There are times when McDonald\u2019s unexpectedly goes viral. Examples of this can be found when McDonald\u2019s workers make \u201cpreposterous mistakes\u201d with customers\u2019 orders, like when a woman ordered three McChickens but ended up with three boxes of shredded lettuce instead. Now, McDonald\u2019s has gone viral again after releasing a \u201cpro-family\u201d propaganda advert in Japan. \u201cWonderful\u201d McDonald\u2019s advert showing animated family bonding over fast food has viewers divided. The Japanese advertisement is animation-styled, focused on a core family unit of a mother, father, and their daughter. The video showed the family sitting around a table cluttered with McDonald\u2019s brown bags, including McDonald\u2019s Halloween toys resting near the screen. The mother and father fed their daughter fries from their order in the wholesome advertisement while calming lo-fi music gently chimed in the background. Viewers rushed to the comments section, some loving the video and others seeing it as propaganda. \u201cMcDonald\u2019s singlehandedly fixing the declining birthrates,\u201d one viewer commented, referring to Japan\u2019s political push to increase their birth rate, which currently sits at 1.3 children per woman, below the estimated average of 2.1 to ensure a stable population. Others saw past the political undercurrent, praising the advertisement for its wholesome values. \u201cSuch a wholesome ad! I\u2019m glad Japan still has its cultural values.\u201d One person commented. \u201cAmazing ad, brought me into a vibe and nostalgia where responsibility wasn\u2019t so heavy!\u201d Yet another added. McDonald\u2019s has also advertised their partnership with Pokemon for 2023, launching some new cards for customers to earn \u2013 like Feucoco, Sprigatito, and Quaxly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The internet can\u2019t get enough of this Japanese McDonald\u2019s ad McDonald&#8217;s \/ Unsplash: emil huangMcDonald\u2019s is going viral on Twitter after releasing a Japanese advertisement that shows a family enjoying a meal together.
