The story · 2000

The story of Countdown Cheeseburger

As the calendar crept toward the new millennium, Mainframe Burgers leaned all the way in. The Countdown Cheeseburger had a glowing green bun, ketchup dotted like computer code and a toy computer bug clipped to the box. If the computers crashed at midnight, at least you had a burger. They did not crash. The burger did sell out.

Fun fact

The toy bug's eyes blinked red whenever you shook the box, and plenty of them were still blinking well into February.
