This spot by DDB Chicago for McDonald’s puts a new spin on the five second rule. What might be just one french fry for you could be an entire civilization’s miracle – a tasty, salty, golden end to many a hard and labourious year under the dark pall of a french fry famine. But hey, when it comes down to a Mickey D’s french fry, we’d forsake the tiny civilization living in our car too. Though we’d feel guilty. For about five seconds. What the hell are they doing in that dude’s car anyway? Get an ant farm or something man. And for the record, we wish that one of the little people had said, ‘They may take our fries, but they’ll never take…OUR FREEDOM!’ That would have been sweet on so many levels.
