McDonald’s lettuce growing billboard

Green lettuce was planted on a specially designed billboard to form the words “fresh salads.” The ad first appeared in Chicago 2007 as part of a McDonlads promotion for their fresh salads.

Most reports say the salad sign held up well since bird and other potential pests didn't have a place to perch to bother
most of the plants.

Salads at McDonalds are always weird, weirder if they have chicken in them. Newmans Own dressings still getting top billing for the salads, too. Wondering if this salad craze will last through the value meal wars.

Belly Up to The Whopper Bar

Cool new flagship store idea from BK.

The creepy 'King plans to open several more coming year, although most will be in destination places like City Walk in Orlando, Florida, Munich, Singapore, and Los Angeles.

Company says it would be a good concept for cruise ships, casinos or stadiums.

Better idea than Whopper Virgins...


Thanks dangerboy!

Whopper Virgins

OK, this isn't the Whopper Virgins picture.

Here's the full "documentary"



Stacy Peralta, legendary skateboarder, directed this series, but I'm going to chalk up the crappy marketing effort to whoever is handling this account now.

A better version here
Creepy King continues to skeeve me out.

Quarter Pounder Restaurants

Stand alone "Quarter Pounder" Restaurants are popping up in Japan--probably to promote the QP, a distinctly American burger, that does not regularly appear on Japanese McDonald's menus!

But wait! it's a big secret! Shhhh!

Uncrustables are Worse than Not Eating

Sorry, Smuckers. These bastard sandwiches are for lazy people. Not just people who are too busy but for those with money to waste and no sense of economy or taste!

It's a frickin peanut butter sandwich--premade. They serve these in county jail, according to a former co-worker who was on work furlough. Even the inmates didn't like them very much!

Thaw peanut butter? It just sounds wrong

The "bread" is supposed to be soft enough where kids don't think there is a crust--hence Uncrustables. Arguably, crusts aren't the best part of a sandwich, but really, this whole thing is crust. The bread was almost rubbery. More like Unedibles.

But how lazy do you have to be to not have time to make a f-ing peanut butter sandwich? Get out bread 4.6 seconds, dip knife into peanut butter jar, 2.1 seconds, spread peanut butter. PB could be slightly cool so doesn't spread easily immediately, so being generous, 10 seconds to spread. Jelly optional and easier to spread, say 8 seconds. Put other half of bread on top 1 second. Less than 30 seconds for sure. If you have to make 2 sandwiches, then it's only a few more seconds to spread more PB.

Lets just say that my kids who will eat Peanut Butter sandwiches just about anytime won't even eat these horrible things. The "grilled cheese" style is also awful and the toaster pocket works for crap.


Don't even have to mention how environmentally wasteful these are either with two layers of packaging. It's just a product for lazy people who don't care what food tastes like. I feel sorry for not only the kids who have to eat these but for the lazy morons who think they are saving any time at all by buying Uncrustables.

Bring Back Super Size!

I'll need 200 hundred ketchup packets please!

HUGE MAC!
