger reinstated
on the menu are invited to join
the cause. Those who are
interested are asked to call
