McDonald's is getting friggin' annoying

[TheNinja]

They don't even call them Double quarter pounder with cheese. It's just a Double QPC or a DQPC. Pound one!

 

[yllus]

You think they have annoying abbreviations? You should see P&N.

 

[DurocShark]

Because the target audience that they did the "im lovin it" ad for can't read either.

*Stupid marketing drones*

 

[royaldank]

They are pushing it in response to the Monster burger, which claims on it's ad "The biggest double cheese burger in fast food."

It's easy enough to not eat there.

Life would go so much quicker if we all just spoke in acronyms, or, to express myself acronymically, LWGSMQIWAJSIA.

Not quite as easy to avoid the annoying commercials and radio spots that pop up EVERYWHERE.

IMHO, the WWW is much closer to that ideal than IRL. YMMV though, depending on A/S/L of your chat partner. k?

Hm, I actually like that burger. Not quite as good as the Wendy's Classic Triple though. But still better than Jack in the Box's Ultimate Cheeseburger, IMHO.

It's not that hard to watch less TV, either.

FLL, RRR, and JOB.

Three things which scare some people in P&N.

I hate the huge adertising campaign that tells everyone that if they buy 3 items from the Dollar Menu it will only cost them $3. *mutter*

 

[MoPHo]

I think they are trying to make customers seem like they aren't eating as much. Double Quarter Pounder With Cheese makes it sound like what it actually is. DQPC sounds more appealing to people who want to eat it, but don't want to sound like they are scarfing down .5 pounds of meat or w/e it is.

Sorta like what KFC did. Kentucky Fried Chicken changed so it wouldn't sound like it was fried, it became KFC, now its Kitchen Fresh Chicken...It's all marketing gimmicks to fatten america up.

HPC = Half-Pounder with Cheese

 

[moshquerade]

[Jfrag Teh Foul]

McDonalds can suck it.

I'm not lovin' it.

P&N?

shudder :frown:

 

[helpme]

I'll take a double double instead.

 

[spiderrasmon]

in the UK, they call a QPC an RWC ("Royale with Cheese")

can you believe that?
