McDonalds Commercial

Curious about something ..

do they play a TV commercial in the USA where a white girl and a black guy are sitting on some steps, and about to eat McDonalds .. when the guy complains about not getting a toy with his meal...


does that ring any bells or did this just play in Canada ?

Yeah, never seen it.

My #1 complaint about Mcdonalds these days is the shitty english they use in their advertising... We have enough dumb people in the world without major chains catering to them:

"I'm lovin' it."

Or the signs for taking credit cards:
"Yeah. We take 'em"



Jesus.... the advertising campaign sounds olike stupid nihilistic kids....

See the documentary "super size me" you will never eat at McDougals again..

I avoid fast food like the plague, with the exception of Sub sandwich places.

No true. Although it was informative, i highly doubt the objectivity of a guy with a vegan chef as a girlfriend....

i was told the same thing - but didnt need to see it - like i said in another thread .. every time i eat fast food crap i feel like i've been poisoned, cheated, and robbed.

subs are a safe bet (depending on your choice of the meats - a lot of cold cuts are pretty bad)

i prefer authentic asian food to anything - its very healthy and tastes great - but depending on where you live - finding the authentic places might be a challenge

Ok I agree the guy may be a little bias, but anyone who thinks that eating that food day in and day out is healthy has got rocks in their heads.

THere was a the guy, his name escapes me, that ate 2 Big Macs everday for years and according to his health records he is healthy.

I think it maybe a combonation of the foods that you eat there.

Many years ago I ate a quarter pounder w/cheese value meal there, woke up in the middle of the night VIOLENTLY ill, I mean doubled over in the fetal position on the floor in between the bathroom and the bedroom.

Maybe it was just a freak incident, but given that I have a ridiculously high tolerance for pain, it felt bad enough for me to never ever eat there again.

you're gonna love this then :

the last time i threw up anywhere other than my own bathroom at home was at highschool one day when i had food poisoning.

i couldnt stop throwing up long enough to go home .. i stayed in the washroom all day.

at one point i was in the bathroom in the nurses room when i hurled. i had to blow my nose after (like most people do) and i had to blow hard as hell because i was getting some good blockage.

so i gave it everything and WHAP !!! into the kleenex flew an entire pickle slice from a mcdonalds hamburger.

i took one look at that and puked again.


i told a guy at work that years ago and to this day he still calls me 'Pickles'
