True story, McRib is a year-round item on German McDonald's menus.

10/13/2010 4:56:34 PM

supposedly (and DROD, one of the less annoying things Herd has ever said), the McRib is going to be available nationwide for the first time in 16 years

I assume when I've had one in the last 16 years it wasn't available in every other part of the country at that time

10/13/2010 5:13:03 PM

i've never had one

10/13/2010 5:19:02 PM

as far as fast food goes, i actually like them

although i know plenty of people who think they are disgusting

10/13/2010 5:20:16 PM

I suppose I will try one... I also need to try the double down too



what other fast food gems have I missed? I had the arch deluxe (liked that), the baconator (didn't like that), triple thick burger (that was stupid)...

Quote :

""In 2000, the US promotion was halted after fraud was uncovered. A subcontracting company called Simon Marketing (a then-subsidiary of Cyrk), which was hired by McDonald's to organize and promote the game, failed to recognize a flaw in its procedures, and the chief of security, Jerome P. Jacobson,[1] was able to remove the "most expensive" game pieces, which he then passed to associates who would redeem them and share the proceeds. ... In 1995, St. Jude's Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee received an anonymous letter postmarked Dallas, Texas, containing a $1 million winning game piece. Although game rules prohibited the transfer of prizes, McDonald's waived the rule and is making the $50,000 annual payments.[4] Investigations later indicated, and Jacobson himself admitted, that he had sent the winning piece to the hospital.[5]""

This is all missing from Wikipedia now.

Thats it? Guess I have no need to go this year. I always get a quarter-pounder meal with a large drink (usually sweet tea) but keep the fries medium. So I wouldn't get any pieces at all this year

9/28/2011 3:10:20 PM

Not sure if hash browns are still $1 but that was the best deal last year during Monopoly

Though if you really want to collect some game pieces, hit up some construction sites. Those mexicans eat Mcdonalds a lot and never check the pieces before tossing them in near the trash

Vermont is the rare piece with an approximate 1 in 206,036 chance of finding that tile. The other tiles, Oriental Avenue and Connecticut Avenue, are both 1 in 11. Winning that set will net you a hundred dollars."

to win $100?? damn no wonder I've never known anyone who has won anything but free food

9/28/2011 5:41:33 PM

¦Virginia Avenue ($200 SpaWish® Gift Certificate, 250 prizes) – 1 in approx. 2,472,425

Wow. I'd actually be pissed if I beat 1:2,472,425 odds to win a $200 spa gift certificate. I'd probably just toss it in the garbage.

pulled a Park Place on my cool drank earlier

i figure I'll get Boardwalk on my mcmuffin tomorrow morning

9/28/2011 8:08:09 PM

whats the cheapest way for me to maximize game pieces per dollar, at breakfast only, and not die....

I'm thinking hash browns and a tea? That should be more than enough calories to get to lunch for $2



[Edited on September 29, 2011 at 8:24 AM. Reason : dswilla got the rare ones for the year]

9/29/2011 8:24:21 AM

Game pieces are on the medium drink, not the large.

9/29/2011 8:35:39 AM

^^ Egg McMuffins actually aren't that bad for you compared to a lot of the other shit on their menu.

You won't get pieces on the iced tea b/c its a large and no pieces on the large.

It sucks b/c the large tea is only $1

9/29/2011 9:33:37 AM

LeBron James "selling-out" on the commercials.

Not sure how I feel about that.

10/2/2011 3:30:52 PM

I remember when I was in high school I ate lunch at McDonalds everyday just to see, if I could win anything. I won some free food and every easy piece, but I never got any of the final rare pieces.

"we did something similar...heard about which Sunday was gonna run the game pieces...stole about 4 or 5 streets' papers right after the paper guy delivered them...also hit up a few machines probably got like 400 newspapers...we all had tons of free burgers and fries and drinks a week or so later at spring break no special prizes though...just food items...and no rare pieces like boardwalk either...just food [Edited on October 16, 2009 at 3:23 PM.

I love how in the commercial the lady peels off a piece from her drink and casually says "Look, I won a million dollars!"

The chances are more than 1 in 500,000,000. Worse than the lottery. If I won $1m I'd be doing backflips off the table screaming

10/2/2011 7:44:22 PM

I wouldn't say shit- i'd probably look startled for a little bit and then get the hell back home as soon as possible- don't wanna get jacked!

10/2/2011 8:13:03 PM

If I ended up with a 1 mil. instant winner I'd book a flight to McD's headquarters and hand deliver that shit.

10/2/2011 10:15:59 PM

got a Boardwalk piece this morning

maybe tomorrow i'll travel to Cali to get a Park Place piece

10/3/2011 11:59:56 AM

My luck would be if I won the million dollars, I'd also get simultaneously hit by a piece of space junk, hit by lightning at least 3 times and survive, bitten by a pack of wild dogs, get rabies, get cured of rabies, get MRSA, loose a leg, and then have an aortic aneuyrsm. And then what was left of the money would be left to my kids, but the Federal government would take most of that. I think I am better off not winning.

MRSA isn't that bad, there's a lot of things you can treat it with.

10/3/2011 5:44:18 PM

There's a McD's down the block and people here occaisonally grab something for lunch, and subsequently leave their refuse in the break room trash can. Since this game started, one guy here, lets call him "Desmond" has been rummaging thru the trash to scavenge game pieces that others hadn't bothered to peel off. Even if he wins something, and I'm hoping he doesn't, who does that? Its just above scrounging for used condoms.

10/3/2011 5:48:03 PM

^lol i do that

(scrounge for used condoms, not mcdonalds monopoly pieces)

10/3/2011 6:54:33 PM

Back in like 2005, I got to know one of the employees that would work the drive-thru at the McDonalds in Crossroads. I went there like every other day during Monopoly that year. One day, she gave me an entire sleeve of cups w/ game pieces on them.


I don't remember what I won thought. I think it was just a couple food items

10/4/2011 8:45:27 AM

I used to work at a summer camp where twice a week we would get mcdonalds for 60-80 kids. We would always get 1 large fry per two kids and split them. Unfortunately everything else we got didn't have pieces. Didn't once win anything better then free food despite getting hundreds of pieces.

10/4/2011 12:17:59 PM

I ate lunch there yesterday and got my first game pieces:

Connecticut Avenue
St. James Place
Indiana Avenue

Rewards: Quarter Pounder w/ cheese... lol
