Has "waterboarding" ever been used in the same sentence as "quarter pounder" before? How can this proposition be proved? Google turns up no ready examples, yet my gut says it's virtually 100% that the answer is yes.
You asked for proof when you had already provided it (and presumably Google will at some point reflect this). I just wasted everyone's time with an trivial speculation.
At some point in the future we may have everything written available to us. We will also have substantially more of what has been spoken, as recorded conversations are moved into the public domain.
But it could be that both your words/phrases have been witnessed precisely once in a sentence at some point in the past and that fact will never come to light. So we cannot know it hasn't.

"Let's finish waterboarding this tourist* and go for a quarter-pounder."
That must have happened.
