More movie tie-ins that should have been...

I can't help but think of these sometimes. Here are just a few more off the top of my head:

The McDonald's Dawn of the Dead (or Zombieland) Zombie Meal: A hand-burger (they already press pork into the shape of ribs in the McRib, so just use the same technique for a hand shape, and smother with blood-colored BBQ sauce), flesh fries (regular French Fries with red food coloring), and a blood shake (just like a cherry milkshake or something with the appropriate color). Kids totally love gross stuff: remember Green Slime, that purple slime with the worms in it, Madballs, Garbage Pail Kids, etc? I guarantee kids would love it, and the fact that they're not allowed to see the movie would make it twice as alluring! (Hey, if Ronald McDonald isn't willing to make the Zombie Meal, maybe the Insane Clown Posse could open up a fast-food establishment.)
