moneycentral.msn.com— All-things-plastic interiors will be replaced with comfy chairs and an iPod-like look, but Ronald McDonald and the golden arches get to stick around.

"Comfy chairs and couches" "fabric"Yeah, let's wait until people with ketchup and grease covered hands have been touching these for about a month. Fantastic idea.They tore down the McDonalds here to build a new one with this feel. Fireplace, hanging lights, Flatscreens. Then you turn around and notice the employees, the 'kitchen' and the food. Kind of ruins it. Glad I don't eat there.
OUCH!..my head hurts!!!..there's too many "mac's" in this!!..will we get to see a "celebrity death match" with Uncle Steve and Ronald?....what if Apple made a supercomputer and named it the "Big Mac"?....could you ask for extra cheese or gigs or something?......
Yes, but notice in most of those rebuttal experiments the people limited themselves to the healthier options or limited their caloric intake. And I woudn't be surprised if they also had an excercise regimen that consisted of more than Madden'06 and 12oz curls.McDonald's dollar menu is driving much of their business now, not the salad options.
McDonald's is viewed much differently in Asia than in the USA. Where we look down on it as crap, there it's considered somewhat "haute."They're a popular hangout for students since home is often cramped. Parents like it because it's brightly lit, clean, safe environment. And it's socially equalizing in some cultures where it's common practice in restaurants to try and out do the neighboring table by ordering something grander.
OH MY self, I was actually thinking of the same thing yesterday while being a passenger in my friends car, I saw a McDonald's establishment and was like =_= that red and yellow plus other distasteful colors has to go... But I couldn't figure out anything other than my style of choice now which is vector simplicity like apple tends to want to use.I hope they do it, It could be a really big boom for McD'z.
If you want a story to get read on the net then just use the word ipod somewhere. ipod - checkmac - checknano - hmmm they must have forgot to use the word nano...

Did you see the slideshow? <a class="user" href="http://images.businessweek.com/ss/06/05/mcdonalds/index_01.htm?campaign_id=msn_mcd">http://images.businessweek.com/ss/06/05/mcdonalds/index_01.htm?campaign_id=msn_mcd</a>There are lots of comfy chairs with white and light-colored upholstery. Did McDonald's design firm invent some kind of magic ketchup-proof fabric technology?

Obviously so that the low-class users can feel high-class. That's how it works.
