Just when you thought it wasn’t going to get any stranger… Say it isn’t so! Are they running out of the correct wrapping paper for the McDoubles, at McDonald’s [MCD]? Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Are they continuing the cost-cutting even for the already-cut Double Cheeseburgers– er, McDoubles?

To top it off (you’ll see what I mean), here’s an online reprint from my second Moleskine about yet another most curious (and disappointing) major event in the history of fast-food customer service: A Funny Thing Happened at McDonald’s… When I went over to a nearby McDonald’s for a late lunch today, I was shocked [...]
Just an Ordinary Day… Yesterday, I was minding my own business, wrapping up work with the last few patients of the day, when a few hunger pangs struck. I didn’t think too much about it, but eventually once I left the office, I drove back toward home. About halfway on the trip, hunger set it [...]
Earlier today, McDonald’s [MCD] announced the 25th anniversary of the launch of their Chicken McNuggets product. It is hard to imagine the McNuggets being such an established product in McDonald’s menu, and even the thought that there was a point in the McNuggets history where there was no mustard dipping sauce… and yet, so true!

To many customers I’ve had a chance to talk with over the past several days during the promotion, as well as plenty of E-mails and IM’s [...]

It’s been more than two years since McD’s has offered the Filet-o-Fish sandwich at a reasonable price, so it’s been a long time coming. Some unnamed McD’s executives have responded in the past that, given the existence of their Dollar Menu, the [...]
Remember when I mentioned the start of McDonald’s [MCD] Monopoly game? Well, the time has come for the game to wrap up… if you haven’t punched in all of your codes online yet, you should probably get it done ASAP. Hey, don’t say I didn’t warn you!
McDonald’s [MCD] kicks off this year’s Monopoly game today. This is the brand affinity/loyalty sweepstakes game where you can obtain game tokens by purchasing certain McDonald’s food combos. If you “super-size” them, you get additional game tokens. These game tokens represent various Monopoly properties that, if you collect certain sets, can get you lots of [...]
Although this seems like a follow-up article to my last meandering about McDonald’s, it’s just extremely fortuitous. I promise! A lot of you have probably missed this promo, and the deadline is coming up FAST (7/6/2008), so here goes: McDonald’s [MCD] is running a music mixup promotion to be played for a 30-second spot using [...]
While researching the Salmonellosis alerts and updates (for example, here and here), and the various restaurants’ responses toward it (like here and here), I had occasion to explore McDonald’s site. Sure, McDonald’s has maintained a Web site (caution: watch out for the Flash!) for several years. But in keeping with the ‘times, it now offers [...]
