To commemorate the 2012 London Olympic Games, fast food company McDonald’s has slashed the price of its Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese to just $3.49.

“This is a time to celebrate,” said a spokesperson for McDonald’s, global sponsor of this year’s games. “While it’s true our food has actually prevented countless athletes from reaching their full potential, it’s also true that our Double Quarter Pounder is delicious — especially at this reduced price! That’s 90 percent of your daily allowance of saturated fat for just $3.49!”
