#2: I’m Loving It
It seems like McDonald’s is trying really hard to convince everyone that they are cool. For the last 10 years or more, it seems like all of their advertising campaigns involve showing hip young people enjoying burgers in sleek, minimalistic McDonald’s locations.
But that was not always the case! McDonald’s used to have a whole cast of costumed mascots who appeared in all of their advertising, and if you were a big enough fan, you could even purchase glassware with these characters on them. Not so cool after all, are you, Micky D?
