McDonald’s Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Frappé “Make Your Day” Ad

In this spot for McDonald’s, people have something unfortunate happen to them, like a scarf getting shut in a cab door driving off without them (actually, a lot luckier than being dragged and strangled by it, I’d think, but whatever you value more: scarves or lives, I guess…), a couple arriving at a box office just as the show is sold out, and someone doing laundry pulling a teensy sweater that was shrunk to a ridiculous extent out of a commercial drier (this happens a lot more than you might think); and then, to make them feel better, a pretty brunette McDonald’s employee steps up to make their disappointment feel better by offering them a McDonald’s Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Frappé, which the people drink and get happy. (Actually, to look at it, I’d think it’s really a Strawberry-Covered Chocolate Frappe, but as we all know, looks can be deceiving.)

This is all nice on the surface and everything, but how did this woman know where to be to make these people feel better after bad experiences, holding a frozen drink, no less? I am beginning to think this McDonald’s agent may have engineered all these disasters just so she could be at the right place at the right time to deliver something to make them feel better, and then film it secretly for a commercial (!!).

Could it be a conspiracy?

Here’s the happy Frappé ad:


(I wonder if Isadora Duncan was welcomed into the afterlife with one of these Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Frappés when she was killed by her scarf getting tangled up into a car’s back wheels?)

Here’s Isadora Duncan’s information:
