McDonald's
The Golden Arches are going for the gold with McDonald's new fruit smoothies, which the company will serve in its Olympic restaurants in Canada at the Winter Games.
The fast-food giant unveiled its Strawberry Banana and Wild Berry Real Fruit Smoothies on Thursday at the Olympic media center in Vancouver, Nations Restaurant News reported.
McDonald's executives showed off the new line of beverages with gold medalists Cassie Campbell, a Canadian hockey player; Shawn Johnson, an American gymnast; Picabo Street, a skier for the U.S.; and German ice skater Katarina Witt.
The two flavors of smoothies will be offered in McDonald's three Olympic restaurants in Vancouver and Whistler, British Columbia, during the Winter Games' run for the next two weeks.
The company plans to have the icy beverages on the menu in McDonald's locations in the U.S. by summertime as part of its McCafe menu -- which includes a variety of coffee drinks.
The smoothies' debut came as part of the company's launch of activities around the world for the 2010 Olympics. McDonald's has been an official sponsor of the Games since 1976.
The three McDonald's Olympic locations – at the Main Media Center in Vancouver and the Olympic Villages in Vancouver and Whistler -- will be open 24 hours a day and feed an estimated 3,000 members of the press and 10,000 athletes, coaches and officials, according to NRN.
Opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics will be held Friday night in Vancouver and air on NBC.

2-16-2010 @3:35PM John said... Yeah...I'm pretty sure you are mentally insane.
2-16-2010 @3:36PM Rachelvis said... I disagree with 100%, you say its toxic and its for the cows babies....well it is made for the cows young, but they produce so much milk and its absolutely good for us humans, our bones,
it has tons of calcium, and your not hurting the cow...and trust me those babies get plenty, and
the cows are more than willing to give us humans more, and there is a process we have to go through so its safe for humans to drink....So why the " Milk Sucks" its good for you and most farmers do everything in their power to feed these cows the best food possible, and if I were a cow and I would rather be there giving milk, than in that line to be slaughtered...again milk is good for you. my opinion, I love a good glass of milk with my oreos, and also what else can you put in your cereal that is a perfect match, milk...so where you got its toxic, is just one of those links that
hates milk, but again, its really good for you. maybe you need to change the milk your drinking.
I do the 2% Hilland milk, and its soooooooooooooo good in my coffee, with cereal, cookies...
you name it....but not all people hate milk, I don't , I think its the best thing a human beings
has ever put on the market.

It's not like they're getting mistreated while the worker are getting what they need. I also don't believe it's toxic. It's one of the good healthy form of beverage for young kids. If cow milk if toxic then is the mother breastmilk toxic for the babies that they feed. Yeah there's tons food out there that are toxic, but I don't believe milk is one of them.
2-17-2010 @2:21AM Billie said... I love milk and give it to my son everyday. I also breast feed my son when he was younger and let me tell you when breast become too full with milk they hurt like hell. You are more than happy to nurse. Imagine the pain these dairy cows would be in if they were not milked on a regular basis. I don't think it is wrong to pump breast milk and feed it to a baby. Cows milk is healthy and very much needed for healthy children.
2-16-2010 @4:56PM Christa said... Did you happen to know that dairy cows produce milk from the time they give birth to their first calf? And this milk production is so great in volume that if they are not milked they will die. So what's so inhumane about not letting cow's udders painfully fill with so much milk that they explode? I'm not seeing what you're talking about here.

2-16-2010 @5:58PM Bm said... I think it is very sad how corrupt our nation is. People worry about milking cows when thousands of babys are aborted every day.Their bones are crushed and their organs are sucked out. That is inhumane.

REPENT !!

2-15-2010 @3:11PM gerry said... Most smoothies are made with tons of salt and sugar, and they dont need to be cause fruit has plenty of natural sugar, just taste a banana or strawberry and the natural flavor is great. I wish they would come out with a banana ice cream that is all banana. . I won't be embibing on these smoothies, cause i can eat regular ice cream instead, with about the same amount of sugar. When are they going to stop lying to the public, with their false advertising? I dont get why stores chains etc dont just make it cleaner and healthier, cause it would cost less money. I guess they think the consumer wont pay for healthy, so we are all going to get fatter and unhealthier except for the ceos who go out and buy the healthy stuff at a higher price. oh well

2-16-2010 @6:26PM Nikki said... Actually, I work at McDonald's in my home town and we have to take tons of tutorials on everything we make. The smoothies will be all natural, made with low-fat dairy products and fresh produce. We will get it prepackaged at the store, but the company will make and package it themselves. They use the best products they can in every situation and provide as much information to their customers as they can about nutrition and content.
2-15-2010 @3:22PM gerry said... I have seen some really good advice on these posts, but, apparently, nobody is listening to any of them. It's a shame.

I wish I could grow my own produce and milk my own damn cows. I don't feel it is inhumane to use milk cheese and butter, as long as the animals are not mistreated. it is better for them than the alternative. Whatever happened to the popularity of free range animals? Was it a fad too, because they couldnt make a zillion dollars off it. If a farmer in texas would rent me a field, for not too much, I would appreciate it. I am just babbling now, but still it would be nice
