Italians versus McDonald's

Apparently the Italians hated McDonald's...

So McDonald's decided to lie to them, by creating a fake high-end restaurant, that only served burgers... and the Italians absolutely loved it... except, it was only McDonald's in disguise.

So, 'the entire nation' ate in one restaurant in Milan? I think not. MacDonalds is good at what it does: which isn't gourmet in any way. I dislike gourmet and dislike MacDonalds equally except that the latter is at a lower price point. Great ad though.

@FreddieUK No one said the entire nation ate there 🤦

Why do people take this website so seriously 🤦

@sstronaut I'm quoting the last words of the voiceover not disrespecting you. I find it funny the way hyperbole is used in marketing and politics these days.

I enjoy your contributions to SW.

It's Milan, don't extend anything you observe in there to the rest of us lol

@Elessar So they're the weirdo city? 😂

@sstronaut It's not crazy per-se, it's just the most internationalized place due to being the trade center; sorta like a de-facto capital. Think of like NYC, to give you an American equivalent (more or less)

@Jexie .. Instead, there's also a guy near here who lived in the States for 10ish years then came back and opened his own artisanal burger shop inspired to the artisanal ones he tried there (I think Texas, he told me 5ish years ago and I may remember wrongly), making the buns from scratch even; and those are really good.

They cost easily 5x as much as a McD's though 😅 but absolutely worth it, not even comparable. If I want a (good) burger I go with those

@Elessar Gotta love burgers
