Rent a DVD at McDonald's

[jm1647]

I'll have a Big Mac, large fries, large coke and UnderWorld Evoulution....
I was surfing around and seen Mickey D's are getting machines that you can rent a DVD for $1 a day and they can be returned to a machine at any other place. They are supposed to be stocked with the top 30 DVD's and the stock will be constantly rotated. Not in my area yet

There's one at one of our two McDonalds.

How was the selection of movies, any good?

High cholesterol and triglycerides, to go with that DVD please. I think anyone would be well served to visit McD's minimally. The DVD would probably be the healthiest thing there to eat. That would solve a lot of problems. Taco DVD's with a chipotle sauce. Watch the movie, then eat it. A different flavor for each genre. Certain actresses could have their own patented flavor for their DVD. Sony would drop all copyright protections because they would be hard to swallow.

LMFAO!!

Even better than the new salads (with dressings with 30 grams of fat)!

Last time I heard about this was a while back but I believe they only have less than 100 of these test stores out there.

I dunno if these are all McDonald's or not

If it is only 100 test stores, then most of them are in MN. I see these "red boxes" advertised all over here and it seems any one I have ever stopped in has one. The deal is not too bad at $1 per day and such a liberal return policy. It must be thought of as the ultimate "loss leader". It is an interesting way of trying to pull in more business. I hope they are not actually turning a profit with $1 rentals, because if they are that could mean that BB is out to screw us. They wouldn't do that........would they??

They will probably throw old DVDs into the hot oil to give the fries that unique flavor, like when they used wax. They could call them "Video fries" or "movie theatre tasty fries".

About 2 years ago Pizza Hut had a buy any large Pizza get a DVD for free deal.

Isn't that when they came out with the super thin crust personal pizza's?

By the map link in this post
http://forum.digital-digest.com/show...68&postcount=8 there are way more than a 100, I got an email from them saying there are 37 in NJ but they are not near me and don't show on the map. I guess it is not up to date.

Hello All

I think I broke my kids from eating at mcdonalds everytime we go out 2 dinner. Since my arm is out of commission, we eat out almost every night. Well I got tired of hearing mcdonalds, so we ate there everynight 4 two weeks. Now all I hear is can we eat somewhere else besides mcdonalds. LMAO
