'The intern did it again': Netizens are full of jokes about McDonald's new 'marketing campaign'

'The intern did it again': Netizens are full of jokes about McDonald's new 'marketing campaign'

Almost everyone got a message from McDonald's asking if they should get podina and no one's sure if it's a mistake or an ad.
10 Aug, 2021

Almost everyone in Pakistan seems to have received a message from McDonald's, asking if they should get podina (mint leaves). No one is sure if this is a marketing tactic or a mistake by a diligent intern but that hasn't stopped them from making fun of it online.

One man didn't just want mint leaves, he gave them his whole grocery list.

They got someone's order wrong.

One user had a solution to this problem.

Someone got the feeling the person behind the message was a mom pleaser.

Another person was irritated at their marketing tactics.

Many people thought an intern messed up.

Or maybe it was the marketing guy.

Some people were feeling left out

One user was a KFC stan through and through.

This is almost certainly a marketing campaign but we have to say, it's pretty weird. Brands have been using the strangest strategies to get people's attention and McDonald's is no different. Remember that anday wala burger campaign the company did with Ali Gul Pir?

We aren't sure what they're marketing this time — perhaps a mint lemonade? — but the campaign has certainly piqued everyone's interest. What do you think the campaign is for?

Lot of spare time available to spoil with our youngsters during this pandemic break.

This is another effective marketing technique to get consumers attention via unconventional messages. More such silly messages are planned and will be introduced to attract cheap publicity.

That’s funny. One doesn’t have to be jobless to participate or enjoy such things, just have to have a sense of humor.

All those criticizing McDonalds for this message; you all need to understand this is a very effective marketing technique to grab consumers' attention. Not sure about the commentators here, but the message definitely grabbed my attention.
