📜 Lore

The McChicken was forged in the sacred kitchens of the Arches, originally hidden in the $1 Menu Codex — a secret society of scroll-priced relics known to nourish the tired, the broke, and the brave. For decades it was overlooked, until scrollmasters realized its ability to transform with minimal cost, maximum crunch, and universal appeal.

Legends speak of a warrior-monk who survived an entire road trip with just 12 McChickens, a bottle of turmeric, and willpower. The sandwich now appears as a minor miracle during moments of hangriness, decision fatigue, and long-shadowed days.

🗣️ Ritual Dialogue (When Consumed)
