#McDonalds #McMillions #Documentary #HBO A six-part documentary tells the story of the great 20th-century McDonald’s Monopoly fraud case with quirky characters and lackluster visuals. Oftentimes when listening to one of the dozens of excellent investigative podcasts I struggle to commit to, I’ll think, “this would make a great TV show.” When watching “ McMillions ,” a documentary series premiering on HBO Monday night, mostly I thought, “this would make a great podcast.” The story is wild: The McDonald’s Monopoly game, for some reason beloved in the 1980s and ’90s, was rigged.

#McDonalds #Chickensandwich #Popeyes #ChickfilA McDonald's  appears to be entering the chicken sandwich wars. The chain teased a test of a chicken sandwich in Houston and Knoxville, Tennessee on Twitter Sunday. "Houston. Knoxville. Lunch tomorrow? No beef," the fast-food giant tweeted.  McDonald's franchisees have asked  for a Southern-style chicken sandwich as Chick-fil-A's threat to their business continues to grow. The board of the National Owners Association, an independent franchisee group, wrote in an email in July that a chicken sandwich should be their top priority. McDonald's carries Chicken McNuggets and the McChicken sandwich. This fall, it debuted the Spicy BBQ Chicken Sandwich, a limited-time offer that launched to little fanfare. But the Chicago-based chain has not tested anything similar to Chick-fil-A's chicken sandwich since 2018, when it tested the Ultimate Chicken Sandwich in more than 160 locations in Washington sta...
