BTW, when they did the first Canadian edition of Who Wants to be a Millionaire, and we had a dollar worth only slightly above 60 cents US, someone actually worked it out that despite the conversion, a Canadian winner would make more than an American winner due to how much was lost in taxes. Food for thought. Or something.
Its started off as a big scam to sell more food, then turned into a fad for the McDs franchise
No one ever wins this shit

lol, i believe this
Not to mention here at the one in Wenatchee all the employees speak Spanish as a 1st language and most of them I swear only speak Spanish!
Spanish is an easy language to learn, Erik
Edit: Roughly half the customers I get where I work speak Spanish natively. It benefits me quite greatly to know what mediocre amount of Spanish I can speak. Although...they are in our country, they should speak our language...but that's another topic
Or Finnish for that matter...Ugh, that was tough...
I never tried learning Finnish, though it does somewhat interest me (a couple of my favorite bands are from Finland)...
BTW, if you're referring to Finntroll, their lyrics are actually in Swedish. Might want to keep that in mind
Me too...that's why I attempted it. Unfortunately it's tough to learn a language when you don't actively use it.

Nope, the two I was referring to are Nightwish (only one or two songs actually in Finnish) and Sonata Arctica (I don't think any of their songs are in Finnish)...
wow i just threw a boardwalk away bummer
jk I usally just throw the stuff away without looking
McDonalds is one place I will never go to. One time I ordered a double cheese, got that bitch home and they didnt even put any meat patties on it. All I got was a fuckin bun.
Classic!! Something about the way you posted that made me snort out loud, hehe

Woah, didn't know either of them were Finnish. I was thinking maybe Korpiklaani or something

you weren't on Monona drive in madison were ya?
the Same thing happened to me a long time ago, order 3 double cheese burgers, get 3 cheese sandwiches with ketchup and mustard, no burgers
my dad went back in and said to a manager "which one of your rocket scientists gave me three cheese sandwiches instead of three cheeseburgers?"
everyone in the kitchen stares at this one kid, and starts laughing at him
Odd of winning a given item are ### in the total number of pieces distributed. Let's say, for the 1 million dollar Boardwalk, they give out 2 prizes. So 2 in 500 million, or whatever the ridiculous amount of pieces that are distributed is.
That means there are 2 Boardwalks, total.
This may be even less when you consider that it's a sweepstakes, and they have to provide free game pieces in the mail, by law. And, by law, those pieces have to have the same odds of winning as the ones on product. So that #2 Boardwalk is likely never stuck to a cup, it's sitting in an office waiting to be mailed out to someone.
So by eating McBurgers, you have about a one in a billion chance.
There's a rare piece for each color group. There are 10 of the green rare, 50-100 of the yellow rare, and soforth. So collect all you want, you'll wind up with 50,000 Marvin Gardens before you come up with the piece that gives you a sailboat, or whatever it is this year. With all the fries you bought, you may as well have just bought the sailboat.
Statistically you've a better chance of blowing your nose and finding the virgin mary in your tissue. And I might argue, based on how that grilled cheese sandwich went, it would be more profitable.
way to get my hopes up..
No one ever wins this shit
You don't know how true that was.....

The smile was knocked of Ronald McDonald's face when the fast-food giant was defrauded of $13m in illegally claimed prizes.
An FBI investigation which began in April last year has uncovered a scam, which resulted in the arrest of eight people who allegedly rigged game promotions, including "Monopoly" and "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?", run by the burger franchise. The fraud is said to have run for six years.
A suspect, Jerome Jacobson, from Georgia, worked for Simon Marketing Inc, which controlled the distribution of the games. The FBI said the fraud involved the suspects obtaining winning game pieces from Simon Marketing,recruiting friends and relatives to pose as winners, and then sharing out the prizes. Typically, the games offered prizes such as $1m in cash, cars and electronics goods.
The United States Attorney General, John Ashcroft, said: "Those involved in this type of corruption will find out that breaking the law is not a game. This fraud scheme denied McDonald's customers a fair and equal chance of winning."
McDonald's was unaware of the FBI investigation until a month after it started. An FBI spokesman said McDonald's was asked to continue with the promotional games to allow the agents to gather more evidence.
A spokesman for the burger chain said none of the eight suspects were employed by the company, and that it "was victimised by a long-time supplier and a sophisticated inside game of fraud and deception". The spokesman said McDonald's was ending its relationship with Simon Marketing. The Los Angeles-based marketing firm declined to comment.
The FBI's investigation is continuing.
McDonalds is one place I will never go to. One time I ordered a double cheese, got that bitch home and they didnt even put any meat patties on it. All I got was a fuckin bun. Also one of the only places to give me food poising. Damn those .39 cent hamburgers. Everytime I went the ice cream machine was broken, service was terrible, and everybodys brain dead. My rant is done, continue.
dude tell me about it. I love telling people how bad at customer service McD's is, here is my best story. Enjoy cause you will laugh.
ok there was a snowstorm and I was at my parents house the closest McD's is like 15 minutes away. So I go "fuck it im starvin im hittin up that dollar menu". So I go dig my car out which takes about 15 minutes and start driving there, it takes me 25 minutes to get there. Anyway I get there and let my dollar menu munchies do the ordering. I speak into the thing
"yeah can I have 1 small fry, 2 double cheeseburgers, a 4 peice chicken nuggest and a sweet tea please? -- okay thank you"
so anyway I pull out of there and get to the first like about 2 minutes away and im so fucking hungary I have to dig in. what I saw made me so mad but at the same time so close to "I cant believe this happened"
the frys were hard as rocks. the sweet tea was coke that tasted like it was ridic flat. 1 double cheesburger had half cheese on it and the other one was okay. Then for my 4 peice chicken nuggest 2 I swear were so cold they were almost frozen. and then he took a chicken tender and ripped it in half...making it ummm 2 chicken nuggets.
So I drove back and went to the window. The guy kind of looks at me (he is the only guy working) and says "did I forget something" so I go "no I want you to eat this in front of me" and he is like "what?!" im like "I want you to eat this in front of me" so he goes "if there is something wrong I can get you some other food, or replace your food" so I get angry and go "no I want to see you eat these fucking nuggets in front of me"
long story short I only go to BK now. Cause thats 1 of MANY stories from not just 1 but like 6 McD's. I hit up Buger King mmm Chicken Fries with Buffalo Sauce. Trust me try it!
