Okay
I used to live in Canada when I was in elementary school
And there was a McDonald's lunch day once a month at the local elementary school I went to
Only those who wanted to eat McDonald's could order their lunch
The menu was limited and you could only choose between a cheeseburger set and a pepperoni pizza set
But if you applied in advance, McDonald's would be delivered to your lunch
Yeah
And I remember that McDonald's pizza was really really good as a kid
Oh
But even if you were to talk about this with your friends
They would say that they had never heard of a pizza menu from McDonald's in Japan or overseas
Oh
But in the city of Canada where I was, there was a pizza menu and it was really really good
Really? Okay
And I also bought root beer
Oh
Have you ever eaten pizza at McDonald's?
I was born in the US and I thought you might know a little about McDonald's history
I would be happy if you could talk about McDonald's pizza on the podcast
It was really good
Wow
I'm sorry to disappoint you but I did not know that
I did not know McDonald's sold pizzas
They have pizza?
I don't think so
I didn't think so
Really?
But I do know that you can order fast food
Some schools offer kids fast food as lunch
I had one too
Mine was not McDonald's, it was Chick-fil-A
Okay
But yeah, I don't know if we pre-ordered it or not
But yeah, it was available
Do you have once a month?
Once a week
Okay
Like every Friday if I remember correctly
Wow okay
That's a...
Well first impression that's unbelievable in Japan
Yeah
Lack of nutrition
Yep
Unhealthy
Yeah
Too much oil
PTA will be really angry about that
Yeah
But yeah
Right
But you know kids will be happy
Yeah
Right
I found this article on the...
I just did a really quick Google search
And the title is
Is McDonald's Pizza Canada coming back?
Oh wow
Earlier today McDonald's Canada put out a social media announcement saying that a menu item that fans have been asking for is arriving on August 31st, 2021
It could be the McDonald's pizza otherwise known as McPizza
McPizza
Have you ever heard about that?
Yeah
Well the company merely just hinted about the item launch
06:01
People have started to guess what the item could be
McPizza started trending and McDonald's Canada quickly made note of it
McPizza is trending please send help
Is what
McDonald's Canada posted out
When was the McPizza launched?
Okay
McDonald's debuted the McPizza in the late 1980s
Okay
They offered four varieties
Cheese, pepperoni, sausage and deluxe
Wow
McPizza was made with McDonald's pizza sauce, crushed tomatoes, fresh garlic, basil, oregano
Okay
Other ingredients were 100% mozzarella, aged romano and parmesan cheese
Sliced tomatoes, pepperoni, pork sausage, mushroom, green peppers, onions, special seasonings
Wow
That looks good
Is that McPizza?
Oh yeah, it says McDonald's
Yeah, it's McPizza
Wow
Wow
That looks pretty good
So they had that
Yeah, they did
You could get a deal when you remember that McPizza was delivered after the form
Because McPizza was not the official name but rather a customer decided to call it
Uh huh
But they stopped making it
True
Why was that?
In 2012, McDonald's made an official statement on why they decided to take the McPizza off the menu
The reason was
Though it was a popular menu item in Canada, the preparation time was about 11 minutes
Which was way too long for us
Every McDonald's
Sorry, is that way too long for them?
Yeah, it's a fast food restaurant, right?
Yeah, the concept is fast food, it comes out quick
Wow
Every McDonald's has a busy kitchen and the pizza slowed down our game
And since speed of service is a top priority and expected by our customers
We thought it best to remove this menu item
For now, our pizzas will have to remain a tasty bit of history
Okay
I love that expression
Yeah, for now our pizzas will have to remain a tasty bit of history
Yeah
Yeah, it's unique
Yeah
Such a Western way of explaining things, right?
A Japanese company would never say it like this, right?
True
Okay
So now we believe K-san that Canada had this kind of pizza
And they delivered
Yeah
They served to the schools
But one rumor says
One confirmed location where you can get a McPizza right now
Is that the world's largest entertainment McDonald's located in Orlando, Florida
Really? What was that again?
The world's largest "world's largest entertainment McDonald's"
What's that?
Let's check it out
Check out that property?
09:00
What's that?
I don't know
Is that kind of museum thing?
What's that?
It doesn't look that big
Well
But bigger than a usual McDonald's
It looks like a three-story building
Two or three
It's not like a museum
Yeah, I thought it was more like a Disney World kind of line
It's just a normal store
Yeah, it's a double-sized McDonald's I guess
Compared to the US usual size?
Yeah, it's double, triple, quadruple around there
It's not like times 20
Nothing like that, right?
So what is this place?
I guess there's a typical Japanese game center-ish kind of thing
Like Chuck E. Cheese vibe
Wow
Oh
So I guess kids can play around
Chuck E. Cheese?
Chuck E. Cheese is like a game
You know how Japan has a game center?
The US version is Chuck E. Cheese
The number one store is called Chuck E. Cheese
I used to go to Chuck E. Cheese
Really?
You go to Chuck E. Cheese
There's all these games, right?
Every time you win a game, there's tickets that come out
And you collect all the tickets
And at the end, you go to the counter
And they would weigh the tickets
And if it's like 5 pounds
Oh, really?
No, 5 pounds
But if you go to a certain weight
There's this category of prizes you can go to
If you have this amount of weight with your tickets
You can get one of these
Yeah, I remember as a kid
I used to be very excited on how much tickets I got
Chuck E. Cheese
Is that because McDonald's is famous for cheeseburgers?
That's why you mentioned Chuck E. Cheese
That is exactly why I mentioned Chuck E. Cheese
Right
The cheese joke
Double cheese joke
Yeah, double cheese joke
Because McDonald's offers double cheeseburgers, right?
Yeah, of course
That's a good joke
Thank you
Is it an amusement park?
Yeah
Amusement park
Or like an arcade
Arcade
It's not a store
Like McDonald's restaurant
I'm sure they sell McDonald's there
Right?
See, they're baking pizza
Wow
An Orlando McDonald's
Orlando McDonald's is tasting
Wood-fired pizza
And pasta
Wow
Oh, wow
So, K-san, if you visit this place
Orlando
Yeah
You can get this
Yes
12:00
I'm not sure if it's the exact same one
Yeah
As you had when you were a child
But I'm sure the memories would come back
Yeah
I'd probably feel nostalgic
So, yeah
Wow, I didn't know that
Alright
Okay
Thanks for listening guys. Thank you
