At this point the best McDonald’s ad campaign might be no ad campaign at all.
The fast food giant’s latest marketing pitch is a series of videos about its french fries.

In another (watch it below), which is even more perplexing, McDonald’s reverses the narrative, by detailing each and every ingredient that goes into its french fries. And there are many. So so many.
