That's right folks, walk into any Argentine Maccas and you will not see McDonald's crown jewel on its menu. Is it scandalous? Maybe not for you, the good people standing at an altar decorated with yellow arches, exchanging balloon wedding rings, whispering sweet nothings to each other - but I promise you, this will be a scandal for your kids and their kids and hell, even their kids one day.
Luckily, this phenomena has been contained within Hong Kong, where wedding parties at the fast food empire have become so popular that fifteen venues have now introduced a dedicated wedding service. The offering came into play after many customers reported that McDonald's was the location of their first date not even going to ask how that turned into a second date - and being that, they felt the multinational corporate chain was the obvious wedding venue choice.

Creatives: "Let's use the least appealing part of your business and use that to lure people in. Do it. Hell, use gherkin-hate to bond with anyone.
Maybe mutual gherkin-hate is a cure-all solution for any relational problems - from fixing broken families to seducing would-be lovers see McWeddings above.

Macca Dees claims "everything tastes better when it tastes like the Big Mac", and auctioneers seem to be agreeing we don't.
