McDonald's Top Trumps

Here's a fun game for two or more players (one to ask the questions, the others to answer) while whiling away the time at Mickey D's. If you turn over the paper placemats, they have a list of every item on the menu, with columns showing how much energy (in kcals), protein, fat, carbohydrate, salt etc (in grams) is in each. Printed in grey six-point type, of course, so it's not a game for the faint hearted short sighted.

For example, choosing "Energy" as the category, the questions might be which option has more kcal's:

A. A portion of Flora or a portion of strawberry jam?

B. Sausage and egg McMuffin or Double Bacon & Egg McMuffin?

C. Ice cream cone with Flake or strawberry sundae?

Click and highlight to reveal answers:

A. Flora - 55 kcals; strawberry jam - 50.

B. Sausage and egg McMuffin - 420; Double Bacon & Egg McMuffin - 395.

C. Ice cream cone with Flake - 195; strawberry sundae - 300.

Bonus points to the first person to find a menu item which contains nuts, according to the relevant column in the "Allergen Information" section.
