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 with his hands clasped together would ever be considered offensive — and yet if you were to put this outside a North American McDonald’s, a lot of Christians would be up in arms!

Funny little world, isn’t it?

Mark your calendar folks, Timmy’s is offering a free “Iced coffee with cream and sugar, or whichever way you like it” on Thursday July 19, 2007.

 Update:

This is a US only deal. Thanks Destiny and Shop for pointing this out and shame on Tim Horton’s for providing freebies to Americans only after all the support and love it gets from Canadians.

Not the highest quality of SD cards but a pretty good deal for $19.97. A 2GB SD card did go on sale for $20 at DELL’s last Days of Deals so $20 is not impossible but it’s still a good buy.

It’s about time! Tim Horton’s, welcome to the 21st century!

Finally Timmy’s will (or has already at some locations)  start accepting payments other than cash.  I’ve lost count of the number of times that I avoided Tim Horton’s simply because I didn’t have enough cash on me. I’m usually the guy in front of you in line at the grocery store express checkout, paying for my two items with a debit/credit card 😛 Tim Horton’s was almost the only reason I carried around cash. I personally welcome this change but I also understand why some might resent it. I can imagine how this change may slow down paying and lead to long lineups during the morning breakfast rush, especially when some people take forever to sign their credit card or enter their pin. We’ll see how well this new system goes. In the meantime the first and only electronic payment method will be Master Card. If you don’t have one you can apply for President Choice’s free Master Card. It comes with additional benefits such as point towards grocery shopping, etc.

Came across this useful piece of advice by matrix82 on the forum:

Hey guys,

make sure that your address is up to date with your shoppers optimum card as from time to time they send out samples, currently they are sending out a nice little thing to females, that contained a ton of bonus point coupons for various items, a package of shiver gum, some ouchless hairpins, a sample of the biore nose strip, sunsilk sample and dollar off coupon, biotherm sample.

About a week ago I recieved a venus razor from shoppers in the mail as well. Its always good to make sure you address is up to date with them. I believe its a randomized selection of people to get the samples.

How creative and unique! If all ads were of that quality we wouldn’t need TiVo.

This is an in-store Carlton Cards promotion only and no coupon is necessary. Buy 3 cards gets 3 of equal or less value for free.

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 think I could ever croon old Duran Duran tunes again without the smell of a Big Mac wafting in the air.

What about your local McDix? Do any of your stores have wild and wacky promotions or events?

McDonald’s Mondays is a weekly series of posts written by our own Jim Squires that initially appears on his pop culture blog fjetsam.com.

Jack and Meg of White Stripes surprised their fans by showing up on a Winnipeg Transit bus and playing Wheels on the Bus, and Hotel Yorba! What An awesome surprise! Sorry I don’t mean to be rude but I wish the people on the bus would shut up and listen to the music.
