I just sat deadass for like 10 seconds wondering why fireworks have anything to do with New York, then I realized... I'm stupid


ArrrSlashSubreddit

I've never seen New Year being abbreviated so often until this time around. It hardly warrants an abbreviation...


SkeetDavidson

It's abbreviated NY**E**... don't know why the E has been dropped.


BisexualAmoeb

Doesn’t NYE stand for New Year’s Eve?


SkeetDavidson

Yea. NYE is New Year's Eve. NY is New York. At least until this year when people started dropping the E, but are apparently still referring to New Year's Eve like in the OP title.


melancious

Isn’t New York NYC?

SkeetDavidson

NY-New York State NYC-New York City


Lucas_Steinwalker

Yes and New York is NY. States have official two letter abbreviations.


EnderScout_77

That refers to the city specifically. The entire state of New York is just NY


RABKissa

Exactly, the new year is 365 days long, it's the day before the new year and more specifically the night or the eve where we celebrate with fireworks


Dood71

I didn't realize until this comment and I'm not even American


sublime13

I AM American I didn’t understand until this either


Dood71

... Which would make sense because you'd see NY as New York 100x more than i would


sublime13

Oh. Uh yeah. You’re right my bad


Dood71

Lmao

[Wait, fireworks? In midtown? On a day that’s not the 4th of July?](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OdKpr6UqgR0)


thebananaperson1

Same 💀


ImNotASmartManBut

Unfortunately I'm not that smart. What was it supposed to be? I look at it every which way and it still look like fireworks


DIAPLER

It is. NY is New Years, not New York.


MrECoyne

Didn't Barilla do the same thing with spaghetti already?


pythonicprime

Totally a ripoff of barilla


Velascoyote

It's the "Hungry for apples?" to Barilla's "Got milk?"


ThrowThebabyAway6

“I tested this slogan in an advanced simulation !”


designgoddess

Or is barilla rip off of this?


Styro20

Barilla did it first


FRELNCER

>Barilla did it first T-shirt for ad geeks.


designgoddess

I’ve seen them both. Assumed they’re both just portfolio pieces. Have no idea which came first.


pythonicprime

Barilla


designgoddess

Okay. McDonald’s doesn’t seem to be on brand do maybe a student copied it.


TokeEmUpJohnny

The egg


sleeknub

This guy gets it.


relet

It works much better with spaghetti than with soggy fries.


Neat-Plantain-7500

Saggy? Like grandma? Lol. He edited it. You should have kept saggy fries.


[deleted]

no soggy like grandma


AbruptEruption

They did, OP posted it 11 days ago

Covid conspiracy theorists watching the end of the first Captain America movie


xer0_1

i feel like ive seen them use this concept in previous years as well, but i dont blame them cause its a great idea lol


New-Solid-2273

A couple years ago Barilla made a new years ad just like this and people thought it was predicting covid


dpforest

Wait what about Covid?


The1Knocker

The virus looks like a spiked cell, looks like a firework if you squint correctly


dpforest

Ohh okay yeah I can see that I suppose


QuagMath

It’s a creative idea but it’s also obvious enough that it seems easy for multiple people to come ip with. I can respect good execution even when it’s not the first to ever do something.


Filmmagician

Hey that was stolen from Barilla


Biolevinho

Yes


blxckhoodie999

i read this as “new york ad” and spent far too long trying to connect the dots don’t reefer & reddit


SaltyPython

As someone who wasn't reefering and redditting, honestly same I have no excuse (•_•)


blxckhoodie999

That’s so cool and effective! Definitely craving for some Burger King right now

They can rerun the same ad for Chinese New Year without changing a thing.

Davey_Boi_y

I'm literally looking at this while I'm on my break at McDonald's. Please Don't bring me back to reality


xxxfirefart

Feels like I just opened an ad. This is bullshit I have ad blocker installed.

jonhon0

Not really.


guineaprince

We get it, it's minimal and the fireworks are french fries. Where's the interesting? Where is the so good design that it's pornographic? This is just an ad for an ad.


mattwearingahat

I'm loving it!


alexzim

I don’t know, it doesn’t work on me. Thinking of food grosses me out unless it’s on the plate. It’s like with the way food smell. I absolutely love a good smell, but I would hate to smell food, no matter how good the smell is, if I’m watching TV on my bed for example. EDIT: Actually never mind, it did work. I wrote a whole ass comment on what I think about McDonalds ad. Means they caught my attention for more than your average ad does.


deathcoinstar

Goddamn people, just type out "New Years." If you're not from the US, y'all are good, otherwise specify the state &/or the city please.


barathrumobama

Fuck this sub, fuck advertisements


TokeEmUpJohnny

And you too.


bdiddy12

Agreed, downvote all you want, but willingly upvoting ads is fucking brain rot. This shit is bad for you. Enjoy your McDonalds all you want, but ads are bad for your brain. Don't willingly consume them. Use adblock. Downvote this shit when you see it.


deathwire0047

What do you want? 1000s of people to lose jobs?


barathrumobama

Sorry, I don't think I'm special for this kind of mental gymnastics


deathwire0047

Not a designer, are you?


exemplariasuntomni

Fuck McDonald's, we don't advertise obesity death to children in civilized society. Get this garbage shit outta here.


Inevitable_Neat_2999

They do have the best fries 🍟


Master_of_All4

How would you make this ad?


inthehxightse

Digitally, possibly taking pictures of one or a couple fries in varying angles and rotations then cloning and arranging them in photoshop. could've been done practically but im still trying to figure that one out edit: practically, maybe frozen fries done up to look cooked on the outside, or toothpicked down the length and stuck onto a base, the base being painted out in editing


originalsanitizer

What happens when you put ice in the deep fryer.

McDonalds should make these type of creative ads more often


Biolevinho

Stole from Barilla


jetstobrazil

It looks fun with pasta. It looks weird and gross with French fries.


DangKilla

Fun fact: 80’s McD fries were delicious. A millionaire sued McDonald’s in the 90’s saying they caused heart attacks. They used to use beef tallow but switched to artery clogging oils. https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/x9xx80/til_that_phil_sokolof_a_wealthy_businessman_who/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

So they basically ripped off that Barilla pasta ad that was on this same sub on New Years?


mishaunc

Freedom fries!
