A dog line bred for money despite being so mutated that it requires cesarian sections to give birth and can barely breathe at the best of times leading to a short and pained lifespan. Put down your deposit now only $5000.

Has anyone ever used the Codsworth or whatever "assistant" on Samsung phones that I only know is there because sometimes I accidentally swipe right on the whatever screen?

Do you think the owner purchased 5 super-sized fries, ate them all, and slid the pups into the greasy cardboard fry container, or do they somehow have an "in" at the restaurant and can get fresh unused fry holders? I can smell greased dog in this picture, and it's not good.

They got a custom made t-shirt for the dog. No reason why they wouldn't have made some boxes for the puppies.

Buying a t-shirt with words on it is one thing but those jackets look fairly legit, although it could be thick paper stock I suppose. If I were that bulldog person I'd go to my local restaurant (no mask of course) and imply to the manager that a certain dead president would like to see a few name-branded cardboard fry containers...

Do the boxes look like that somewhere? Around here they have a yellow fringe on the top, so sovereign citizens can eat them I guess.



e: Oh and the cut of the top is way different, looks like.

Well it's been a while since I've gorged on that particular item but I'm seeing a lot of variation on fry box styles with an image search. The ones in the dog picture are reminiscent of my childhood, no yellow stripe, but I admit they could be reproductions. What a photo op though idea though. I would never think puppies + brand = hilarity, but here I am commenting on it so I guess the idea of the thing penetrated my psychic barrier, good job.

I've also heard that some people drug their pets and otherwise abuse them to get these types of photos for money/engagement/likes, so I hope that's not the case here and they are just peacefully sleeping. :unsmith:

You'd think such a big brand would have standardized loving everything but then I saw a McDonalds in Macao with inverted colours (red on yellow) so I guess not. (They do a chicken burger with a spicy sauce in China that I don't think they do here. It was p deece.)

Also I don't think you need to drug dogs that small to get them to sleep for a photo.

I’m not saying they’re drugged, but I am saying that I’ve handled puppies and it’s hard enough to get them into one basket and snap a photo before they escape, let alone individual cups.

It is officially branded as Maccas there, yes.

Also while verifying that I found this fun corporate website

quote:

Our vision & values
Our corporate values appear in everyday working life and guide our strategic direction and corporate planning.

We place the customer experience at the core of all we do
We are committed to our people
We believe in the McDonald’s System
We operate our business ethically
We give back to our communities
We grow our business profitably
We strive continually to improve

I too believe in the McDonald's System

Also the word "values" is a link, which is broken :allears:

Searching for "McDonald's System" gives conflicting results, it's either the first corporation Ray Croc founded, or the system of franchising, or whatever the hell these flash cards are talking about :

"Macca's" refers to burger king because the burger king name was already taken in Australia. McDonalds is called Hungry Jack's, or "Hungry Jacca's" colloquially.

Meanwhile in the social democrat utopia of Jacinda Ardern's New Zealand we have a single McDonald's restaurant that each citizen (making the responsible consumer choice of their own accord) visits only once per year as a treat, of course opting for the apple slices and water instead of the fries and coke. But we call it Macca's here.

Conversely, there's a lovely burger chain in Ireland called Supermac's which was sued by McDonalds, who then successfully countersued, and the end result is that McDonalds corporation lost automatic exclusivity on the trademarks "Big Mac" and ",Mc-" prefix across the whole EU. Lol.

The owner of Supermac's is himself a shithead, but the schadenfreude is delicious. You come to Ireland and try to take our surname prefix, you best not miss
