'''Deli Choices''' is a line of [[sandwich]] rolls containing different fillings. The rolls were released by [[McDonald's]] in [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]] on October [[2004]].
==Product description==
Each sandwich is prepared to order. The bread is toasted (toaster conveyor belt, similar to a pizza oven) prior to being prepared. Meat and cheese fillings are heated in several seconds using a quick-steamer (similar to the device used to steam buns for the McChicken and Filet-O-Fish). The Bacon & Egg roll is part of the breakfast menu.
==History==
A similar sandwich called the McHero was on the menu in the early 90's, but was recently brought back annually starting in 2004 in franchises in the [[Cleveland, Ohio|Cleveland]]/[[Akron, Ohio|Akron]] metro area as the Cavaliers Triple Double. It was also offered there in the summer of 2002 as the Thome Triple in reference to then [[Cleveland Indians]] player [[Jim Thome]]. It was also marketed in the summer of 1995 in conjunction with the [[movie]] [[Batman Forever]].
