evidence that trousersnake has failed to live up to expectations?

new slogan: "why yes we would like some fries with that shake, but mcdonald's eliminated the supersize option."

they don't need the money - maybe trying to set a better example by NOT endorsing junk food and suggesting kids eat healthier food may have been wiser? mind you i had a Big Mac last week but not because Justin told me to...

oh, you lie.

Steady diet of McDonald's = Density's Child

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Friday, 8 October 2004 12:04 (twenty years ago)

Evil will prevail:

The corporation made the announcement yesterday (October 6) and revealed the decision is a bid to expand the brand’s appeal amongst children, and their mothers.

Global Chief Marketing Officer for the hamburger chain, Larry Light, said: "We believe this appeals to kids, and when kids are happy Mom is happy."

Will they actually be dressing up as Ronald McDonald, Hamburglar and Grimace?

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 8 October 2004 12:20 (twenty years ago)

Kids are happiest when they're in front of a Playstation with a pillowcase full of halloween candy a quart of Coke -- if that makes Mom happy we've got a problem.

― Mark (MarkR), Friday, 8 October 2004 12:21 (twenty years ago)

A-fucking-men to that. :(

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Friday, 8 October 2004 12:28 (twenty years ago)

Why is it that threads like these make me want to run into a school and stuff Big Macs down the throats of every child there? That isn't a rational reaction.

Maybe the child inside of you has died?

― Mark (MarkR), Friday, 8 October 2004 13:09 (twenty years ago)

yeah - mcdonalds-baiting is pretty boring...

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 8 October 2004 13:10 (twenty years ago)

It's a good thing Ralph Nader didn't get bored with GM-baiting.

― Mark (MarkR), Friday, 8 October 2004 13:12 (twenty years ago)

oh whatever - things like "supersize me" (and i imagine nader's entire watchdog career) are great, because theyre at least SOMEWHAT OBJECTIVE, and considered. thats very different from everybody in the whole world, having kneejerk reactions to mcdonalds-mentions.

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 8 October 2004 13:20 (twenty years ago)

McDonald's sucks. Destiny's Child sucks. Fuck objectivity.

cmon man, mcnuggets are so fucking delicious with honey mustard sauce.

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 8 October 2004 13:33 (twenty years ago)

I'm not a big Mcfan but if I do not get my 2 cheeseburger fix once a month I will die.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 8 October 2004 13:37 (twenty years ago)

Die of nutrition.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 8 October 2004 13:37 (twenty years ago)

McNuggets taste like months-old cardboard marinated in batshit.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 8 October 2004 13:39 (twenty years ago)

I'll eat the fuck out of some McGriddles though.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 8 October 2004 13:39 (twenty years ago)

And Beyonce, too.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 8 October 2004 13:40 (twenty years ago)

hahahaha - "ts: mcnuggets vs. beyonce" is a real fuckin tough one for me.

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 8 October 2004 13:41 (twenty years ago)

How does the taste of fresh cardboard differ to months-old cardboard?

― ___ (___), Friday, 8 October 2004 13:42 (twenty years ago)

"McNuggets taste like months-old cardboard marinated in batshit."

Don't be ridiculous.

You mean guano.

McNuggets taste like months-old cardboard marinated in guano.

I'd pick Beyonce as long as I can still get the honey dip.

Insteading of asking to be supersized, you'll just request some "food extensions." See also, "Would you like a weave with that?"

― mottdeterre (mottdeterre), Friday, 8 October 2004 16:59 (twenty years ago)

maybe they want more people to relate more to their new single

― adrienne, Friday, 8 October 2004 17:18 (twenty years ago)

I'm actually kind of excited to hear their take on "I'm Lovin It"!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 8 October 2004 17:19 (twenty years ago)

Isn't "I'm Lovin' It" a Timberlake original, though?

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 8 October 2004 17:36 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, but I believe they're keeping it as the title of the campaign, so maybe we'll hear a Rodney Jenkins produced version!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 8 October 2004 17:40 (twenty years ago)

The weird thing about "I'm Lovin' It" is that it's a ripoff of a discontinued Pepsi jingle, "Pa pa pa pa pa... The joy of cola."

Weirder still is that I personally know the guy who wrote that jingle. His name is Clifford... he got a platinum disc out of it, because the Spice Girls actually put a long version of the jingle on their last album.

four months pass...

music-related spam! (on this thread at least)

― blackmail.is.my.life (blackmail.is.my.life), Sunday, 6 March 2005 04:16 (twenty years ago)

eight months pass...

Oh fuck right off with that stuff.

Has anyone seen that ad for the Ronald McDonald house?
"we can't all contribute to Ronald McDonald House like Destiny's Child, but here's how you can help..." Something very self-aggrandizing about it...

― D.I.Y. U.N.K.L.E. (dave225.3), Monday, 14 November 2005 16:33 (nineteen years ago)

Something very self-aggrandizing about it..

Yeah, `cos normally they're so humble, aren't they.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 14 November 2005 16:37 (nineteen years ago)

bahaheh! It is a charity though.. If McD are good at anything, it should be marketing.

― D.I.Y. U.N.K.L.E. (dave225.3), Monday, 14 November 2005 16:40 (nineteen years ago)

WHAT THE FUCK is up with the little pinky hook thing that McDonalds' is trying to force into popular culture? Are we really meant to believe that hooking your pinky really means "Let's go get a fucking big mac?" Has anyone seen anyone actually do this in real life? I swear the first time I see someone do that I will douse them with gasoline and throw them into a bonfire.

― kyle (akmonday), Monday, 14 November 2005 16:41 (nineteen years ago)

The whole "I"m Lovin' It" campagin makes me want to choke on a McNugget.
