The magical
time of the wee hours when a 24-hour McDonald's switches from dinner to breakfast.
Usually at 3am, the IML provides the perfect opportunity for one hell of a fast-food run. Some 24-hour joints actually close down for a brief
period (10-15 minutes) to actually switch to breakfast. This makes 2:55 the ideal
time to roll up to the drive-thru.
To take advantage of the International McDate Line, you must order at least one item from the menu that cannot be purchased during breakfast*. You
will be handed your
food at almost exactly 3am, giving you 10-15 minutes to enjoy your gourmet meal. After polishing off the leftover condiments from your Big Mac
box, roll on up and order 4 sausage mcmuffins. That's about 55,000 calories in a half-hour, but only 27,500 for each
day.
*If you're on the bejesus belt, it must be at least one value meal
