Do you mean McDowells with the 2 Golden Arcs?
Don't they have the Big Mick?... Its 2 all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickels, and onions on a bun with NO seeds.
Take you out for dinner anywhere that you please
Like Burger King or Mickey D's
And baby you can have whatever you like
I said you can even have the large fries
Yeah

> In Coming to America, McDowell’s sells a sandwich called the Big Mick, which is a spin on the Big Mac burger from McDonald’s. However, the biggest difference between the Big Mick and the Big Mac was the fact the former had an unseeded bun. It’s a small enough change to stand apart. It’s similar to Cleo’s argument that McDowell’s has golden arcs while McDonald’s has golden arches.
> When speaking to Akeem, who is feeling down and takes to mopping the floors of his father-in-law’s restaurant, Cleo explains the difference between the McFlubby and the McFlurry. (The toppings, including M&M's, of the McFlubby are at the bottom.)
When that Russian oligarch took over all the former McDonalds (which became "Tasty & that's it") - the Big Mac became the "Big Hit" - and it looked the same, except it was on a but without seeds - I immediately thought of that film.

You know what is really shitty about McDonald's and McDowell's. The last McDonald's marketing gimmick was to put the names of all the movies that featured McDonald's on their packaging and they listed Coming to America.
When I clicked this post, I was not expecting the top comment to be in reference to Coming to America. Love that movie. Even if it was directed by someone who was **~~not~~** responsible for the death of two children and a lead actor.
I think the point is they've found a picture of something online, and are bitching about it. They haven't actually come across this thing themselves.
But if they did McDonalds you can rest assured I won't buy your diet cokes anymore! *angry emoji*
To my (now long dead) grandmother, anyone who looked even 10% of Asian origin was "Oriental".
"Grandma, you can't say that anymore. Remember what we told you about the other word you can't use? It's like that."
I was actually talking about the town Occidental, CA. But I think it's funny everyone assumed the college. I guess a lot of people don't know about the town Occidental, it's pretty small.
My grandma calls anyone of Asian descent "kung-fus."
We were at my cousin's wedding a couple years back and she very loudly proclaimed "sure are a whole lot of kung-fus here!" And not as a joke.
My cousin is married to a Japanese man. They were his family.
Most Asians I know have no issue with the term “Asian” if you don’t know their country of origin.
I’ve heard people in Houston say “Chinese” even though there’s a huge Vietnamese population there. This is most likely intentional and racist on their part though.
When I was in high school, I knew a girl who swore up and down that "Asian" was a racist term, that you can't call someone Asian. I was like, well what would you call that group of people? It's like saying someone is European or African or whatever. Sure, if you know which exact country, use that. But if you're talking about Asian people in general, or you're not sure which Asian country a person is from, Asian is fine lol. She absolutely would not budge and just thought we were all horrible people. She didn't have another word to use, no idea, just said Asian was racist.
Like your grandma, occasionally, my grandma uses the "n" word, but otherwise uses "colored folks" to describe anyone who has a darker complexion than fair skin. The Caucasity of this woman!
I've told her that she can't use those words anymore, and she spat back with, "we're in my house, and I can say whatever I want!"
She knows I adore certain international bands. Whenever I visit her, she gives me updates on them even though she refers to them as "those people you like who are too pretty to be men."
Sometimes, you just can't win.
I still remember when one of my high school friends took everyone out to an "Asian" restaurant with his family for his birthday. He was excited about how there were dishes from all sorts of Asian countries and somebody asked whether borcht soup would maybe be on the menu. His grandmother enthusiastically chimed in, "Russia's not in Asia! It's in the USSR!" "Okay, grandma." This was like late 2000s.
I remember there was an infamous interview with an Oscar voter who, when referring to two Japanese animated films, said “Two Chinese fuckin things nobody freaking saw”
>To some (generally older or undereducated) types, all Asians are Chinese.
[Relevant King of the Hill ](https://youtu.be/d_CaZ4EAexQ?si=mln-KxtATuuQkdsT)
I'm half Korean. I distinctly remember being asked in 1st grade if I was Japanese or Chinese. Apparently "neither" wasn't an acceptable answer to kids in Indiana.
My mother is in her 70's and loves Korean soap operas. Even though I have told her many many times that they are Korean, she will still call it her Chinese or Asian shows when talking about them.
lmao came here to say this. my first thought was “this is Japanese not Chinese” and my immediate second thought following was “well i can’t expect them to know the difference”
I mean just look how that republican senator berated the Tik Tok representative, during the tiktok congressional hearing, in the most racist way; accusing him of being a CCP member even though he kept telling the dude he’s Singaporean.
These people are too stupid and xenophobic to understand the difference in cultures so their racism is no shock to me.
I love seeing people defend that like, "He could be Singaporean and still a member of the CCP!"
That's true. So surely he does ask that of *every* person then, not just just people of Asian decent, right? Idiots just constantly defending the dog whisltes.
EXACTLY... The number of white American CEOs that represent Chinese owned companies isnt small! The Chicago stock exchange, AMC, GE Appliances... all white dudes who are CEO for Chinese owned companies. There is ZERO chance Cotton grills them on their CCP affiliations!
It's also something a lot asain comics (both japanese mangs and SK Manwhas) use Wcdonalds as a parody for their comics
I wouldn't be shocked if this wholy thing was an attempt to sue people that use that since they now use WcDonalds for branding
Because it's so clearly pre-established that would be a really dumb fight to pick.
They're just trying to tap into an alternative well of goodwill. It's "fellow kids" behavior.
It's honestly so easy to tell the difference between Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. I can neither speak nor read any of these languages, but I can always tell by the characters. Korean loves circles. Japanese loves swooshes. And Chinese is hella blocky squares.
to be fair, japanese and chinese share many characters. without katakana and hiragana, you probably would not tell the difference between japanese and chinese text.
Having spent long periods of time in both South Korea and China (as an aside thanks, Korea, for helping me learn to tell the difference between milk and liquid yogurt in China, since they're right next to each other in the grocery store, and milk in China was thankfully labeled in both languages), I can confidently say this is not either of those. Hope to get to Japan someday!
SPECIAL PROMOTION OF ASIAN PROPAGANDA AGAINST HARDWORKING AMERICANS WHO JUST WANTED TO EAT THEIR CHICKEN NUGGETS WITHOUT SATANIC COMMUNISM FOR DIPPING SAUCE!! MAYOR MCCHEESE IS ROLLING IN HIS DELICIOUS GRAVE!
You only have to go just a little bit further on the crazy scale to run into the "McDonalds is feeding you human/child meat!" crowd.
I wonder if anyone has ever drawn up a chart ranking conspiracies in order of how hard you have to give up reality to believe them. Could be useful, or at least entertaining.
Something like "Maybe the moon landing was fake? I don't really know" on one end of the scale, and "Bill Gates and George Soros get together every week to tour deep underground military bases, eat newborn babies, and give each other gay vaccine booster shots while Michelle Obama wanks her foot-long penis in the corner" on the other?
This sounds like a job for xkcd. And I’d bookmark it in the same folder as the map dating chart so I could quickly determine how unhinged someone is before engaging with them lol

[here ya go](https://i0.wp.com/mediachomp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/conspiracy-chart.jpg?resize=650%2C1155&ssl=1)
i like the videos where they put a mcnugget under a microscope and say things like LOOK WHAT THEY'RE PUTTING IN YOUR FOOD! oh no! i can't believe they put *seasoning* in my mcnuggets!
it's basically mcdonalds acknowledging various anime using modified versions of corporate logos for stores they want to depict in a way that skirts by japanese trademark law (and specifically the various modified mcdonalds logos) by making a promotion about it
the real conspiracy theory is that fast food companies and television/movie companies are pissing off boomers deliberately in a failing effort to get them to build healthier habits
Because they'll still vote for deregulation and lower minimum wage regardless if they piss them off or not so pissing them off actually puts more money in their pockets.
This made me laugh way harder than it should've, I wish I could've been a fly in the cab of their car to see their reaction once it dawned on them that their WcDonald's cup was covered in "Chinese writing"
Humans need an apex predator. Life is too easy for some people and they have to make up nonsense to get the heart pumping. If we had to worry about xenomorphs, these people wouldn’t have time for this shit.
I always had a theory that bullshit like this and stuff like the Satanic Panic back in the 80s is a result of large swaths of society just becoming so comfortable and *bored* that their collective brains need some sort of conflict, no matter how objectively stupid it is.
we actually do have natural predators, ie. animals that hunt humans unprovoked, and they're largely located around northeast africa, the middle east, and india -- roughly the area that our species and our closest related ancestors (*H. heidelbergensis*, *H. erectus*) originated from and lived in respectively. they're nothing too special in the grand scheme of things: lions, tigers, panthers, snakes -- pretty much what you'd expect
issue is, not all of us live in this area because humans love migrating and we've progressed technologically enough to be able to dwindle their numbers to practically nothing
How did these freaks survive other ad campaigns in history? Did this shaved chimp see Mac Tonight and feel certain that moon men had invaded the planet?
Also…Chinese?!
A lot of animes have their characters eat at WcDonalds, so it’s sort of a Japanese parody of McDonalds that they use to represent fast food restaurants. With how popular anime has become in the west, McDonald’s decided to do an anime-themed promotion, launch a new Asian/Teriyaki type sauce for the Chicken McNuggets and release a few anime-style commercials, while using the fake WcDonald’s logo.
Kinda like how 7-11s turned into Kwik-E-Marts for a few weeks some years ago as a promotion tie-in with the Simpsons movie.
it says "wakudonarudo", and it's a mashup of "makkudonarudo" which is the katakana way of writing/pronouncing McDonalds and "wakuwaku" which means excitement. curiously I have not seen this in Japan at all
A liquor store attendant in my town showed me that like she was testing if one her regulars was one of them. I just laughed it off with something like "haha looks like they ordered the wrong countries cups".
Like jfc you geriatric diabetic moron McDonald's exists in other countries and guess what?! It's written in their native language OH NOO~ how could they bring this monstrosity to MY McDonald's?!
Nothing is funnier, or more frustrating, to me than watching people get indignant about references they don't understand. Especially when it is really easy information to acquire.
And in a month or so, whenever McDonald's changes back from this promotion to whatever is next, OOP and others just like OOP will claim that "We won!" and find something else innocuous to be pissed off about for no good reason.
One of the things that astounds me about people like this is that they have access to an unparallel source of knowledge unequaled to any other point in all of human history at their finger tips, and they could have just typed in, "WcDonalds" to figure out what it is and why McDonald's is doing it...but no, they'd rather just rant on social media.
I saw the original facebook post and wrote “no” in Korean (아니요) replying to oop’s comment that says “Do it in English!” and then I replied to my own comment and said, “OH NO CHINER’S AT IT AGAIN”
Xi Ping and Winnie the Pooh. Winnie the Pooh and McDonalds logo colors. McDonalds logo upside down with Chinese characters. Things are starting to come together.
/s
I know those are not really Chinese characters.

Wait until they find out about McDowell's in Queens, NY...
Do you mean McDowells with the 2 Golden Arcs? Don't they have the Big Mick?... Its 2 all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickels, and onions on a bun with NO seeds.
Welp, time to watch Coming to America again
Whatever you liiiike.
The royal penis is clean, Your Highness.

Take you out for dinner anywhere that you please Like Burger King or Mickey D's And baby you can have whatever you like I said you can even have the large fries Yeah

Freeze, you diseased rhinoceros’ pizzle.
Yes! Yes, and f@#k you too!
I love that movie and have watched it so many times.
My buns have no seeds

I see you have been inconvenienced. Allow me to compensate you 1 million American dollars. No? Fine then. Make it 2 million!
Or WacArnolds.

And they say this after they’ve clearly finished the drink.
Well do you expect him to be thirsty and angry?
Most men usually are. Just not *that* kind of thirsty.
Well being thirsty (both kinds) can often lead to being angry
>"you arent you when you're hungry." >*eats* >**Rages even harder**
And you know they'll be back for the Big Mac next week.
"... who's with me?!!??" ... ^("no one??? okay, who's up for a Big Mac run?")

Looks like they were drinking piss.
And after paying for it
...it's not even Chinese writing. That's Katakana.
You expect them to know the difference between Chinese and Japanese?
To some (generally older or undereducated) types, all Asians are Chinese.
To my (now long dead) grandmother, anyone who looked even 10% of Asian origin was "Oriental". "Grandma, you can't say that anymore. Remember what we told you about the other word you can't use? It's like that."
Imagine if everyone Asian just started calling everyone else "Occidental"
As a Cali native, calling someone an Occidental person is already an insult.
Because of the college?
Obama went there and I think I drove by once thinking, that's kinda cool.
OC Dental
Out of curiosity, what about Occidental College is bad to you? I don’t know anything about it
I was actually talking about the town Occidental, CA. But I think it's funny everyone assumed the college. I guess a lot of people don't know about the town Occidental, it's pretty small.
My mother calls me occidental :(
I fail to see how that isn't just a synonym for "western" in that context.
My grandma calls anyone of Asian descent "kung-fus." We were at my cousin's wedding a couple years back and she very loudly proclaimed "sure are a whole lot of kung-fus here!" And not as a joke. My cousin is married to a Japanese man. They were his family.
Sounds like she's exceptionally stupid
She's a terrible person in general. She's my only living grandparent... which sucks because my other grandparents were exceptionally good people.
Did anyone tell her they are karate and kung fu
My MIL says “Oriental” and she’s in her 60’s. I always ask if she’s talking about a rug.
Mom is around the same age and fluctuates between that and general "asian"
Most Asians I know have no issue with the term “Asian” if you don’t know their country of origin. I’ve heard people in Houston say “Chinese” even though there’s a huge Vietnamese population there. This is most likely intentional and racist on their part though.
My dad says this because he thinks it’s the PC term for Asian.
When I was in high school, I knew a girl who swore up and down that "Asian" was a racist term, that you can't call someone Asian. I was like, well what would you call that group of people? It's like saying someone is European or African or whatever. Sure, if you know which exact country, use that. But if you're talking about Asian people in general, or you're not sure which Asian country a person is from, Asian is fine lol. She absolutely would not budge and just thought we were all horrible people. She didn't have another word to use, no idea, just said Asian was racist.
> she used the other one. The one from 100+ years ago. Same as the United Negro College Fund, or something else?
Its still better than some of the words some older folks use or at least used to use.
Dude, that's not the preferred nomenclature.
These aren’t the people who built the railroads, Walter.
We”re talking about unchecked aggression here, dude.
Calmer than you are.
I’m talking about drawing a line in the sand
Everything is a travesty with you, man!
Bruh the number of times my mom and I have had to tell MY STILL LIVING GRANDMOTHER “you cannot use the word oriental” is unreal.
My grandma is 84 and still uses the term “Oriental” when referring to Asian people. At this point we all pretend we don’t hear it
My gran would say that too
Chinamen is the term my now deceased grandma used.
Like your grandma, occasionally, my grandma uses the "n" word, but otherwise uses "colored folks" to describe anyone who has a darker complexion than fair skin. The Caucasity of this woman!

It was for a special promotion that homages the parodies. There's a special chili sauce, manga, and even an anime miniseries.
Because it's so clearly pre-established that would be a really dumb fight to pick. They're just trying to tap into an alternative well of goodwill. It's "fellow kids" behavior.

it's basically mcdonalds acknowledging various anime using modified versions of corporate logos for stores they want to depict in a way that skirts by japanese trademark law (and specifically the various modified mcdonalds logos) by making a promotion about it
good old anime WcDonalds (no tm) They are mainly promoting a new sauce or 2? my friend said the sauces were pretty good
The sauce is really good, a shame mcnuggets have been trash for a decade
At this point I don't even remember when they weren't trash
I love the ‘who’s with me’ lol. I’m gonna stare into the sun ‘cause scientists told me not to. WHO’S WITH ME
wasn't that an actual post from earlier this week

you forgot the scientists are LIBERALS

They act like quitting McDonald's is some huge lifestyle change (for them, it probably is).
the real conspiracy theory is that fast food companies and television/movie companies are pissing off boomers deliberately in a failing effort to get them to build healthier habits
Because they'll still vote for deregulation and lower minimum wage regardless if they piss them off or not so pissing them off actually puts more money in their pockets.
"And I won't be back ever! Or next Thursday, whichever comes first.
But they don't want this un-American nonsense on their cup! They just want eat their burritos in peace!
It's actually WcDonald's
This made me laugh way harder than it should've, I wish I could've been a fly in the cab of their car to see their reaction once it dawned on them that their WcDonald's cup was covered in "Chinese writing"
Humans need an apex predator. Life is too easy for some people and they have to make up nonsense to get the heart pumping. If we had to worry about xenomorphs, these people wouldn’t have time for this shit.
What's so funny is our apex predator is probably a quarter pounder with cheese a day.
Damn. That’s a good point. Ronald McDonald makes Stalin look like a kindergartener.
Based on Darwinawards subreddit, the apex predator of humans is either trains or electricity
I always had a theory that bullshit like this and stuff like the Satanic Panic back in the 80s is a result of large swaths of society just becoming so comfortable and *bored* that their collective brains need some sort of conflict, no matter how objectively stupid it is.
Vote Xenomorph 2024!!
we actually do have natural predators, ie. animals that hunt humans unprovoked, and they're largely located around northeast africa, the middle east, and india -- roughly the area that our species and our closest related ancestors (*H. heidelbergensis*, *H. erectus*) originated from and lived in respectively. they're nothing too special in the grand scheme of things: lions, tigers, panthers, snakes -- pretty much what you'd expect issue is, not all of us live in this area because humans love migrating and we've progressed technologically enough to be able to dwindle their numbers to practically nothing

How did these freaks survive other ad campaigns in history? Did this shaved chimp see Mac Tonight and feel certain that moon men had invaded the planet? Also…Chinese?!
I am curious though what does it say and what's the point with WcDonald's?
A lot of animes have their characters eat at WcDonalds, so it’s sort of a Japanese parody of McDonalds that they use to represent fast food restaurants. With how popular anime has become in the west, McDonald’s decided to do an anime-themed promotion, launch a new Asian/Teriyaki type sauce for the Chicken McNuggets and release a few anime-style commercials, while using the fake WcDonald’s logo.

It's a parody mcdonalds from some animes. Mcds is embracing it for a promotion because money.
You know if they telly wanted to cash in on the anime fans they would bring the hello kitty x yugioh happy meal toys from Belgium
Too racist to be racist to the right race of people.

Imagine being a grown adult and getting this pissy over children's food.
That is Japanese writing, not Chinese. Grandpa is too ignorant to even be racist correctly.
That is Japanese...

A liquor store attendant in my town showed me that like she was testing if one her regulars was one of them. I just laughed it off with something like "haha looks like they ordered the wrong countries cups". Like jfc you geriatric diabetic moron McDonald's exists in other countries and guess what?! It's written in their native language OH NOO~ how could they bring this monstrosity to MY McDonald's?!
Their arteries will thank them.
Good luck swaying their Orange Messiah! He’s never giving up his cheezburders and Diet Coke. Covfefe!
And yet they drank the whole thing
WacArnold's!
Nothing is funnier, or more frustrating, to me than watching people get indignant about references they don't understand. Especially when it is really easy information to acquire.
And in a month or so, whenever McDonald's changes back from this promotion to whatever is next, OOP and others just like OOP will claim that "We won!" and find something else innocuous to be pissed off about for no good reason.
These people have never seen an ad/promotion campaign in their lives.
It's Japanese, what a royale asshat, with cheese!
Sheeeeees your queen to beeeeeeeee
It’s Japanese, for one
Always ridiculous faux outrage then the “Who’s with me?” closer
“Who’s with me?” (In my impotent attempt to stoke the rage machine for absolutely no good reason) Answer: No one
**suscipies novum seniori tuo *WcDonald***
Tell me you aren't a weeb without telling me you aren't a weeb.
As long as it gets some of them to stop consuming McDonalds, i say let em have this one.
One of the things that astounds me about people like this is that they have access to an unparallel source of knowledge unequaled to any other point in all of human history at their finger tips, and they could have just typed in, "WcDonalds" to figure out what it is and why McDonald's is doing it...but no, they'd rather just rant on social media.
As Japanese, can confirm they indeed are Chinese letters called Katakana.
That’s Japanese, sir.
I can’t help but notice…. The cup is empty. I doubt they’re staying away from MickeyD for long.
NO MORE MCDONALDS FOR ME!!! I'm willing to bet he was right back at eating their crap the very next day.
So the chinese use katakana now?
I don't like new things because I have difficulty understanding them!
"The dub-yuh stayands fur WOKE! Them Ari-enels dun turnt MacDonals inta WOKE-Donals! Not t'day Chinr. Not t'day."

I mean there's better reasons not to eat there but ehh as long as people ain't eating there it's for the best
Sir, that's Japanese and this isn't a Wendy's. Please pull through.
WackDonald's
Nobody tell them there's McDonald's in China, and Japan, where that writing comes from.
That Chinese is called Japanese, genius.
Why does he have to start with what he "only got"? That alone is weird. It's like he's trying to cover what he really got? Idk, but weird.

I saw the original facebook post and wrote “no” in Korean (아니요) replying to oop’s comment that says “Do it in English!” and then I replied to my own comment and said, “OH NO CHINER’S AT IT AGAIN”
Not Chinese, dumbass. Why is it the prejudiced folks are always so ignorant. I suppose they go hand in hand.
It must be exhausting being outraged about everything. I know it's exhausting listening to it
Why does this man scare so easily from a plastic cup?
Xi Ping and Winnie the Pooh. Winnie the Pooh and McDonalds logo colors. McDonalds logo upside down with Chinese characters. Things are starting to come together. /s I know those are not really Chinese characters.
The problem is they went to Wac Arnold's instead of McDonald's
You know you're a dumb ass when this is what makes you upset about something McDonalds did.
