McDonalds Offers Man Day Deal In China

May 20, 2011

To celebrate the introduction of 100% real beef in their burgers (so it wasn't real beef before?), McDonalds in China has announced a special promotion: Man Day!  It's a pretty weird deal. Male customers get half off their second burger on Wednesdays from 5 to 8 p.m. before June 7. Quick, let me consult my calendar. That means you have six hours (May 25th and June 1, between 5 and 8) to enjoy this deal.

The deal is also limited to the chain's beef burgers like the Big Mac and the Double Bacon Cheeseburger, so you won't get a discount on any Filet-O-Fish burgers. General manager Cao Wen Bao of McDonald's China said that women and children have received special offers before at the chain, so this latest promotion was designed to let men know that the burger chain hasn't forgotten them. The solution is apparently an extremely limited, overtly sexist promotion. Good work.
