I really love trolls.
No, not the ugly kind.
Nope, not the cute kind either.
Yes, that’s my kind of troll, the corporate troll.
The local upstart (but not a start-up anymore) trolled its customers nationwide by announcing they were going to discontinue their popular 20 GB for $20 Data Plus option.
Fast forward to this week and we have another contestant for the “Best Corporate Troll Award.”
Sausage McGriddles At Springleaf Tower Outlet For 1 Day Only (27 Feb)
You see, this had happened to be the title of an article my colleague wrote just two days back.
If you haven’t read it, and why haven’t you? It was basically conveying the good news that McGriddles was to be back for just ONE DAY at its Springleaf Tower Outlet on the 27 February, which is actually today.
But seriously, upon reading the article, I had my doubts and texted my editor, BH, for more information.
Me: Eh, why 1 day only?
BH: Why aren’t you at work today?
Me: Why is it only for 1 hundred customers?
BH: Shouldn’t you be at work today?
Me: Like seriously, why all the above and only at the Springleaf Tower outlet?
BH: Are you coming in today?
As you can tell, the conversation amounted to nothing, and much ado about nothing was exactly what the Springleaf Tower McGridldes promotion was.
Until today.
Guess Who’s Back? Griddles’ Back.
For today, nestled in my email is Mac’s press release announcing that the the Sausage McGriddles and Sausage McGriddles®with Egg is back and will be available for a limited time only from S$4.50 and S$5.40 a-la-carte respectively.
The best-est part? You can get them at all McDonald’s® restaurants (Excludes McDonald’s Science Centre and McDonald’s LIDO) and via McDelivery® and GrabFood, on a while stocks last basis.
Seriously, what a troll.
Now though, take a deep breath and repeat after me.
Mccc….Griiiiii….ddllesssss… HELL YEAH.
Featuring a delicious chicken sausage patty sandwiched between soft, maple-flavoured griddle cakes, these Limited Edition breakfast favourites will make breakfast great again with their return on 28 February….which is tomorrow.
Or so say Macs’ press kit.
I won’t deny it, these McGriddles Limited Edition breakfast set will sure make breakfast great again.
That said, we don’t know how long the Golden Arch will be selling em’ for, for I’m pretty sure they will be selling like *ahem* hotcakes.
So, seriously well-played McDonald’s and here’s some free publicity for you.
What are you folks waiting for?
Oh right, ya’ll waiting tomorrow.
May the griddles be with you.

Their own version of crispy chicken.
Made with a generous piece of juicy, tender thigh meat, it’s coated in McDonald’s special crispy chicken batter and fried to perfection.
You can get them at $6.20 (for two pieces, ala-carte) from all McDonald’s® restaurants and via McDelivery® and GrabFood while stocks last.
By the way, this isn’t new. Or at least, crispy chicken from McDonald’s existed for some time in Singapore.
Previously, we wrote about McDonald’s secretly selling Crispy Chicken without telling Singaporeans about it.
Whether it is the same crispy chicken or a revised version, we don’t know.
But here’s our review on the crispy chicken we’ve discovered some time back. After all, it’ll either taste the same or better.
Here’s a simplified summary of the South Korea martial law that even a 5-year-old would understand:
