Let’s face it, you wouldn’t be all that surprised to find a finger (or a Tonka truck or a blow-up doll or anything else for that matter) in your next heaping helping of fast food. Those “kitchens” pump out a lot of happy meals and, well, let’s be honest, the stuff could be made out of fingers for all we know. But McDonald’s doesn’t need to remind us that what we might be eating could be some guy’s pointer, pinky and thumb. But that’s exactly what this ad accomplishes. Mmmmm, save me the nail!
But, I guess it was better than the other ad campaign they were considering:
Over in Japan, McDonald’s has released something called a Mega Mac, which is like 50 beef patties and 100 slabs of cheese between two sticks of butter or something. And apparently they have one for every meal of the day (which, in my book, should include: breakfast, brunch, lunch, lupper, dinner, supper, evening snack, midnight snack and Last Call With Carson Daly snack). So some girl named Khalilah who had never had a Big Mac in her life decided to eat nothing but Mega Macs all day (she had a whopping three, big deal) and see how she felt. Here are some of her reactions:
I’m tired, with low energy, irritable, and I have an uncomfortable feeling in my stomach, with a metallic taste in my mouth after eating.
How in blazes was I to eat a hamburger that had four slices of meat, three slices of bread, a slice of cheese, and limp lettuce and pickles?
Even after the huge meal I felt no satisfaction at all. Just lazy, guilty, nauseated, and sleepy.
During this interesting but health detrimental quest, I learned that nothing beats a home cooked meal, that fast food is a definite killer, and that “you are what you eat.”
Today was a mega tired day, a mega nauseous day, and a mega upset stomach day.
C’mon Khalilah. You’re saying this like it’s a bad thing. Everyone knows what their getting when they go to McDonald’s. You’re usually going to walk into one with a raging hangover that only 12 pounds of beef/shredded newspapers and a bucket of deep fried fries can cure. Then you’re going to waddle out of there in a zombie-esque stupor and so disgusting full you will resort to guttural grunts and snorts as your only form of communication. But, your hangover will be gone and you will be considering just a “couple” Happy Hour beers after work with some friends. Then you’ll end up “accidentally” shitting your pants in a cab at 3am. And tomorrow, the cycle will continue. This is how it works for everyone, right?
A few months ago, Japan’s McDonald’s started offering something called a Mega Mac, which is a Big Mac with 4 all-beef patties instead of America’s crappy little two. This new menu item prompted some guy named Takeshi Fukuda to wonder how far this new trend in Big Macs would go.
Why does every other country have way better commercials than we do? Weirdo clowns don’t make me want to eat cheeseburgers. But hot chicks dressed up as mental patients sure do.
Debate season is in full swing, so we thought it would be a good time to take a look back at some of the most notable blunders in presidential debate history.
