Mc Donald's monopoly

[SpoonBender]

Does anybody else just think it encourages people to buy more food?! And does anybody actually win?

I won a apple pie. DS was over the moon

We won an apple pie, none of us were impressed!

We shared the joy and left the voucher on the table.

On a more positive note, I'm only 2 more coffees away from a freebie

And there was I thinking McDonalds was a charitable organisation . . . I feel disillusioned and let down.

It is effective as many people love gambling. I would like a law that required all fast food places to have specific planning permission and councils to be allowed to refuse McDonalds, KFC or any of the other large chains said permission, or impose conditions.

Oh my god I think you might be right, and now I think about it tgey don't put as many on some things so they are trying to get you to buy certain things too

I won porridge who goes to McDonald's for porridge!?

I don't eat at McDonalds as it makes me poorly so I can't join in the fun

ForalltheSaints These places are immensely profitable.

If you try to stop them proliferating through the planning system you cannot apply it to existing businesses. So the effect is to give them monopoly value, no pun intended, by shielding them from competition.

Not sure that's what you want.

Going to McDonald's for porridge is like going to a brothel for a hug.

I need one more for some head phones, one more for an iPod and one more for a Xbox

Strangely I keep getting the same ones!

They wouldn't launch a game that discourages people to buy food.
That would be dumb

I won a fruit bag *disappointed

Ive won 4 cheeseburgers , 5 fries 2 hot drinks ' 6 nuggets , 3 applepies ... I eat mcdonalds alot lol

I need one more for some headphones. Won a free drink the other day.

I can see the headlines now; 'Fast Food Business In Game To Increase Sales Shocker!'

I have never won a McDonalds freebie.

I did win a fiver inside a bag of walkers once. I loved those little blue packets of glory.

I won porridge who goes to McDonald's for porridge!?

My sister, it's the cheapest place to go for breakfast on her training place.

So far we (well DSs aged 16 & 13) have won an apple pie, 2 x medium fries, 2 x medium soft drinks, 1 x medium milkshake, 2 x fruit bag, a cheeseburger & a hash brown (I know because the little tickets are all in my purse "because you won't loose them" ).

We also only need one sticker on every colour! Never ever win anything of consequence though - the cheeseburger is a fairly good result for us!

HighwayRat PMSL. Thank you for giving me a chuckle at the end of the day. Goodnight all.

my DD has a theory that we should travel to the 4 corners of the UK and buy mcdonalds as they spread the properties out between regions. she thinks if we spend about a thousand pounds on petrol we might win a free coffee.

I always get funny looks in McDonald's as I get a porridge and orange juice and sometimes a fruit pack. Don't eat any of the main meals but do like an occasional mcflurry. Do you get the monopoly stickers on the coffee, it's good too but by jings I find it strong :)

Went in there a couple of weeks ago with dcs who got very excited by the game and put the stickers on the board giving it to me to look after because I wont lose it.
Mil took us there for dinner today and dcs talked about which of the stickers matched the board from last time (this is the sort of trivial crap exciting stuff they made a point of remembering).

Ive lost the board!

Shit. I have to own up tomorrow, its not going to be a fun day.

On a plus note we had four fleet streets and four hash browns and a hot drink.

What is McDonald's Monopoly? How do I not know?

I won a sundae and some fries.

Result.

now all I need is the car and cash

The monopoly's not that convincing - they moved out of the centre of Durham years before BK did. They can't compete with Costa, Starbucks and numerous independent cafes and street vendors, everywhere.
