Now this is what you would call a Happy Meal! Police are investigating an engaged couple’s claim of finding marijuana in between the patties of their McDonald’s double cheeseburgers.

Late in April, the couple purchased the burgers in a drive though at 8:15pm. After taking a bite into the sandwich, they noticed a strong smell and observed pieces of what appeared to be marijuana on their cheeseburger. They returned the burgers to the McDonalds based in Ottumwa, Iowa and police launched an investigation.

Ottumwa Police Lt. Jason Bell couldn’t confirm how much of the substance was present on the burgers, but said it “appears to be consistent with marijuana.”


Results confirming the plant like pieces won’t be available for least a month. Police are trying to determine how the material got into the burgers and are looking at everyone from the employees at the restaurant to the couple who reported the problem.

No charges have been filed. When contacted by phone for comment, the McDonald’s manager on duty said  “no comment” and then hung up.  We’re thinking McWeed burger jokes won’t go over too well there.
