MUNCIE, INDIANA – In the wake of the tragic assassination of the beloved Bacon Cheese Fries, Ball State University has made the controversial decision to rename the McKinley Grille. Effective immediately, the campus eatery will now be known simply as "Grill."
"There’s nothing 'McKinley' about us without our Bacon Cheese Fries", a Grill (formerly known as McKinley Grille) worker expressed to BSnUws. "Bacon Cheese, McKinley...they sound alike, right? So to honor our fallen fries, it’s just Grill now."
The rebranding was marked by the swift replacement of the iconic McKinley Grille sign. In its place, a minimalist Arial font sign with the word "Grill" in stark white text now greets diners. The change has sparked mixed reactions among the student body, with some appreciating the minimalist aesthetic, while others mourn the loss of a campus icon and tradition.
To show how ridiculous most places are after a tragedy, BSnUws is selling "Fry High" merchandise online at https://www.bonfire.com/fry-high/.
Hey, I did this as a joke and don’t anticipate on actually selling something that says “Fry High” on it. You know those who are insensitive and sell t-shirts and hoodies when a tragedy happens? Yeah, I’m mocking that. But yeah, these are actual products.
