Chinese McDonald’s Introduces Symbolic Black and White Meal
In America, fast food giant McDonald’s has cornered the market for
quick, on-the-go meals for quite some time. It’s burger business has
also become a global force as well, with McDonald’s in other countries
The Bejinger got to the bottom of the impetus behind the release of
the burgers, with some speculating that the color scheme was to
represent the “yin-yang” sign.
A colleague informed us they’re a play on a Chinese phrase: heibai
liangdao tongchi ( 黑白两道通吃 ), which describes people who are so
well-connected with both the government (that’s the “white” side) and
organized crime (“black” society, as it’s called in Chinese) that they
can “eat from both sides.” – In other words, someone who has a foot
in both camps.
Chinese blog Beijing Cream gave this scathing review.
This meal offends everyone. I would sooner eat a century egg bathed
in stinky tofu with a chicken-foot garnish than order this again.
Don’t expect this meal to hit domestic shores anytime soon.

If your Doritos Super Bowl ad wins, you get a movie jobThe next Transformers movie could have an unlikely film credit: yours.
Doritos, the Frito-Lay brand that has embraced the Super Bowl as the salty snack's sweet spot for consumer-
generated commercials, on Wednesday will announce plans to seriously boost the booty in its seventh annual Crash
the Super Bowl contest.
Doritos will link up with one of Hollywood's most successful directors, Michael Bay, whose Transformersfilms have
created a movie empire.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon, ranks as the fifth-highest-grossing movie of all time by raking in $1.2 billion at the box
office. Bay also directed Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, Bad Boys and The Rock.
The consumer who creates the top-ranked Doritos commercial aired during the Super Bowl -- as determined by USA
TODAY'S Ad Meter consumer poll of best-liked Super Bowl commercials -- wins the chance to work with Bay on the
next installment of the Transformers movie franchise, to be filmed in 2013.
In an age of social-media hype and online overload, marketers are increasingly looking for ways to stand out. With this
PR-seeking promo, Doritos aims to not only break through the Super Bowl clutter but to add another notch to its recent
history of generating some of the Super Bowl's top commercials.
