Biden Administration Waives Patent On McMenamins Cajun Tot Recipe

In an unprecedented move, President Joe Biden has given into pressure and directed his administration to forcefully remove the patent protection for McMenamins’ cajun tots. This order necessitates that the recipe be immediately published in the public domain for replication and consumption.⁣

Taking on an industry titan is bold, but government regulators are hoping that it pays off. “The American people have had a rough go of it lately,” said U.S. Secretary of Potatoes Emanuel Bloom. “They have rumbling tummies and deserve a lift of patent protection on these flavor dusted spud nuggets. With over the counter tots in production, instead of waiting months or maybe years for ones produced by McMenamins, we will all be in a much better place. Morally we cannot stand prioritizing McMenamins profits over the needs of the people by keeping their proprietary recipe a secret.“⁣⁣

McMenamins Chef De Cuisine, Margaret Campos was irate. “This is all a bunch of horse shit and will stifle our industry. Our creative cadre of gastronomic creations spur innovation within the industry. Allowing for generic versions of our food will be a great detriment to consumers’ palates. How do we know that our other innovative dishes such as our famous hummus plate or world renowned fireside roast turkey sandwich are safe in this ever eroding landscape of intellectual property?. The administration might as well just start issuing McMenamins passports to people willy nilly.”
