I actually remember this. LOL.
It was when McDonlads actually marketed to adults to buy for their kids. It wasn’t until later that they realized if they marketed to KIDS, they would wine and cry for the toy until the parents gave in and purchased the toy.
It really is comical to see the commercial in hind-sight.
I agree. It is much more efficient to market to kids enough make them whine every time I drive by the golden arches. Curse McDonalds!
Parents are completely able to decide what and where to let their children eat. What about the parents who feed their children nutritious, wholesome, food most of the time, and reserve McDonald’s for special occasions? Don’t give into your kids and be the parent. If more people did that, then we would have a better society.
actually The Marketing Store Worldwide is the largest toy manufactuerer. They make all of the toys for McDonald’s
actually The Marketing Store Worldwide is the largest toy manufacturer. They make all of the toys for McDonald’s
Which is why it says largest toy distributor and not largest toy manufacturer.
