Have any of you guys given this thing a go in the past? I'm not much of a fan of fast food but, for some reason the urge took me this afternoon to get in on this thing. I went and bought my lunch at Mcdonalds: 1 Big Mac (I asked for a whopper rofl), 1 Medium Soda (filled with water), 1 10xMcNugget, and 1 Large Fry. The first 3 all came with 2 game pieces while the Large Fry, at 1.99+tax netted me 4 game pieces.
Most notably, I currently have 2/3 of the pieces for the $50,000 prize, 2/3 of the pieces for the $1,000 prize, and 2 of the 4 railroad pieces. I thought that was pretty cool, though I have a sneaking suspicion that for the 50k prize, for instance, 2 of the 3 pieces most likely occur a good deal more frequently than the third, and so on and so forth. At the same time, I'm sure some sort of economy evolves around this game, with people selling pieces on the internet (i.e. Ebay). It'd be worth paying a good deal of money to complete prizes.
I think tomorrow I'll go buy 5 large fries and see what else I can get. I have 2 free breakfast sandwiches now too. |

| Yeah i have a few times. Pretty pointless. I usually fill the bored quickly then have 1 missing from every section for the remaining time of the promotion. |

Yes. That's exactly how it works. |

| Whatever. Their strategy worked. I'll probably spend $100 on fries this month, if not more, and gain 30 pounds. |

in hell!!! :mad:
This is outrageous!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:
Why do you get 10 McNuggets?!?! In Germany the medium size box has only 9. THAT'S ONE DELICIOUS NUGGET LESS! Why, god, why??? :mad: :mad: :whip: :whip:
I want that additional Nugget right now, for every 9-McNugget box I ever bought. See, Americans, this is why you're fat! Because you get more Nuggets. It's like a gold-rush for fat people.
I feel so cheated now. McDonalds has cheated me all my life, and all the additional Nuggets that should have been consumed by a young and healthy and athletic German have gone to fat American pigs instead. :whip:
you McDonalds and you America. Give me those Nuggets back or my revenge will make Hitler look like a reasonable and responsible politician. :mad: :whip: |

| that's funny. how many nuggets in your large? 18? i think we get 20. |
|

| Meat187 |
Large is also 20. Maybe no one here is fat enough to buy that, so they can afford it, at least I never got a large one.
Damn, so from now on I need to buy large to not get cheated. :( |
