I like how it makes the burgers look more "laid back", like some cool sunglasses-wearing skater/surfer dude leaning back, or a pin-up model whose pose invites you in. Standing up straight is for the man and that's not how I want my burgers to be.

These burgers aren't working for the man


They're working for the mac


Quite. A burger that wears its hat at a jaunty angle for a rakish look.


I was thinking maybe this makes them look more American to a Japanese audience that lives in an orderly society.


I was thinking more of south park characters, maybe ike:

Don't kick the burger


That would be Canadian McDonalds.


As we can see, it takes deliberate effort to look laid back ;)

No idea why we're discussing burgers or the man, but pretty funny to learn the phrase goes back to freaking BCE


That's interesting, because I had a different take: The burgers are 'so big' they can't easily be contained.

If you notice, it's mostly the higher priced burgers that seem to be 'askew'
