[youtube]6n1zBKOzuCo[/youtube] Tomato lovers rejoice!  Last week Boo brought tragic news to tomato addicts everywhere.  A number of fast food chains including the big M had pulled tomatoes from their menu indefinitely while the FDA attempted to locate the source of a tomato-related salmonella outbreak.  Although the FDA hasn’t been lucky enough to track down exactly …Read More

[youtube]_UKLncvGxQ8[/youtube] Reader adora turned me on to this series of McDonald’s ads from Japan. They’re to promote the Tomato McGrand, a sandwich that we’ve never heard of over here (for more obscure McMenu items from around the world, check out this feature I penned over at fjetsam). Of course, you can’t have a classy sandwich …Read More

Last week’s accidental return of McDonald’s Mondays was met with a surprising amount of enthusiasm, so I thought we’d try and bring it back for a little bit and see how it plays out. [youtube]SZw1lCPVbtY[/youtube] This weeks entry lets me showcase one of my favorite pieces of freeware gaming: Line Rider. Line Rider is a …Read More

[youtube]DQ_VKAooCjo&NR=1[/youtube] Ok, ok — so we’re not really bringing McDonald’s Mondays back. But I stumbled across this clip on YouTube today and couldn’t help but want to share in the silliness. The best part? Ronald is having nothing to do with it. Now that’s a clown who has his priorities straight.

It’s funny how some images can mean one thing to one person and another thing to another. Take this Ronald statue from Thailand located right next to the drive-thru. I’m willing to bet that from the time of imagination to the time of production and placement, not one Thai citizen thought that Ronald McDonald standing …Read More

Disappointingly, I don’t have something funny to offer for this weeks McDonald’s Monday — just something really really cool. Lot’s of different regions have different promotions and events, and in Hawaii? Some McD’s have Karaoke Night. How cool/bizarre is that? It seems like the perfect combination — now that I think about it, I don’t …Read More

[youtube]eLmwElcaF7c[/youtube] With yesterday being Canada Day and all, I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate our great nation than with a McDonald’s post featuring the greats of our great national pastime. Unfortunately, they haven’t made any MickeyD’s ads about curling or lacrosse, so we’ve had to stick with boring old hockey. I think …Read More

[youtube]TSTWqRkBN74[/youtube] I LOVE the web show “Will it Blend?” In case you’re not familiar with the concept (and really, doesn’t the title say it all?) Will it Blend is an actual promotional video series for the Blendtec series of blenders. In it, they blend everything from tiki torches and garden hoses to chicken soup and …Read More

[youtube]Cp3Cs3tDuR8[/youtube] Most of you have probably never heard of Wesley Willis. I certainly hadn’t until today. Wesley Willis was an interesting individual — a diagnosed schizophrenic, Wesley became something of an internet sensation rather late in his short life with a string of literally thousands of short but catchy tunes showcasing his completely tone-deaf poetry-and-rhyme …Read More

I seriously think I may have found my new favorite blog. Celebrities Eating is, as the name would suggest, a blog about celebrities eating. They collect ever picture they can of A-list stars and starlets shoving their faces full of food, and who can blame them? It’s nice to know Nicole Richie, despite her blatant …Read More

For years I’d been told that this is the way Egg McMuffin’s were made, and when I saw them use one of these egg logs in Clerks II it felt like a confirmation of sorts. But it turns out I was wrong! Out of curiousity, I asked a McManager the other day and they assured …Read More

[youtube]5sw2OvIgoO8[/youtube] This one goes out to all my homies. Word to your mothers and so on. It’s hard to not be amused by a man teasing the drive-thru box — but rapping his order at it? That’s priceless. Interesting fact. I can go to any McDonald’s drive thru in North America, say “It’s Jim,” and …Read More

[youtube]ihJeRY2i7Bk[/youtube] “I’ll make you a hamburger better than McDonald’s.” “Better than McDonalds??” It may be hard for you to remember back this far, but there was a time somewhere between the invention of the wheel and the election of George Bush the First when Eddie Murphy was funny. Really funny. Like – genius funny. During …Read More

[youtube]mYyDXH1amic[/youtube] Normally we’re quite pro-McDix around here on McDonald’s Mondays, however, in an effort to provide fair and mcbalanced coverage (and in an effort to showcase something really cool) we present The Bionic Burger. While the first part of this video is a re-creation and the last part of the video is fact-based slander, it’s …Read More

[youtube]1pO7xdh4BXE[/youtube] If ever there was a time that Ronald McDonald looked like John Wayne Gacy, this was it. This commercial aired in the Washingtion area in 1971, eight years after Ronald’s debut. As you can see, by ’71 he began to look a little more like the clown we know and love today. Still — …Read More
