Mcdonald’s Monopoly

Everyone I know seems to be going crazy over the Monopoly Singapore game!

In fact, as of the last 2-3 weeks, I have been eating Mc Donald’s more than usual….and of course the kids are definitely not protesting!

Friends have been twittering that they are going to Mc-vomit very soon! 🙂

There are people even proclaiming on Facebook about the properties which they need!

Seriously, if I had Sentosa Cove or Orchard Road, would I offer it to anybody? I certainly don’t think so!

Btw, I think this has been their most successful advertising campaign since the days of Hello Kitty. Remember those long queues, where every maid and Grand parent in Singapore, was waiting in line to get a Hello Kitty for their loved ones.

I think that the catch behind the Mcdonald’s Monopoly game is that they don’t just give you 1 coupon, but they give you 8 coupons with every up-sized meal.

Psychologically, you feel closer to the winning ticket! And throwing in a few coupons that entitles you to a free apple pie, milkshake or french fries does whet the appetite as well!

Meanwhile, if you are a fan of hamburgers, this is what the Biggest Hamburger in the world looks like:

The hamburger which weighed in at 136.2 kilograms (300 pounds), beating the previous world record burger, which weighed a measly 84 kilograms (185 pounds).

I think the American Burger which came in 2nd looks more appetizing than the Japanese Burger!
