I think you have get pieces on large fries and drinks so make my meal supersize please.

Where I'm at you get 4 pieces on a large french fries. No other McD product carries pieces for the "game". Used to be you'd get 1 piece on anything.

I quit when I failed to win a Sega Saturn some time ago. I just knew I was going to win too.

I won an Xbox 360 instant win from a pack of large fries last year. They actually shipped it pretty quick, just a little over a week after I sent them my tiny stamp piece.

This year I'm going to win one meeeeelllion dollarrrsss :biggrin:

Medium drink has gamepiece, none on the med fries. Large combo includes 4 pieces on the fries, none on the drink.

Big Mac, Filet-o-Fish have pieces.

Frappe has pieces.

I believe hash browns include them.

Also the 10 pieces nuggets.

There are posters all over outside and inside by the counter that shows what kind of items will get you pieces. Or you can always ask them (not that they memorized, but they can always look at the cartons to see which ones have the pieces). This was what I did last week and I ended up with a pack of large fries and the 10 pieces of nuggets.

edit: The soda is only the medium, I think.

^ How many monopoly pieces come with the 20pc nuggets?

And why the fuck does a medium soda come with monopoly things, but not a large soda?

I've won two Angus wraps.

Does anyone remember the Olympics promo games they used to have? Where depending on the medal an American won you'd get a different free food item. I miss that game.

No but I can guarantee that if you eat there enough you will damage your health severely and possibly win a lot on money.

Uhhh you can't guarantee that, some people have magical bodies and can eat all the crap they want and live to be 105 and die healthy.

McD's foot eaten to date since the campaign began - 0.
Winning game piece to date since the campaign began - 0.

I think there's a correlation somewhere...:hmm:

I quit eating at McDonalds when they have the Monopoly promotion. I remember all too well a prior McDonalds Monopoly promotion where someone at the promotion company stole the good Monopoly pieces and gave them to their friends. I find it a slap in the face of the American public that McDonalds continued to run this game after it got so screwed up and cheated the public. There are enough games out there they could have easily picked another one.

Just depends. People have dumb ideas about food. Mcdonalds isn't all that bad. For example all their beef burgers have trans fat. Trans fat is bad and I rarely eat them but one here or there won't kill you.

Take for example someone who eats at mcdonalds all the time and likes chicken. He really won't have problems from it. Thats what I do, I get mostly chicken from mcdonalds because of the lack of trans fat. Me going there twice a week for chicken is worse than someone going there once in 2 weeks for a big mac IMO.

I go where when I need the calories. Usually I've been busy and didn't eat most of the day. So many people are calorie deprived at actual mealtimes of actual food and they make it up with soda or cake or danishes or whatever at a later time, it's much unhealthier IMO.

The question is, does McDonald's kill us, and the answer is no.

Only you, kill you.

Answer: Because the large fry comes with 4 pieces and they want to make sure you buy combos, not just the drink. The fries might actually be more profitable than the drink.

I think that this whole monopoly game mcdonalds is having is bullshit. When was the last time you saw someone driving a ferrari 599 GTB because they bought a premium chicken ranch blt at mcdonalds?

All the McDs around here have a deal where any size soda or tea is $1. Given that a medium soda is $1 and a large soda is $1, they put the pieces on the medium to encourage you to get less for the same price.
