Why are McDonalds ketchup packets "FANCY"?

[alexjohnson16]

I have no clue. Do you?

Uh, because if they print 'fancy' on the ketchup packets, white trash will go there for their anniversary?

i've pondered this myself...

Well you see, I was meeting with McDonald's to attempt to sell them my company's ketchup for use in their restaurants (this was a long time ago, before most of you were born). However, McDonald's had pulled a fast one and had our chief competitor meet at the same time (I won't say the competitor's name for legal reasons).

So, we're all in this room and the McDonald's spokesperson listens to this great speech from the competitor's salesman and then says to me, "and why would we pick your company's ketchup over theirs?"

So I say, "Well, you see, our ketchup is fancy and people will love knowing they are eating fancy ketchup!"

He laughs and says, "well, ok, let's say your ketchup is 'fancy'. How will anyone really know when it's in little condiment packets?"

So I says, "Simple! Print 'Fancy' on the packet! People will love it!"

Then the McDonald's guy and I went to the pub for a long night on his expense account while my competitor went home crying.

True story!

It's the brand name.

edit: McD's doesn't make the ketchup. They buy it. It's Portion Pac's Fancy Ketchup (subsidiary of Heinz).

have you guys also noticed Mcdonald straws are wider then the average straw? This is probably so you can drink your 48 oz super mega drum of coke quicker.

It's not in their advantage for people to drink faster, unless they charge for refills (the ones I know don't).

That's because it's nearly impossible to suck a McDonald's milkshake through a standard straw unless you're a porn star!

They print fancy as a way of subliminal messaging. When you look at it, you don't think fancy, but the more you look at it, the more it affects you.

Wrong, it's so you can drink their SHAKES easier. that's the thing that Wendys and BK never got, have you ever tried drinking one of their shakes throw their tiny weak @ss straws? no thank you, the mcd's straws (wider and thicker material) is much better.

Wider usually is better.
