cha cha slide ya'll!

i love the new McDonald's commerical with the little boy and his family eating dinner together. i like the commerical because it shows that McDonald's now has a variety of foods that people can choose from. things that are more healthy and not fried. the little boy is eating apple dippers and dancing to the cha cha slide at the same time. apples are healthy and kids like then when dipped in caramel. the commerical also shows that McDonald's can bring families together, especially during dinner time.
i was really engaged into the commercial first b/c of the song. i heard the cha cha slide song then looked to see what it was relating to. then i watched a few seconds of the commerical and saw a cute boy, in a jumpsuit, with a big boom box on his shoulder going to the dinner table to join the rest of his family for dinner. i kept watching b/c i wanted to see what happened next. the boy was also dancing along with the song and doing what the words were saying in the song. the rest of his family enjoyed watching him and decided to kindly join in.
as we watched in class McDonald's commericals are now relating to a more diverse group of people and relating to anyone around the world. anyone can watch this commerical and want to go get McDonald's. after i saw it i wanted to try the apple dippers from there. the commericals are now fun with alot of music and dancing. you can actually enjoy the commerials and laugh along with them. they are upbeat, hip, modern, and family oriented. i also like how McDonald's now has a nutrition label on everything.

I had never seen this commercial until I clicked on your blog! I absolutely LOVE it! :) The little boy is so chill and serious at the same time it's great! I think McDonald's did a great job on this ad. Plus I was getting tired of hearing the "i'm lovin' it" jingle all over the place. I hope they are going to do more ads like this one for there other products and side items :)

This commercial is too cute! You absolutely right it shows the family orientation of McDonalds along with their new choices of side. The little boy seems happy to have his apple dippers and milk in front of him. Not like most kids who may pitch a fit for eating fruit. The commercial is a great new strategy for McDonalds and could be viewed all over the world.
