**McDonald’s Shuts Down CosMc’s but Will Experiment with Inspired Beverages: A Cosmic Comedy**
In a shocking turn of events that has left the fast-food universe reeling, McDonald’s has officially announced the closure of its intergalactic-themed restaurant, CosMc’s. The space-age eatery, which promised to take customers on a “journey to the stars” through its menu of cosmic burgers and asteroid fries, has been deemed a “black hole of profitability” by corporate overlords.
“We thought people would love a burger that tastes like it was made on Mars,” said Ronald McDonald, who was last seen wearing a tinfoil hat and trying to communicate with extraterrestrial life via a Big Mac. “Turns out, they just wanted a regular cheeseburger without the gravitational pull of a 10-minute wait.”
In a bid to salvage their cosmic dreams, McDonald’s has announced plans to experiment with a new line of inspired beverages. The drinks, tentatively named “Galactic Gulp” and “Meteorite Milkshake,” are said to be infused with flavors that are “out of this world.”
“We’re talking about a drink that tastes like a comet collided with a fruit salad,” said beverage innovator and self-proclaimed space enthusiast, Buzz Lightyear (not the one from Toy Story, but a local barista). “It’s a flavor explosion that will leave your taste buds orbiting in delight!”
Critics, however, are skeptical. “I tried the Galactic Gulp, and it tasted like a black hole of disappointment,” said local food blogger, Karen “The Critic” McBite. “I was expecting a taste of the cosmos, but all I got was a sip of regret.”
As McDonald’s prepares to launch its new beverage line, the world watches with bated breath—or perhaps just a side of fries. Will these inspired drinks be the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe, or will they simply be another failed experiment in the fast-food galaxy? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: the only thing more inflated than their prices will be the expectations.
