Title: Are you McLovin it?
Post by: Tiger Wench on February 02, 2015, 05:14:40 PM
So here's the new McDonald's promo alluded to last night during the SB:

Quote
NEW YORK (MYFOXNY) - You may not need your wallet to pay for your next meal at McDonald's.

Starting Monday and running through Valentine's Day -- some McDonald's customers will have the opportunity to pay for their meals by performing various 'acts of love'.

For example -- instead of paying for a Big Mac -- you may be asked to call your mom and tell her that you love her.

Lunch may require you to hug someone -- and you may be asked to dance for your dinner.

The campaign is outlined in a new commercial that aired during the Super Bowl.  The ad made a "winners" list put together by the Associated Press.

McDonald's has been seeking to increase sales as it has seen a slump over recent quarters.


UPDATE:

McDonald's is treating the promotion as a contest. It has posted rules on its website.  On most days, five or fewer people per location will get their meal for free.

So - just for the fun of the game, let's assume that you would actually eat at McDonald's.  Say that you were on a trip somewhere and this was literally the only place to eat and you are starving.  And the thing popped up where you could do some act of love and get your meal for free?

Do you do it?  Or does some hapless McDonald's employee get the "Hell no, just give me my damn food." treatment?

As for me?  It's Option B.  I would rather pay the $5 for two tiny burgers no onions, small fries and a bottle of water than have some stupid video of me doing some stupid shit go viral on the Internet.

Well, if it meant hugging the hot girl with major league yabo's standing next to me, I'm gettin' a free Happy Meal.

And BTW, I lived half my college career on Quarter Pounders w/cheese, large fries and medium cokes.  The other half was next door at Wendy's for a Double w/cheese, mayo, ketchup and mustard, large fries and medium coke.

It was all about nutrition in my day.  That set the foundation for how I wound up with the ripped and tone body I have today.  That and CVD pizzas.

I would say spending $5.00 and McDonald's and not getting your onions is, well.............

I find it sad that you spent 100% of your time eating Wendy's and McDonalds when there were .99 Chicken Italians from Findley's, Brand X Pizza, and Guthrie's near by.  Not to mention cheap ass grilled cheese sandwiches from the Flush.

I would twerk on camera for a 99 cent Chicken Italian.

And Brand X Pizza's number was 334-826-2600.  I'd give my name and they'd go "Oh hey!! The usual?"

I was a Tenda Chik girl instead of Guthries. Crinkle cut fries win out.

I didn't know that there were restaurants in Auburn then. Didn't everyone carry their books with a leather strap wrapped around them and everyone was in one classroom, like on the Walton's?

We had a wood burning stove in the middle of the room.  I also got to wipe down the chalk board and dust the erasers for a whole semester.

Is Tenda Chick good?  Always thought about trying it but Guthries is next door and I always go there.

Either the quarters were so long that they were actually as long as a semester today or Snags is a complete enigma. I'll bet his name isn't really even Snags.

I'm pretty sure East Alabama Male College was on the semester system.

The attendant at a local Mc Ds.comped me a free meal at 2PM on Manday. Just a promotional according to her, no idiocy required. Honestly try to avoid the place but sometimes it is just there and that convenient for filler until dinnertime comes around.

Same here. I needed breakfast yesterday and as there are no vegan, free range, organic coffee shops nearby, who could prepare my usual commune-farmed herbivore medley wrap... or a Hardees, I settled for McD's. I did have to call the skirt for a quick ILY though.

I had to call her immediately afterward as well, to clarify that quick outburst wasn't because I was standing on a bridge about to jump or anything, but I got my free damn biscuit.

No.  Tenda Chik had crinkle cut fries.  The one in Montgomery doesn't serve them anymore - don't know about the one in Auburn, but they did back in the day.

You know I was kind wondering if someone was gonna say something.  I have eaten at Tenda Chick but it was 15+ years ago, I don't really remember the fries.   

However I do know that Guthries had crinkle cut fries.

Two all-beef patties, special Snaggle sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.

My biggest thing was that Guthrie's did not have honey mustard and Tenda Chik did.  And Tenda Chik's was homemade.  I don't like the "thousand island with spices in it" sauce at either place.

And yes, the TC fries were crinkle cut back in the day - I was very disappointed that the one in Montgomery has gone to nasty fries.

But I have to be honest - Raising Canes is by far the superior chicken finger on the market today.  Plus they have pellet ice like at Sonic AND crinkle cut fries AND homemade honey mustard.    #winning

TC in Auburn went to nasty fries too.  Popped my TC cherry yesterday and I was disappointed about that.

It is only a prescribed amount of pepper. Which happens to be the same amount of garlic salt....

If you didn't know I prefer honey mustard on my chicken fingers, I'm not sure you ever knew me. 

I know that I may be the only person on the planet that doesn't like Guthrie's sauce and I am okay with that.  I am a one woman wolfpack.  More honey mustard for me.
