Something Goofy from McDonald's
I think I've mentioned that the best McDonald's in the chain is less than a mile from where I work. There's another that's about the same distance from where I live but I always come to the one near work as I just like it more.
Once in a while I'll go to the McDonald's site for nutrition information, to take a survey, or to tell them how much I love my local McDonald's. At some point I gave them a throwaway e-mail address — that way if they started to SPAM me I could delete the address and have lost nothing. I'm happy to report that in all the months they've had the address yesterday is the first time they've sent me anything. And it was this:
Click to make me move.
I can't say I agree with what the character says, I'm more of a Diet Pepsi guy in the morning, but it is kind of cool in a goofy sort of way.

I thought that the best McDonald's in the chain was the one a mile from where *I* live! You're so cheap with your McD's love! By the way, why is that movie from McD's Canada? Did you move??
Loving the trousers...ooops...I mean "pants", and not "baggy pants", just regular ones ;o)

That's frightening. How did they get your picture- a security camera? Or are they capturing biometric data without your knowledge? One clue might be... they always have your usual order ready for you by the time you reach the counter. Try changing it up on them and scrutinize their reaction.

I totally agree with that. Yes, my body is always lacking until I've had my first coffee of the day. It doesn't really come to life until my third!

Okay, do I have nerve damage in my ears now, or does animated Delmer sound like David Spade?
Leave it to a company with a giant scarlet-haired clown of questionable sexuality to come up with yet another weird idea...

Lady P: I hadn't noticed it was Canadian. Hmmm. He doesn't say 'eh' even once.
Sue: Well, it is Micky D's.
Bill: The other day, when I went for a pop refill, the gal behind the counter asked, "Pepsi or Diet Pepsi." I said "Diet," and when she handed the full glass back to me she, "Did I just ask you if you wanted Pepsi or Diet Pepsi?" as is she couldn't believe her mistake. She's been giving me my order, without asking what it is, for three years or more.
Bec: No no no! Tell me you drink tea. Don't blow the British-tea-drinking illusion for me.
Diane: He does sound a bit like David Spade. (Spade, by the way, might be the only person in the world I have better hair than.)

Ooo sorry! Yes! Of course I drink tea,! All day everyday! With milk! Lots of milk!
Sorry... I just can't keep that up. I need a caffeine IV drip just to clear the idea.
Seriously though I used to drink a huge amount of tea, then a few years back I had a chest infection - afterwards "normal" tea makes me nauseous - weird? Me?

Bec: "Normal" tea? The only tea I've seen Brits drink has the appearance of sugary milk with just a dash of tea to give it an off-white color. (Not that I'm picking.)
Heather D: The cartoony Delmer does look lively and chipper ... and did you see the way he hopped out of bed ... I wish I got up that easy.
HHN: That's why I love mine. Everything is perfect every time. But I know what you mean about getting named ingredients left off of product -- it's happened at the lesser McDonald's of the world.
