The Value of Mmmm

On the inside of a quarter pounder box, from McDonalds, there is a blurb about the quality of meat used to make the burger pattie and a lot of other rubbish written to make McDonalds sound like heroes, but the most interesting thing is that there is an equation they've obviously thrown together to link all the useless information, about australian cows and such, they've listed inside the box. I've always dismissed this equation as McDonalds attempting to be mathematically "funny", however, the other night, whilst I was eating my quarter pounder and reading the box yet again I noticed that there was only one variable in the completely manufactured and obviously fake equation. That variable being Mmmm. So I thought ''I've stumbled across an opportunity, the opportunity to find the value of Mmmmm in McDonalds burgers!"
The equation that's read on the inside of the box is this:

(18 000 000 x 2.2) x 4 = (Mmmm^3 x 10^8)^10
I worked out that the value of the Mmmm in McDonalds burgers is only 4.04 x 10^-3. Which is quite a small number. I was wondering if that means that McDonalds burgers aren't very yummy? I wondered also if they meant for the equation to be solved, and how many others had solved it before me? Whatever the answers to these questions are, I'm glad I've finally found the value of Mmmm, it's like one of life's big questions have been answered and I can finally rest easy, knowing that Mmmm = 4.04 x 10^-3.
