McDonald's recently wished everyone a happy Navratri using just two French fries in a really really cute way. This is day 5 of 100 days of crazy advertisements. Now in this poster, two people are holding one fry each and crossing them over almost like Dandia sticks. McDonald's even added small rings of ketchup on the fries so that they look like rings on garbha sticks. And if you look at it a little bit differently, it also looks like two friends doing cheers with their fries. So without any unnecessary sales pitch or any order now kind of advertisements, McDonald's found a way to put themselves beautifully in the middle of the festive season. And I think even if you hide their logo in the corner, everyone would still be able to recognize that these are exactly McDonald's fries. I personally found this very interesting and cute. What are your thoughts? Let's chat in the comments. And also follow along because I'll keep covering such interesting advertisement stories across the next 90-40s.
