McDonald's + Olympics = New Game!

So I know I'm extremely behind in my blogging and actually have a lot to report back on, including my experiment with frying chicken wings and a meatball project collaboration with a few friends (a surprising learning experience!), but I just read an exciting piece of news: McDonald's has yet another Monopoly-esque promotion!

For those of you who know me (and/or have read my previous posts about McDonald's), you know that I am a huge sucker for anything involving "free" game pieces that involve the potential to win money, free food, etc. Imagine my surprise and joy when reading the McDonald's press release introducing their new OLYMPICS game! Like McDonald's, this promotion involves game pieces fixed to the packaging of select McDonald's products; unlike the Monopoly promotion, this one seems to also be promoting McDonald's new "healthy" image. For a limited time, purchase any item off of their "McDonald's Favorites Under 400 Calories" menu to be eligible for a chance to win various prizes, including electronics, money, free food, etc.

...it looks like I will be eating a whole lot of McDonald's until this promotion expires!!!
