Your street corner pusher doesn't have to take out full page newspaper ads and buy superbowl time to sell his crack, he'll get the customers anyway.

The only time you need to advertise something if it is something that people won't want unless you have a major persuasive campaign.

I saw a bizarre commercial with Ronald McDonald dancing with some kids on Cartoon Network not long ago. Don't recall any food being shown.

I cringe everytime my kids say they want to go to McDonald's. Yuck!

If you made burgers and fries like that, would YOU tell anyone about it?



Didn't think so.

I'll give you the reason why McDonald's have heavily changed their advertising: the PR fallout from the movie SuperSize Me. And you won't see it change to something else anytime soon.

Mind you, ever since I discovered In-N-Out Burger I don't go to McDonald's anymore.

Busted.

They don't need to advertise those items. It's what they sell the most.

Anyone remember the last time they saw a McDonalds advertisement for their Big Macs, Quarter Pounders with cheese, french fries, egg mcmuffins, etc.? You know, all the unhealthy stuff that made life worth living?

Ugh. The only one of those that's any good is the fries.

Who doesn't know you can get burgers, shakes, and fries at McD? Their commercials are focused on giving people other reasons to come to their store -- whether it is for a "healthy" alternative or for a new or improved product (like the chicken strips -- sooooo much better than the mystery-meat McNuggets).

Wasting their time advertising the basics would be like Exxon running commercials saying that they sell gasoline.

I heard a radio ad recently that had dialogue between a female and male. The female repeatedly said, "Oh my God . . ." I have no idea what McDonalds' product they were promoting. I couldn't get over the "Oh my God . . ." stuff.

[Cedar]

They should still post the number of burgers sold too.

What, would it be up to 672 billion by now?

Ronald MacDonald Charged With Robbing Wendy's

[MinuteGal]

The food whackos forced MacDonald's into carrying all that rabbit food 'n health stuff. These tasteless treats have proved so wildly popular that the company has to spend millions on ads promoting them so they don't rot away in their coolers.
