Hey, I've already started carving stamps out of McDonald's hamburger meat. It lasts about as long as pink stuff and is just as rubbery! McBox-on!

Oh you naughty, naughty, boys!!! Good one!

ryan and wassa- you know what they say about payback, right? Now you have a few thousand people looking for revenge for getting them so worked up over the past few months. I'd keep an eye on Marjorie if i were you....

I know it is April 1, but I'm not so sure this is a joke. Everything seems legit. Scary..... I just can't believe that someone would put that much work into a joke.

It is a joke. And, how could they pass up an eager audience such as this?

BTW, we have a whole "fast-grab" fast food series here in town.

We can go and remark the Benton Mackaye Trail so he ends up someplace other than Springer Mt. on the 16th. I can get him walking in circles for a few days.

Oh yeah these two would. I remember the one last year at a gathering that involved the cops and people getting busted for no permit.

If I remember correctly, that involved wassa's son as the cop. That is no where near as elaborate as this. I think I will go check out my local McD's at lunch time and see what is up there. I just wish I had time to drive to Oak Brook to check out McBoxer's finds for myself.

Sounds good. So who is up for a road trip with me? I'll have to get it done this weekend before Ryan gets to GA.

If you go to McDonalds actual website, (not linking from here) there is NOTHING about letterboxing anywhere under any section. Nothing under happy meal info...
I think everyone needs to relax and enjoy the laugh...
Or change your theme and move on...

Sure it was. This is a someone with a log in and a web page (with cute kids BTW).

Although the theme did make me change my mind about having the kids eat sandwiches for lunch. We are headed to MickeyD's instead.

Tee - who will live in denial. I might have believed McBoxer (and did btw - even asked if we could get the carving tools in Jacksonville heh) was real, but Ryan selling out... nah.

But if you read what Ryan said in his announcement, it is only a trial in 100 restaurants, so it makes sense that the McD's website doesn't have anything about it.

With so many of us headed to McDonalds, I wonder what the McDonald's VIPs will think when they look at their sales figures for today...

So all we need is for somebody to actually go to one of those 100 restaurants and report back on what they find. There's AQ members all over the country, so <em>somebody</em> is bound to be close to one of these 100 restaurants, right? So we'll just wait for an actual sighting of a McLetterbox and then we'll know that it's 100% legit.

They definitely have test markets. I lived in a place where they tested Oriental Chicken McNuggets in the mid 80's. Did anyone else ever run across those?!? And I actually learned how to use chopsticks from the instructions included; it takes serious dexterity and finger strength to dip a huge nugget into those little sauce things with chopsticks.

That is true! I was checking out the happy meal info but that's true...
if it's a trial thing it's not gonna be listed there. I bet they wanna get the feedback from that site and feedback from page hits etc. I am gonna go give 'em some feedback right now!
