They still raised 1.7 Mil. NOt a bad effort. $2 of that was mine. I did not go the meal as the coke only distracts from the taste of beer.

It's the way the Mc Happy day is done, that is a seperate issue

Atleast they do it!

Duane your kind offer to have a much hated big mac meal did nothing!! Think of the children dude.
I got a wrist band so my donation counts, then i went next door to red rooster for some real food to eat while i put my wrist band on!

They need money all the time - SenNey go to maccas on smith street in collingwood they have little things in the drive through you can chuck your money in to donate to ronald mcdonald house, i chuck my change in everytime i go there.

I do the same thing, they have them at the counter and in drive through.

Yes they need the money, i didn't say they didn't.
But if people were aware a meal didn't make a donation, more would buy a burger on it's own.
Therefore they would help more out...

I was just curious about this as I thougt it ALL went as a donation so I emailed them and sure enough,,,, even ppl that work and Macca's have no idea

this is the email I got back....

Thank you for your email.

Yes $1 from every Big Mac sale, including value meals, is donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities on McHappy Day.

I must admit I had no idea either. I am not a Maccas fan and really couldn't eat a Big Mac butthe kiddies would of

I think it was a case that the person serving had no idea at all

Yes,and if you tell your tax agent you do it you CAN claim it on your tax.

and the fryers are full of pens

Their fries are coated in nylon, though

mmmmm.....now I need to go and get a choc sundae and some fries to dip in it

do they serve macca's at Ronny Mac house ?

by **Neka79** » Mon Nov 20, 2006 5:57 pm

well ..lets face it...they dont have to do it..they dont have to sponsor Mac House...so ANYTHING they give is a bonus...

i agree with senneys comment tho- i woulda just bought burgers if id known (if in fact its true).... either way...im not dead and Maccas raised $1.7mil so its a good day...

All soft serve is made of pig fat...just dont tell ne muslims...they may get upset...
