Come to think of it when was the last time McDonalds ran an add that was like come here because our food is delicious?

Their website is just lists of questions people have about their food like "is it made of slime" and "how awful do the cows die" and there's no positive spin on the front of it, it's like they took Dominos strategy but forgot to pretend there's good stuff going on to change it

i always thought it was pretty funny that their food is just snouts and assholes but they're continually raising their prices anyways

i still go there since i can get a gallon of unsweetened iced tea* for a dollar and it manages to not taste like soap

* - may not be actual tea

The dude sniffing the beer in the beginning with the hosed up hipster mustache is so great. Budweiser is piss but this is a pretty good troll commercial.

You guys see that new build your own perfect burger? They just implemented it near my work. It's a waste of time. You tell them the type of bread, meat, addendums, etc. They're trying too hard.

i see budweiser is taking the republican stance of "tell everyone who isn't already your customer to gently caress off and die in a fire, then have your company die when the baby boomers start dropping like flies"

The best part of that commercial is that Anheuser-Busch InBev just purchased a Seattle-based brewery (Elysian) that makes a Pumpkin Peach Ale late in January.

pretty sure leffe does standard belgian-type beers- they may have made a lambic at some point I don't know about


but yeah InBev, Miller/Coors/Molson/Whoeverelsetheybought and like every other big brewing/booze conglomerate has been buying up the craft guys wherever they can because it's like the only growth sector in the beer market

so wanting people to be nice and happy is commendable and all but consider the folloiwing scenarios

so like what is a customer rolls up and orders a couple double quarter pounders and the cashier says "oh your payment today is that you just have to call your dad up and tell him you love him!! :) " but the customer's dad died four days ago from cancer, or the customer's dad abused the gently caress out of him as a child


or the cashier is like "to pay for your mc chickens you need to promise to give your family hugs!!" but the customer was abandoned as an infant and was raised by the state and is a violent emotionless sociopath

hosed up and riddled with pitfalls imo.....

sounds like a nice promo
