Creating a race of human hummingbirds

Didn't anyone watch Supersize Me when it came out? Do we need a collective refresher course?

After taking strides to make McDonald's, ahem, "healthier" in the form of milk or apple slices as substitutes for the usual sugary sodas and french fries, it looks like the Hamburglar has deemed it time to reinstitute his plan for world domination.

According to a story found by the always outstanding Chicagoist.com, McDonald's is going to test market Red Bull at their crapshacks. Oh, and they're throwing in a little Mountain Dew for good measure.

Can we just mix the two?

Apparently, McDonald's will not be happy until every man, woman and child in America is hovering between six and eight inches above the ground at all times. I suspect this may be a sinister plot by the McDonald's board of directors, who have been secretly buying stock in digital camera companies and once they pump us full of sugar, they'll make a killing selling faster cameras to try and catch us in between twitches.

It's exactly for that reason that I imagine the test markets will be next to college campuses.

If it's 2 bucks or more a can at the grocery store, how expensive will a Mickey D's Red Bull be?
