The original was 'Meck-Pomm', implying it sounded like 'McPom'. 'Pom' is
a derogatory Australian term for English, so McPom sounds like a burger
from Maccas made out of English meat. English meat is famed for its mad
cow disease.

Incidentally, their burgers here are labelled as being '100% Australian
beef(TM)' (and their fries are 'Australia's favourite fries(TM)'). But
their recent ads have actually been claiming they're Australian
export-quality beef with just a bit of salt (I think), so if they were
significantly different from that, I'm sure they could be sued for false
advertising or some such. (On the fries, only Maccas and Hungry Jacks/
Burger King really have fries, as well as various frozen varieties. Most
places, including KFC, sell (hot) chips.)

But their new Salads Plus range seems to include some 'healthy' burgers
made with lite meat and I think pretty close to fresh vegetables on it!
I don't know what's happened to the real McDonalds we know and love...
