You'd think a muti-billion dollar company like Mc Donalds with all of it's resources, experience and swag would experience little or no failures. Right? ... Wrong!

Here's proof it experiences failure just like me and you. Maybe more!

But of course the difference was and still is they keep pushing forward and learning from their failures like we should.

Check Out Some of The Bonehead Mistakes Mc Donalds still makes. It will help you be a little less hard on yourself -- and encourage you that it happens to some of the best ... they just don't broadcast it.

  Touché.
  
  In terms of marketing, brilliant--perhaps.
  
  In terms of what they're putting in people's bodies (especially kids), absolutely disgusting.
  
  Thanks

  I used to LOVE the McDLT! Wish they brought it back!
  
  Good point though, and it does put failure in a different light. Like the Edison quote.
  
  Thanks

  wordwizard,
  
  Although I'm not a big McDonald's guy, the McDLT was one of my favorites there...
  
  These days, when I'm in a carnivorous mood, I head to Good Times for a "Big Daddy Bacon Cheeseburger" made with Meyer All-Natural Angus Beef... It is off the chain! :-)
  
  All The Best,

  Thanks

  Interesting point. I know you said it tongue in cheek. But their marketing rivals Disney, especially when it comes to children. The average 2 or 3 year old can't read but they recognize where they are when they see those Golden Arches.

No such things as failures. Just something learned!

You're right about their marketing being like Disney... but, Disney blows McDonalds out of the water when it comes to customer service and guest experience.

  Well said. : )
  
  It was Edison (I believe) who said: "Don't call it a failure, call it an education." (Which is even more relevant for IM.)
  
  Thanks
