Game on. Now through November 3rd, McMonopoly has begun at participating restaurants all across the country.
My personal love affair with McMonopoly began as a child. My parents used to take my sister and I to McDonald's on Saturdays for lunch to teach us manners for eating out. Despite all the great toys like muppet characters, and that one time when we collected every single color of plastic traincar, McMonopoly was the best time of year. I loved collecting the pieces, trading them with my sister, trying to coordinate with friends, and of course the instant wins. The aesthetic pleasure of peeling off a game piece is still not lost on me. Simple pleasures.
This is the one time of the year I eat a lot of fast food. I tend to grab a Diet Coke whenever I go by a McDonald's. There is something, somewhere in my brain, that justifies this as an investment (because this year I'm going to win).
Here are the items that have game pieces this year:
- Medium and Large Coffee (no espresso drinks)
- McSkillet® Burrito
- Southern Style Chicken Sandwhich
- Big Mac®
- Premium Chicken Sandwiches
- Large French Fries
- Medium & Large Fountain Drinks
- Hash Browns
