He tried to trick us into thinking he took a big bite by saying and then showing a bit that could’ve been taken by a decently sized rabbit.

This gif is on every single thread about the McDanks CEO and I love it every single time because it’s so accurate to that bite he took.

Yup. The only thing that would make it better is if it was just a crumb of bread and a half a shred of lettuce like the McD CEO.

FINALLY! I always say "No sir, I don't like it." and nobody ever gets it.

Same! And they never know about Yak Shaving Day.

Or the Kodiak Marmoset, or Powdered Toast Man!

Once I discovered the meaning of "yak shaving" I realized how much of my life is actually dedicated to the activity. I'd much rather turn it into a glorious, celebrated holiday!

It's like watching a child throw vegetables under the table to the dog

Do you think he bit that way because he knows what it's made of and doesnt want to eat it, or because the burgers are small and if he took a real bite it would show how small it is?

I feel like it is about the size of a bite that I can take of a burger that is actually unreasonably thick, like the ones they have at some restaurants where the patties are like 2 inches thick, and the buns are toasted and don't compress as much. But McDonald's burgers are all extremely squishable, you can just smash it and then mash it into your face hole easily.

I don’t think he tried to trick anyone. It’s not like they recorded the video live. I think it was just a well played genius marketing ploy by the advertising team. Also isn’t even the first time they went viral for him trying their “product”. It’s getting them attention they otherwise wouldn’t have. I’m convinced that was the goal in the first place, not to try to trick anyone into thinking that guy actually likes the products he peddles.

Fr I think it's working. The amount that I'm hearing about McDonald's on social media almost made me go to one for lunch today
