Now THAT'S a McDonald's!
Now THAT'S a McDonald's!
McDonald's has to be the best study in terrible back lash marketing.
"Ronald is encouraging kids to eat fast food? We'll get him being active and add healthy options for kids"
"Ronald is still encouraging kids into obesity? Even though parents have buying power? Ok no or little Ronald ever again"
" A documentary caught us upselling like any other business literally ever made? OK we'll kill that"
"Menu has too many options ? Let's go all Gordon Ramsay and keep it to like five things"
" Not working ? Ok well let's have all day breakfast and add limited time offerings" ( last one not a bad one actually)
I could make like 30 of these
Every other fast food restaurant at least seems to understand the customer and how to market it's brand. McDonald's basically throws shit to the wall and rarely sticks
To be fair this includes all the oldest fast food places who were forced to only show kids eating the healthy food before not being allowed to even show that much anymore. That chicken tendies chain Raising Cains actually has a kid ordering tendies in a commercial though and I don't know how that doesn't count as the same thing."Ronald is encouraging kids to eat fast food?

lol no; I actually stopped eating there for a few months because they stretched the time that breakfast runs to like 11:30 the one time I craved them again. I always found that breakfast at a fast food joint sucks shit in terms of value for what you get (you pay more for less usually given you get less sides and a smaller entree), and McD's is probably the biggest offender. It'd just be better to go elsewhere (Hardee's has a better value to what you get for example) or make a quick screw-it meal if needed (which I've had to do a lot of).What's saving this restaurant is breakfast. They actually need to do what you're saying they supposedly did. They need to nail the menu down to a few core items and do them incredibly well. Pretty much every rising fast food chain has that model.

Anyone else who have the guilty pleasure to see some clips of what I could call "McFight" or "McBrawl" when we see a Youtube clip showing a fight or brawl erupt in a McDonald's?

Which is why the only smart move they made in years was allowing 24 hour breakfast. Goddamn does a bacon McMuffin taste good after a long night drinking...
