Taco Bell gets actual Ronald McDonalds to punt its food.

[iframe_youtube video = “PKAcOawiaNk”]

Taco Bell dug pretty deep in the phone book for a new commercial that ignites a Pepsi-versus-Coke-esque war, taking a jab at McDonald’s in the name (pun not intended) of promoting its breakfast. In this commercial, the QSR found a handful of Ronald McDonalds across the States and had them tell acclaimed director Errol Morris and his crew how much they genuinely like the Taco Bell meal. We’ll be watching with a close eye to see if McDonald’s keeps this banter going with an equally witty retort. Here’s hoping.
