Somehow not satire.
Why are they cross promoting a violent mature streaming series and a children’s meal?
Whoever gave this a green light should be beaten about the head with an inflatable squeaky hammer until unconscious.
It’s not a Happy Meal, it’s an adult box meal.
Ok, that makes more sense.
I saw the tiny drink and small portion size, as an American, and could not wrap my mind around that being anything other than a kid’s meal, because that is a kid’s meal here. Obviously my understanding of a “reasonable” meal is twice the size as what an actual reasonable size is.
I wonder why there is no mention of the price?
lol
Here you go, here’s the price. It’s a bit overpriced for what you get in the meal but it’s about the same as any other meal deal they have.
4,000 kj?! That’s something like half an adult daily intake. Plus it’s awful for you, has little nutrition. You’ll just feel hungry again after a short time.
They don’t advertise a price because it changes from store-to-store, dependant on demand, stock levels and staffing levels.
I’m just glad they’re not advertising to kids
Wasn’t the original Squid Game a social commentary, a critique of inequalities created by capitalism in South Korea kind of like Parasite? Anyone else think it completely went over the heads of Mr Beast, Netflix, McDonalds and most of the viewers?
They made an actual reality show competition with prizing based on squid game. It’s all just aesthetics to these people.
Something, something, Torment Nexus
Exactly.
I wonder what their reaction would be to a tv show where a bunch of CEOs were forced to compete to the death to entertain the masses.
Would that get a McDonald’s merch tie in? I think seeing private healthcare and fast food CEO’s being mown down by machine guns in a battle royale would be a real crowd pleaser.
all the fast food places are desperately trying to get people to buy their product that they can no longer afford.
'Dare To Play’ demonstrates McDonald’s continued commitment to pushing the boundaries of customer engagement through immersive, cross-platform experiences.
Was this article written by the McDonald’s marketing department?
Most articles these days copy large sections from press-releases, yeah. Especially trade outlets.
Here’s the page on the McDonald’s site for comparison: https://mcdonalds.com.au/newsroom/step-squid-game-maccas-new-meal
