My Letter to the Mcdonald's Corporation
I sent this to them in September, 2003 to
http://mcdonalds.com/countries/usa/corporate/contacts/comments/marketing/marketing_form.html
I just want you guys to know that I feel you should not sponsor neopets anymore. The site is getting really bad, with the site freezing most player's accounts for no reason whatsoever. The chat boards are full of people quitting and complaining about the site, and I don't feel your fine corporation wants to be associated with it. I myself have quit neopets, and am boycotting your store, meaning I won't eat at any mcdonalds until you guys are no longer associated with neopets. I have eaten countless burgers there, but will be going to burger king or subway instead since I cannot stand neopets or any company sponsoring them. Thank you for your time.

This is the reply I received:
Hello David:
Thank you for taking the time to contact McDonald's.
At the present time, McDonald's is not nor has any future plans to sponsor
Neopets. Any such information would have been found on our website, www.mcdonalds.com,
or a link would be listed on their website, www.neopets.com,
linking their site to ours. I apologize for the misconception and assure your
concerns have been forwarded to the Marketing Department for review.
Again, thank you for contacting
McDonald's. We hope to have the opportunity of serving you again soon under the
Golden Arches.

I already don't watch Disney movies, and Kellogs makes better cereal than General Mills, so I was already boycotting them. But Mcdonalds was a block from my workplace, but now I eat (healthier) at Subway. Yeah the sandwiches cost a little more, but they are healthier for you, and a few bucks a day is worth it to avoid a heart attack when you're 45.
Needless to say, I'm still boycotting them. If not for that fact, but my other friends Ron got food poisoning from eating a Mcdonalds hamburger in Texas, and my friend Kay got food poisoning from eating Mcdonalds french fries on the Big Island of Hawaii.
