Alphabet Google: The Cheese Placement Revolution
November 4, 2017
I noted an article with the mouth watering title “Google Makes the Android Burger a Reality for Its Employees.” The main point of the write up strikes me as the pickle on top of a Google management decision; to wit:
… the company is serving its employees with a burger assembled in a similar order to the one depicted in its emoji.
When I was 16 years old, the owner of the root beer stand at which I worked taught me how to assemble a cheeseburger. The idea was that once the hamburger patty (at least I thought it was real cow then), I was to put the cheese on top of the meat patty and allow the cheese to melt. The idea was that warm melted cheese was the hallmark of this joint in a dead end town in central Illinois.
The Google management decision is that my training in how to make a cheeseburger was not Googley, nor would the cheeseburger be fit for consumption by an Android user who will be monitored.
My son knew the fellow who created the now famous McDonald’s jingle which points out:
Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, and a sesame seed bun.
Obviously that jungle writer was wrong. The jingle suggests that the cheese goes on top of the two all beef patties in my opinion.
I love Google, but the recipe fetish of Jeff Dean may work for Chubby, just not for me.
