Our City Informer investigates (and advocates for a chance to once again eat McNuggets at sea).
How the floating McDonalds became an icon.The McBarge began to sink today, so it seems like a good time to check back at our 2018 story of how this floating restaurant came to be.
We’ve all been there: enjoying a family pack of chicken nuggets after a hard day at the office , elbow deep in sweet-and-sour dipping sauce, wondering why, in this day and age, are we not able to have this sort of fulfilling fast-food experience…at sea?! It’s frustrating, because though today we’re forced to consume our all-beef patties, land-locked like, McDonald’s was once on the forefront of ocean-burger technology. During Expo 86, the fast-food giant opened up a state-of-the-art floating bistro in Vancouver: at 187 feet long, the grand dame—a.k.a. the Friendship 500—proudly hosted 12,000 people a day, none of whom were me, thanks to a cruel twist of fate in which I was not alive yet.
