Do you know why McDonald's have pickles on their cheeseburgers?
It's been shown, time and time again, that a large proportion of their customers don't like the pickles, and pull them off their burgers. But McDonald's HAVE to keep their (uber salty, you'll notice) pickles on their cheeseburgers so that it doesn't have to be labelled "confectionery" - because of the sugar levels in the bun.
Don't know if it's happening in the US, but what with the "healthy" changes to the menu happening over here, the TV is advertising "low sugar buns coming soon!".
