Neat link, thanks. There are some pretty funky McD's out there.
Glad you liked them. They came out of someone sending me some photos of their travels. I rely on McDonalds in my summer travels in Europe since I miss ice the most and McDonald's is one of the places you can find it.
One of the pleasures of traveling is to try new food and absorb the culture. Don't tell any travel enthusiasts you travel and eat at McDonald's, you'll get lynched lol Ice isn't really a thing in Europe as it is seen as a con as with ice you only actually get a three quarters of drink in your cup.
I come pretty clean with my Euro-McDonalds. For 15 summers I've taken groups of University students to Europe to paint and draw. It's a running joke that Prof. Ray-ray (their nickname for me) will run into Micky D's to get his ice. It's also part of my tourist speech-bathroom strategy as well since they often have the most available restrooms.
Ding ding ding. Disney's deal with McDonald's required them to run 11 promotions a year. Seemed like a great idea in 1996 coming off of hits like the Lion King and Toy Story. Not so great when the future has Treasure Planet, Home on the Range and Chicken Little in store for you. Disney did a great job of spinning the breakup to be about them trying to be health-conscious and concerned about childhood obesity but I'm sure McDonald's was just as eager, if not more eager, to end the relationship.
Bigger company with far better brand recognition. Ronald McDonald is one of the most recognizable brand icons amongst children.
Behold: The least-appetizing McDonalds ad in the history of ever.
Not sure what is worse....the fact that it more-or-less implies that McDonalds is the equivalent of eating a lizard carcass, or the "speckled" look of the poster...which happens to be in red and thus looks like blood splatter.
And I especially love the Carnotaurus one that looks like he just had his mind completely blown.
Only reinforces my belief that the Carno was intentionally designed to look like a total pothead from his inception. Perhaps a better title would be "Food, Fangs, and Four-Twenty".
