NEW YORK CITY – In an unprecedented leap into the world of fast food innovation, McDonald’s ($MCD) has unveiled its latest solution to ongoing E. coli outbreaks: coin-operated stomach pumps. Yes, you read that right, folks. The same restaurant chain that gave you the McRib, the McFlurry, and the timeless Big Mac now offers the ultimate in dining safety—an in-house, post-digestive experience guaranteed to eject whatever questionably cooked burger you just ate, for the low price of $5.75 per pump.
“Supersize Your Safety!” Says McDonald’s
To many, it may seem strange that a fast food giant like McDonald’s would opt for an aggressive post-meal solution rather than addressing the root cause of the problem—such as food safety, hygiene, or, I don’t know, making sure the beef isn’t crawling with deadly bacteria. But this is McDonald’s, after all. Why fix the system when you can just slap a coin slot on it and call it innovation?
“Our customers asked for it!” declared a McDonald’s spokesperson in a press conference, flanked by a life-sized Grimace who, disturbingly, held a large plunger. “We know people love our food, but sometimes things go wrong. Instead of overhauling outdated safety measures, we thought, ‘Why not let our customers take their digestive health into their own hands?’ That’s the McDonald’s way: innovative, customer-centric, and low-cost!”
The new stomach pump stations will be centrally located to ensure quick and easy access for McPatrons. Each unit comes with a step-by-step guide plastered to the side, written in the same cheerfully condescending tone as the instructions for a McFlurry machine, because nothing says “Enjoy your meal!” quite like reading about the intricacies of reverse peristalsis while wiping mustard off your chin.
Health Concerns? McDonald’s Says, “Why Bother?”
Now, you might be asking, “What about health regulations? What about basic decency?” To which McDonald’s seems to have responded, “LOL.”

Apparently, the Golden Arches have found a legal loophole. Rather than complying with pesky FDA guidelines or spending millions on supply chain reform, McDonald’s is instead offering “preventative measures” in the form of DIY stomach evacuation. “It’s really no different than when we offered all-day breakfast!” continued the spokesperson, smiling broadly like a hostage in a corporate hostage video. “Except this time, you can enjoy a McMuffin for lunch and then immediately void your entire gastrointestinal tract for dessert. It’s like a Happy Meal for your colon!”
According to internal memos (leaked via a brave soul on Reddit who probably ate his last quarter pounder that day), the decision to roll out stomach pumps was actually cheaper than retraining food prep workers on proper hygiene. Who knew that handwashing and keeping raw meat separate from fresh veggies was so expensive, right?
But here’s the kicker—when asked if McDonald’s might, at some point, consider sourcing its meat from suppliers who don’t have a reputation for serving up E. coli on a sesame seed bun, the spokesperson chuckled, “We’re in the fast food business, not the safe food business.”
Happy Meals: Now with a Side of Hazardous Materials
Perhaps the most jaw-dropping part of the entire McPump rollout is the bold rebranding of its children’s meals. In a stroke of capitalist genius (or utter depravity, take your pick), McDonald’s has now bundled the coin-operated stomach pump into its Happy Meals under the catchy slogan, “Safety First, Fun Second!”
Each McFlush Jr. station, now equipped with smaller, child-friendly nozzles and a brightly colored rainbow interface, allows children to participate in the decontamination process with the same enthusiasm they once reserved for McNuggets and PlayPlace slides. One customer, Greg Smith, was spotted with his son, who had just finished vomiting up a McDouble into the kid-friendly version of the stomach pump. “At least they’re learning early how to take responsibility for their food choices,” Smith commented between dry heaves.

The McFlush App: Because Why Stop at Pumps?
Not one to fall behind in the digital age, McDonald’s is also launching a companion app—McFlush Pro—which gamifies your stomach evacuation experience. The app will sync with the pump machines and reward users with “McPoints” based on the volume and speed of their regurgitation. Once you’ve earned enough points, you can redeem them for valuable prizes, such as a free Filet-O-Fish or a chance to spin the wheel for a “rare” E. coli-resistant McGold Membership Card. With a McGold card, you’ll get unlimited pump access, perfect for when you’re just “lovin’ it” a little too much.

The app will also offer real-time health analytics, letting you track your body’s reaction to that double quarter pounder with cheese. “It’s a little like a fitness tracker, but for vomiting!” boasts McDonald’s promotional material. “Monitor your health, set personal goals, and unlock achievements. Did you know vomiting up an entire Big Mac in under 3 minutes earns you a bronze medal?”
Critics Weigh In: “This is Fine, Everything is Fine”
Naturally, not everyone is as thrilled about the latest McDonald’s innovation. Health professionals have been somewhat critical, to put it mildly. Dr. Karen Fitzgerald, a well-respected epidemiologist, expressed dismay at the company’s prioritization of pumps over food safety. “This feels like treating a bullet wound with a Band-Aid made out of fries,” she said in an interview. “I mean, really. Could they at least pretend to care about preventing E. coli outbreaks in the first place?”
The public, however, seems to have a different opinion. Social media has erupted with fans either enthusiastically applauding McDonald’s for its customer-first approach, or expressing their newfound distrust of anything that comes with a side of ketchup and fries. One viral TikTok trend involves customers competing to see who can pump their stomach the fastest after eating a McChicken. “#McFlushChallenge” now has over 2 million views.
But even as the internet debates whether this is capitalism’s peak or its final death rattle, McDonald’s marches forward. Rumor has it that plans for the McColon—an automated, coin-operated colon cleanse—are already underway, allowing McDonald’s customers to truly go “from farm to toilet” in record time.
The Future of Fast Food: McPumps Everywhere?
Will this stomach pump revolution catch on? Are we, as a society, really so unwilling to part with fast food that we’ll embrace industrial-strength vomit machines rather than demanding better standards for our food? McDonald’s seems to think so.
As for the future, experts predict that the success of the McFlush may even inspire other chains to follow suit. Taco Bell ($YUM) is reportedly experimenting with “post-meal hydration chambers,” while Burger King ($QSR) is said to be testing a coin-operated colonoscopy station called The Royal Flush.
In any case, McDonald’s is once again setting the trend. And if history is anything to go by, soon we may all be standing in line for the opportunity to pump our stomachs in a brightly lit, ketchup-splattered dining room while Ronald McDonald cheers us on from the sidelines.
