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

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

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

              Unfortunately, I have.

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