McDonald's Arch Deluxe: The Big McFlop with Rachel Dratch and Jared Freid | 16
Manage episode 393990262 series 3503350
With their popularity waning in the mid 90's, McDonald's became concerned that they weren't pandering to adults enough. So they did the very adult thing of having a middle-aged crisis, and started spending too much money on something they didn't need. After pouring hundreds of millions into the fryer developing a "burger for adults," McDonald's stock prices dropped by 70%. The golden arches were tarnished for the first time in decades...and not even a dancing Ronald McDonald could help.
Comedians Rachel Dratch (Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock) and Jared Freid (Jared Freid: 37 & Single, JTrain Podcast) join Misha to digest the massive marketing mishap of McDonald's Arch Deluxe.
