The whole thing was a hilarious self-own on part of McDonald's. You'd think a huge international chain that prides itself on serving the same fatty crap at any and all hours of the day anywhere in the world would know better than to massively undersupply a promotional event.

The honey mustard dip is probably better. Or come to Malaysia, where the normal everyday McD chilli sauce is already the right combination of sweet, sour, and pretty spicy.

I tried to make sense of the first sign before I read this and I'm sorry, that may be the official answer, but they're wrong. Here's how it should go. "A juicy and delicious burger you can taste in every bite" makes no sense at all. Tiny Brontosaurus posted:because our culture reads right to left.

I natively read both left to right and right to left and that confused the hell out of me. Maybe its for people who read diagonally?

The best part is that this is the poster: I love that they made posters for every sauce as part of their "nope, we're definitely not trying to appeal to R&M fans specifically with this stunt, no sir" plausible deniability, because what every person wants hanging in their home is a Madison Avenue Faux Street Art poster dedicated to Honey Mustard Sauce.

Totally, I'm guessing the plot is a bachelor party that goes camping instead of drunken debauchery, and they all get murdered by some kind of bear worshipers. They probably did have better odds of surviving any general weekend in Vegas though.

Dick Trauma posted:Imagine what it was like working there during the Teenie Beanie Babies promotion. Shut your loving face. I worked through the very first one, and the second rush of those goddamn loving things. My hell will forever be trapped at the register while moms scream that I am ruining their lives because all we have in stock is the loving ostrich. That was the only time I ever loving cried at work, because one, I was 17, two, my parents were getting a divorce and had just told us the night before, and three, I had some soccer mom oval office scream at me for a solid five minutes while the entire full lobby went mostly silent to listen. What I remember most was how close I was to screaming back at the woman, and my manager yanked me away before I could, and sent me to the break room to calm down. And all those people didn't say a loving word while this woman called me every nasty name in the book because we were, in the last week of beanies, out of the loving husky, cat, and dolphin.

When it comes to peddling bullshit there are far bigger offenders, especially in the UK. At least they were smart enough to publish an opinion piece by the dark-skinned woman: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/oct/10/i-am-woman-racist-dove-ad-not-a-victim

The next image is the white woman turning into a very very light-skinned latina woman and Dove has a pretty long history of ads depicting their soap curing blackness so you know, maybe you could stop peddling bullshit yourself.
