In a Pickle

In case anyone missed it McDonald's launched the McPickle Burger as an April Fools prank apparently confident that no one would want one. The folks in charge of the prank seriously underestimated the number of pickle lovers there are in the world. Here's where it gets tricky,I'm guessing since they advertised it that they had to make the McPickle if requested otherwise wouldn't that come under false advertising? A man in Tasmania went to the local McDonald's and ordered a McPickle,much to the embarrassment of his family,in fact they ordered separately from him. When he received his McPickle it was pretty much a Big Mac without the meat and the price was right considering it was basically a special order,it was either $1.45 if you go by Australian dollars in Tasmania,or $2.61 if Tasmania uses British pounds,still that's a whole lot of pickles in one sitting! The reason for the confusion on the currency is they listed it as pounds but Tasmania uses the Australian dollar so I'm not entirely clear on the pricing.
