McDonalds releases questionably green 'Angry Birds' burger

McDonalds burger buns have been far too beige, for far too long.

In China, the chain recently decided to release a line of green and red burgers to promote the upcoming Angry Birds Movie. The burgers are supposed to elicit some childlike enthusiasm for the summer blockbuster -- but some are worried that they look like slightly unpalatable substances, including "fresh mold" and "old blood."

"The Naughty Green Pork Burger" will include a pork patty, egg, lettuce, a mystery sauce with jalapeños and green buns. Frankly, the combination sounds delicious, even if it does look like it was designed by a Kool-Aid packet from 1990s.

McDonalds also has released an "Super Red Burger" to celebrate the movie. By contrast, it is a double chicken sandwich on red buns.

McDonalds has been moving in multiple, seemingly contradictory directions over the past year. The chain has experimented by going slower, local and healthier-ish -- including Gilroy garlic fries and fresh beef patties. 

But they also recently developed a "McDonalds of the future" which includes all-you-can-eat fries -- not exactly the "farm-to-table" McDonalds they were trying to project.

McDonalds, you're so complicated, so mysterious, so ... green. 

We're probably lovin' it.
