McDonald's Quarter Pounder is back!

I am a sucker for advertisements, promotions, new products, new places to eat, new menu, new arrivals etc. I am a marketer's dream consumer: the one who actually reads the ads, try out the products and even recommend to friends. I know the marketers are appealing to my wants, not needs and if I am not in Marketing myself, I would have gotten 'conned' even more! But still I cannot resist the lure of the various media I am exposed to!

For the past few days, I have seen the latest McDonald's tv commercial. I have also received their email blast and sms notification about their Quarter Pounder with cheese burger. It is back!

My bro and I were underweight when we were young. In an attempt to fatten us up, they fed us with McDonalds. Quarter pounder with cheese, no less. It was always a treat to go to McDonalds! We lovin' it! We were still very skinny when we were young but now.... oh well!!

I feel that McDonalds is appealing to my emotional needs and I couldn't resist, I simply have to eat the burger. So I dragged my hubby (without difficulty!) to McDonalds for dinner just now! Hmm... I think the taste is not the same as what I remembered. The meat is not as juicy as what I ate when I was young, and when I was in US.

Now there is a new Double Quarter Pounder with cheese burger! Check out the photos on this blog. Do they make you drool???
