Default McDonald's.. Who are they kidding?

As someone in food, and marketing, I've long been a McDonald's admirer.. until these last few weeks... Have to say that I'm wholly turned off by McD's claiming in ads how 'they've worked endlessly to create a perfect chicken sandwich'...

Really? Endlessly? Tirelessly? They're totally full of crap.

They've ripped off Southern fast food institution Chick Fil 'A so obviously with this sandwich that it's shameful. But to then posture like they thought up a white meat filet on a fluffy bun with pickles? They should drop dead. Truett Cathy, the self-styled evangelical chairman of Chick Fil 'A, came up with that tidbit 40 years ago and built a helluva chain on the concept.

Oh.. And that chicken biscuit McDonald's wants you to think they 'developed'? Uh.. Bojangles, Popeyes and Biscuitville have had them for 25 years.

They should be embarassed at Oak Brook.
