McDonalds is the stupid

      7 Comments on McDonalds is the stupid

I just noticed the advertising on this cup from McDonalds. In case you can’t make it out, it says,

open ’til midnight or later
at participating McDonalds

Parsing this for semantic value, what have we learned? Some McDonalds are open until midnight. And some are open later. And some are open not that late. Which covers all possibilities. Somehow, I don’t think I needed this bit of cup advertising to know this.

    That reminds me of how a lot of stores, restaurants, etc. in New Zealand advertise their hours as “10am ’til Late” Oh so useful!

    Heh, well
    no matter HOW OPEN they are at whatever time…my income remains closed to giving them business.

    Nah, I don’t hate them or anything…just I don’t generally eat fast food well except Burgerville like once every 2 months =)

      Mostly I agree with you, but the McD stop came late at night after too much fun out on the town. Do you know the Randy Newman song, “The One You Love”? Valuable words for every person smitten with a girl.

      You’ve got to learn to get to know the one you love.
      To anticipate her ev’ry move,
      you got to know exactly what she’s thinking of.
      She may be hungry but she won’t say.
      You better get a burger or something in her right away.
      If you don’t, you’re gonna pay
      at the hand of the one you love.

      My attorney has advised me to make no further comment.

        oh I know all about late night WHAT IS OPEN?? syndrome…and I am not perfect…sometimes (not often) I just have to have a Jack in the box Chocolate Shake

        I am not familiar with that song, but I will try to remember it if I ever become smitten with a girl 😉 though for now I am still quite happily smitten with mah boy

        you mentioned food pron? I do recall you are a cook of sorts. If you ever have a BBQ or foodly get together on the weekend and feel like inviting us, I can bake up some sweet yum yums and come on by

    How about the food labels that say “Includes Natural and Artificial flavors”.

    What the hell other kinds of flavors are there to include?
