Nice!
I will eat a Big Mac to honor this move.
But Coke has refused to do a similar move.
Bad move.
I’d like to teach the world to fight
Russian tyranny
So. McDonald’s actually established a No Fry Zone.

You’re just jealous, Max.
Anyway, I’ve been seeing it since my post, but I did come up with it all by my lonesome. As did 5k other jokesters, but what can you do? Sometimes, obvious pun is obvious.
But is improving Russian diets not helping the enemy? Should they not rather give all the hamberders and freedom fries away until the Russians are all adipose and unable to fight?
Give them vodka too, they know how to handle that. Improves aim, I am told, and raises morale.
This NPR article (from just a few minutes ago) indicates that Coke (as well as Pepsi and Starbucks) has also suspended business operations in Russia.
These are all devastating corporate blows to the Russian imperialist regime, but not as cruel as my local pet store selling a chewable Vladimir Putin dog toy.
I like this news, and will stop at McDonalds tomorrow morning. I only wish they had the guts to call it permanent and bye-bye. Temporary… ahh.
The restaurant buildings are still there.
What’s to stop Russians from making their own fastfood and market the franchise into ‘McPutins’?
Yummy🤭
I’m sorry you can’t fake Coca-cola.
I just heard on NPR’s Marketplace that Starbucks has followed suit.
On a different note, remember what big a deal it was when the first McDonald’s opened in Moscow?
Like Iran’s “Pizza Hat” and “Mash Donald’s” chains?
Missed opportunity for Sheikh Shack.

Coca Cola had little choice. The secret syrup is all made in Atlanta. Lot’s of luck shipping it to Moscow and getting paid for it.
Gotta keep some leverage. If stopping the war doesn’t get rid of the sanctions, then there’s no reason to stop.
So if Putin will be a good boy, maybe he can get some McDonalds.
McPutin’s Beet burgers and borscht fries, with pureed beet shake. Decreed by, err, recommended by Ivan Grobny.
Gulag meal: Fish heads and freshly mowed grass, with dirt garnish.
Yes, I do! First clean public toilet in Russia ever.
But the West is helping Russia in more ways that just improving theit diet: Pwc, Deloitte, PKMG and EY are leaving Russia too. If McKinsey leaves too, they win the war.
He knows where to get as many as he wants. In just two weeks:
