McD on Aids

The American fast food giant McDonald’s recently declared that they are going to give their products a makeover in terms of the design. A photo of the new look was leaked already around new year’s and the members of the online community Reddit quickly noticed a slight problem with the new look. You see, at first glance most people would read the name “McDonald’s” upon the packages - so far so good. Others, however, read something totally different that might not be too appealing when combined with food namely - McD on Aids.

This error in terms of playing with words was most likely not intended and it’s, to say the least, not very politically correct. It does however become rather hilarious due to the fact that the company used a total of 7 (!) different design agencies to create the new design and presumably splashed a rather large amount of coin into the new design.

It remains to be seen whether McDonald’s are going to realize their mistake and change the design or if they are set upon making “Aids Burgers” the trend of 2016.
