Bourbon Bbq Sauce
Ingredients: Water, Sugar, Tomato Paste, Distilled Vinegar, Honey,
Salt, Molasses, Corn Starch, Contains 2% Or Less: Salted Bourbon
Whiskey (bourbon, Salt), Natural Flavors, Caramel Color, Mustard Seed,
Spices, Garlic, Paprika.

As most of us know, ingredients are usually listed in order of
quantity-- therefore, in the above, there is more water than sugar;
more sugar that tomato paste; etc. etc.

This sauce contains more corn starch than bourbon, the latter
consisting of 2% OR LESS of the total ingredients. Bourbon is
typically 40% alcohol. Any cooking will further reduce the amount of
alcohol (keep in mind alcohol evaporates at a lower temperature than
water (172蚌 (78蚓)) and, given the small amount of the sauce that the
hamburger is dressed with, for all intents and purposes, there is no
alcohol in this burger.

A typical ketchup packet contains 5 grams of product. Assuming this
amount of "sauce," we are looking at 2% of 5.3 grams, or 0.1062 grams.
Of that 0.1062 grams, 40% would be alcohol BEFORE COOKING, or 0.04248
grams. Assuming 80% of the alcohol would evaporate after cooking, we
can safely assume the POSSIBILITY of there being 0.008496 grams of
alcohol in the McDonald's Bacon BBQ Burger.

That's less than the weight of a typical housefly.

I suspect that Jenny will imagine herself getting drunk half way
though tasting this burger, however.
