OT - Does anyone else get sucked in to the McDonald's Monopoly Game? Any strateiges?

[Reload]

Well once again, the Monopoly game is underway at McDonalds and yours truly already went out of his way ordering an large size Premium Chicken value meal just to get 6 game pieces instead of the normal 2 or whatever. Every year I get sucked into this thing. With today's game pieces, I've already won a small McFlurry, a $1 Toys R Us coupon, and 10% off at Foot Locker.

Does anyone else get as hooked on this as me when they have this? And do you end up ordering the $6+ value meal that you don't even want just to get more game pieces? Have you ever grouped together with others to pool pieces together in hopes of actually getting the 2 or 3 colored properties together for a good prize?

Maybe we should get an EOG McDonald's Monopoly partnership going and share what game pieces we all have.

Lately for breakfast stuff, I've usually been getting the $1 sausage biscuits. The 99 cent breakfast menu at the Wendy's (across the street from my McDonald's) has been pretty good lately also.

I guess everyone is getting that 10% off at Foot Locker for their so-called "guaranteed bonus" prize. What a joke. How is getting 10% off of shoes that are like 50% overpriced a bonus?

hey guys! maybee since we all live in different areas.......we can combine our game pieces and win something big?

[SHAWN GOTTI]

Up in the Boston area. I like the idea of trying to combine game pieces. Probably only chance any of us have to win anything big.

[Sound of Silence]

your in General

[The General]

Yes, absolutely. Did you just sign up here yesterday?

No coffee
just not an OJ guy
Coke is good

[Jeff Jones]

As someone who uses the McDonald's in the Stratosphere as his centrally-located office between the Strip and Downtown every weekend, I can tell you Nevada is not in on this Monopoly deal.

Having lived in Mexico for a few years, I feel that I have gained enough proficiency in Spanish to walk into any McDonald's in America and be able to order food.

I want my Monopoly coupons! But none are forthcoming.

I will be in as well. I will go to McD's every day for lunch and post what I get.

[BigDaddy]

i might have to go in a few minutes and just get some shit for the hell of it i cant take the excitement any longer they really know how to suck you in


going to see if i can bribe a kid to give me a box of cups

[BigDaddy]

BTW the only reason i went to BK today was to get my nephew those nfl jerseys and to my luck they dont offer them anymore

[The General]

BK has those steak egg n cheese croissants things if you ask I believe. Real good.

[patswin]

Does anybody really ever win these things....you never see or hear who won. You would think McD would publicize it heavy for PR

I admit that I try flirting with the latina empleadas in McDonalds to see what I can get from them.

BK usually has some pretty good kids meal toy stuff. There's one right on my way to work so I'm always checking out what they've got.

Have to admit that I don't like the crossainwiches too much at BK. I still end up getting a biscuit there of somesort instead. Anything on their breakfast dollar menu is not bad really.

They do and years ago McDonald's had a big problem with the whole Monopoly contest getting -bad- publicity when some of the most valuable pieces out there were stolen. The people involved all got in trouble but the integrity of the contest has not been the same since. Now at least they add all this extra crap like the $1 Toys R Us coupon or 10% off at Foot Locker. Probably more instant winners for food also just so people don't feel so screwed not winning the bigger prizes.

[OMNIVOROUS FROG]

It's a total scam. Last go round you could check the classified ads and every knucklehead in the world was advertising have every piece but Boardwalk, will share prize. No shit. How gullible can you get? Have a better chance getting a wonka bar golden ticket than a monopoly boardwalk. The golden arches suck in a lot more gold on this promo. I must admit, one of the all time best marketing ploys.

Best Wishes...OF
