[@garretttroke8800]

One correction. When it comes to mailing in for free game pieces, you assumed that all of the writing would have to take place between those 6 weeks. You could start filling out addresses on envelopes well before the game starts. This would cut down the time it would take you to complete a request. I doubt it would cut it in half, but you might be able to shave off 25% of the time. adding a few thousand more pieces to your collection.

[@thecomposerchanginggames5250]

Yes, I had considered this. I think the only stipulation to that is that you don't necessarily know what they want sent before the rules come in. Like, let's sat it made headlines that a group of friends had made thousands of letters. McDonald's could avoid it by simply requiring different language or terms on the letters.

[@melonymutou]

I kind of feel like you might be able to get away with hand-writing just a few and then loading it onto a computer and using some randomization programming to print out multiples that all LOOK hand-written. If you made enough multiples and employed some kind of randomization algorithm, I bet it could TOTALLY look entirely handwritten…. It’s not like you had to’ve written with a pencil, either, right? So you could’ve just written it in pen, and that’s why it’s in ink and not pencil graphite. But I bet there’s some kind of printer that could print in graphite. Sure, you’re “supposed” to hand-write it, but how are they going to outright prove you didn’t if you destroy the computer/printer you did it with afterward? And as if it would be IMMORAL to cheat them like that, considering how much they cheat their customer base.

0:58 to be fair, the image of Jesus has changed over time. The old art of him in the Catacombs of Roma has him looking like a generic Greek guy. Our current version of Jesus was the result of a king who commissioned new bibles to be made with his visage as Jesus. It was a way to spread propaganda among his religious subjects by making them think he was like Jesus... and it worked since we are still using his version. That's something I learned in my college art history class. Also those are some crazy monopoly odds... Glad I never got too far into that event. I always had a feeling the game was rigged from the start.

[@LittleZbot]

In addition, these sort of interviews are the easiest to manipulate ever. They could have told the kids they were looking for someone who's alive today, or had big Ronald McDonald posters behind the camera. Or, most likely, they just interviewed 1000 kids and only showed off the 3 who didn't immediately recognize Jesus. The other 99.7% just get cut out. You can convince the world of almost anything if you edit it enough and prey on the fears of small-town mothers.

I guess the rumour here in Canada was that the major game pieces are spread across the country. For example to win the 50k prize you’d have to eat at a restaurant in western Canada and then fly across the country to find the last piece in eastern Canada. Other major prizes are the same. So it’s really a play on the name “coast to coast”, you have to eat at rotten ronnies all across the country to have a slim chance of winning anything serious. However I did win a $20 Uber gift code this year and a $50 cash prize last year, so I don’t really mind lol

I mean, I don't think McDonald's springs for the pricer versions of things so most likely not by much. Maybe at a big stretch they would take another million or two off, but nothing close to making bank here. I don't think even a fully upgraded high class sports car would make a dent, I think Ferraris run around 200 to 400k as stock models, and I have never even seen one of those offered.

🔔 Food Theory Idea (for a little later on in the year)🔔 How many calories would Santa consume given that he eats every 🍪cookie🍪 put out by everyone who celebrates 🎄Christmas🎄?

Hey Matpat, are you ever going to make a video about the McDonald's Monopoly Controversy, you know the one about a employee who was working at McDonald's, taking care about the Monopoly stuff, when he decided to take the winning pieces and sold them to his friends and family for Money? Cuz I really want you to make a video all about it. (Don't know if it would be a Food Theory or something 🤔) Also I Subscribe to all your channels

[@rovacy9297]

Theory idea: how long does it take for McDonald’s to make a chicken nugget meal? For instance, if i have a specific event that i dont want to be late to but want my McDonald’s to be warm and not have to opt to heating it up in a microwave, when would i have to be there and how long do i have time before the chicken nuggets get cold? How early do i have to be at the McDonald’s to have my meal be warm?

[@1stAid]

Karen: "My child's health is of the utmost importance!" Me: "Then why are you at McDonald's?"

[@Merennulli]

In reality, they weren't at McDonalds. The healthier food options came from trying to get ahead of eating trends, not from anyone actually asking McDonalds for apple slices. That's why a lot of healthy options are short lived at McDonalds, the people who want to eat healthy enough to change their habits react the way you are. They don't go to McDonalds because they perceive it as inherently unhealthy without considering what some marketing grad just had them add to the menu.

Silver Ink182 yeah. ive only heard a bit about the case, but there was a family that kept “winning” the games. it was just one family, and game pieces were passed around so that mostly only members of that family would win. there’s a documentary called mcmillions about the whole case if you’re interested in that kind of stuff. ☺️

I mean it technically is a painting of a Pope, not of Jesus, so... That whole thing is skewed. Most people know about Jesus even if they don’t believe in Him, but less and less people also would recognize that painting because the truth is it’s a painting of a pope, not of Jesus. The closest thing we have to a real photo of Jesus is the Shroud of Turin, which we are certain is His image but we also must admit we are human and are subject to human errors.
