I’m sorry... How the hell does a mouse spy on you? Are you worried someone might use your mousing patterns to do evil?

No, the one where engineers experienced the issue during testing but it was deemed too expensive to install a stronger spring to counter the risk.

Have you forgotten about the ignition switch fiasco?

Just instruct the customers to run the seatbelt through the window frame and then buckle it. No need to recall all those trucks.

Yes.

As much as you care, apparently. Calling the kettle black isn’t helpful, Mr. Pot.

There is something between this and a McRib launch. That distinction is not subtle enough for you to keep failing at understanding it. There doesn’t have to be a mcRib level of sales just because people are saying they fucked this event up, Jesus Christ.

You know, you really don’t know how this stuff works. Please don’t run a business.

This is not how business works. They had a sudden demand. Even if they create a little too much, it would still be financially workable. You use data to ballpark how much you need looking at prior event based sales, look at social media awareness and factor in prior sales, create a little overage just in case, send it…

Interesting, but it makes sense in the Mulan context. Kind of in the same neighborhood as discount, corn-syrupy Hoisin sauce. And let me tell (all of) you, if you’ve never had Hoisin sauce, you are missing out. I’m a batchelor who can barely put together a balanced meal, and even I’ve tried to make Hoisin (about 80%…

Hundreds? There were over 100's alone at the Howell, NJ store, now times that the stores participating, and then times that by at least 4 considering people were arriving later.

Uh, with the exception of the Wii and Nintendo DS, which stand out as radically higher outliers, Nintendo has been on a literal downward trend of customers for pretty much their entire game making existence. Every other piece of hardware that they have put out has sold less than the previous. So I don’t think the few…

I wasn’t aware my two dozen words represented a major emotional investment. Just saying, there’s no two ways about it: McD’s done fucked up. We can dissect how badly they fucked up and in just what manner, but they fucked up.

I understand what you are saying and while it is correct. It still doesn’t justify the fact that their supply is quite sparce. Why not make it a 4-7 day limited run? Even the McRib lasted a month or so. What do you think happens to the unsold McRib after the promotion is over hmm? It’s not gonna cost McDonalds much to…

Read all your replies. You clearly don’t understand how food manufacturers or how economies of scale works.

Yep, getting thousands of people in the door and, at the very least, selling thousands more orders of nuggets that day is totally not worth it. This could easily have been the most successful McD’s campaign in decades, and instead the moral of the story is, “McDonalds is still dumb and gross.”

They were questioning your math skills. Millions/thousands = hundreds.

The vast majority of people who showed up never got any. This isn’t about making it available for months, it was about making enough for the one day release, which they failed to do. 20 sauces per store was a gross underestimate as evidenced by the fact that most people didn’t get any that showed up for the event. If…

Does it matter if they were only there to try It? They still bought it to be able to do so. And they sold out and under produced by a serious margin. And hundreds of people at each store across the nation adds up to thousands of people. I’m not missing your point, your point just doesn’t make sense

The expensive part is re-programming a mixer and creating the screen printing stencil for the labels. I’m sure that making 1 million tubs is as easy once it’s setup as making 100.

If it cost “Millions” then they already spent millions setting it up.
