Umm, honey?

Lara and I walked to McDonald's tonight and got some Chicken McNuggets. As always, we requested honey to dip them in. The guy behind the counter just stared at us. "Honey mustard?" No, just honey. He went to go ask a supervisor. "We don't have honey."
What's that horrible noise? Oh, it's another piece of my childhood being ripped from me and shoved through the shredder.
How can McDonald's not have honey for Chicken McNuggets?! Honey has been one of the four cornerstones of the McNugget Dipping Sauce Family since the Great McNugget Emergence of 1983! (BBQ, Sweet and Sour, and Hot Mustard are the other three, in case you didn't minor in McNugget Lore.) And to make it even worse, the people at McDonald's stared at me like I was crazy, like honey at McDonald's had never existed.
It turns out I'm not alone. A McDonald's in Sunnyvale, CA has also suffered the loss of honey, and a story eerily similar to my own has been shared by a shocked visitor to a McDonald's in the UK.
First the fried apple pies, then the apple danishes, now this. What stable, comforting reminder of my youth will they crush next? I would think the Egg McMuffin would be safe, but the fear is beginning to gnaw at my mind...
