Finally, some truth in advertising. Dig this spot for McDonald’s fourth annual “Great Tastes of America” promotion in the UK, a five-week program involving the introduction every Wednesday of a new American-themed burger.
Beginning with the New York Special, Mickey Dee’s “Great Tastes of America” will also feature the Chicago Supreme, New Orleans Deluxe, Miami Melt, and Texas Grande burger. A “United Mates” game runs with the burger promotion with prizes including tickets to see American bands performing in UK venues.
