In Honor of playing the Rockets, we're going to step back a few decades and relive two of the more amusing basketball and fast food crossovers. The Tim and Chris burger, or is it the Chris and Tim Burger and the Double Decker Taco.
First, to preface it, I couldn't find any screenshots or streaming video of McDonald's ad campaign featuring Chris Mullin and Tim Hardaway. It's a shame that they aren't somewhere out on the internet. The commercial featured the "T" and "C" of Run TMC arguing over whether it was called the "Tim and Chris Burger" or the "Chris and Tim Burger." The burger wasn't anything special, but the fact that we had two basketball stars hawking us meat and cheese between two patties made the burger just taste better.
Thinking of the Tim and Chris Burger brings back childhood memories of watching the original Nellieball flow up and down the court. Tim's "Texas Two-Step" Crossover and of course, Mullie's array of threes, jumpshots, and ackward looking lay-ups. I could go on about Billy Owens, but I won't, not today.
Playing against the Rockets, brings back memories of another, more recent basketball and fastfood crossover. The Double Decker Taco, from Taco Bell. Featured during the 1995 Finals Series between the Orlando Magic and the Houston Rockets. This was way easier to find on YouTube.
Let's hope the Warriors play up to the level of the Rockets and can get back into being comfortable as the underdogs.

ReplyDeleteIt was called the "Chris and Tim" burger. Elsewhere in county was called McKordan burger. 90s when it came out. Was a regular hamburger, with a circular piece of bacon annd BBQ sauce (not nugget one) in place of usual condiments, plus pickle and onions. The big deal was it was cheap. Cheapest bbq bacon sandwich you could get anywhere (looking at you Carl's Jr). I loved them
