Back in 1996, Aly Sherb’s grandmother bought a McDonald’s hamburger and fries, and put it in a shoebox in her closet. Aly wanted to see it, so her grandmother showed it to us. It looks almost the same now as it did on the day she bought it. How scary is that?
Part of me wants to buy one and do the same thing. Then the other part of me is really craving one. What about you?
I saw this story because Jason Alexander responded to it. Back in 1985, he did a commercial for them, so he said, “Has to be one of the MCDLT’s we used in the commercial. Keeps the hot, hot. Keeps the cool, cool. I’m sensing a comeback.” I hope they bring it back and have him recreate the advertisement.
