      Secondary Fun Fact: It was created by a franchise owner, against the wishes of CEO Ray Kroc, who had created a sandwich with grilled pineapple as a meat substitute for that purpose.

        Yep! The Hula Burger! Something tells me Kroc got that one wrong.

          Grilled pineapple is delicious.

            Maybe, but I’m not so sure about grilled pineapple with melted cheese on a bun, which is what Kroc envisioned.

                Unfortunately, I have.

                Also, they generally don’t make it with processed cheese.

              Hmm. Maybe you’re right. I’d have to try it out. And today is grocery day, AND I had a dream about pineapple…

                Oops. I added pineapple to my burger, forgetting to just replace the meat patty. It was okay, but I’ll try again tomorrow.
