Free Wi-Fi is great and all, but it’s sort of expected these days, especially from big chains. I want to know what else they can offer me.
Did you know that McDonald’s isn’t only offering free Wi-Fi, but they’re also going to provide the new and exclusive Wi-Fri service. More fries in more places! This genius ad spot is sure to turn some hungry heads.
In another effort to win back customer trust, McDonald’s, which still remains tainted by science revelations, the much publicized “Super Size Me” documentary and their murder of Billy Mays via a full-on attack of the cardio-region, is planning to unveil ChargePoint electric car chargers, at least at one location so far.
I’m not sure of of what the correlation is between electrical car owners and their frequency fast food eating, but I imagine that ratio would have to be pretty high for this plan to be a success. The eco-McDonald’s is scheduled to open in Cary, North Carolina, of all places, on July 14th.
HEY THERE! LOOK, TO CELEBRATE THE LIFE OF BILLY MAYS (MAY HE REST IN PEACE), WE’RE POSTING THIS VIDEO OF HIM ORDERING A SHITLOAD OF FOOD FROM MCDONALDS! AND THAT’S NOT ALL! YOU’LL ALSO SEE HIM WHIP OUT TONS OF HUNDRED DOLLAR BILLS IN HIS BENTLEY CONTINENTAL/ARNAGE/WHO CARES?! WOW! IT MUST BE FUCKING AWESOME TO HAVE THAT MUCH CASH AND BE BILLY MAYS! FREE SHIPPING INCLUDED! GODDAMN!
Before you argue that McDonalds is not tech-related, check at your waistline.
Now that that’s settled, let’s talk burger. McDonalds is trying a radical new concept of selling in Japan. See, it just brought the Quarter Pounder over and in an effort to promote it better and more efficiently, two McDonalds stores were rebranded into Quarter Pounder only stores. You’ll see no golden arches or mention of Micky Ds here. The menu includes two items: a Quarter Pounder with Cheese and a (wait for it!) Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese. All cups and packaging include the words “QUARTER POUNDER”, further adding mystique to this radical fast food concept.
McDonalds calls it viral. I call it delicious.
