We’ve had it up to here with McDonald’s and their latest ad campaign– Any size coffee for 69 cents. You’ve seen the multiple television spots, many/all of them national buys. You’ve also heard the saturation radio advertising. “Any size McDonald’s coffee for just 69 cents,” they all say.
Do you think we can get a cup of McDonald’s coffee for 69 cents?!?!? NO!
The Male Half is the only member of the staff currently drinking java and he has gone into at least a half-dozen McDonald’s since the promotion began– in all different parts of the country– and each time they look at him like he has three heads. What the hell is going on there? Sure, the ads say the offer is valid “at participating locations only,” but since when do any of these franchises not participate in nationally-advertised campaigns? Not only are they not participating, but they claim to have zero knowledge of the campaign!
Has anyone else experienced this?
