McDonald’s: Great Tastes of America

Leo Burnett turn British people into cowboys, baseball players & more for McDonald's 'Great Tastes of America'.

Major health warning; even thinking about McDonald's 2017 Great Tastes of America menu may cause you to sprout a cowboy hat, pom-poms, or a catcher's mitt where your normal hand should be. You didn't see that in Supersize Me.

Luckily, this serious health crisis only seems to be affecting couples in the Great Taste of America adverts from Leo Burnett, a series of four directed by The Bobbsey Twins from Homicide of Blink (with food filming by Myles New of Moxie). 

Discussing the various menu items, the couples begin to appear dressed in the appropriate clothes. A couple in a phone shop, for example, start discussing the South Carolina Stack, and before you know it they're Dolly Parton and Kenny Rodgers, complete with a swinging lasso.
