What are the ingredients in McDonald’s fries?

24. That dude got fired from Myth Buster for using his persona to do these un-Gotcha vids for Mickey D

These ads were designed as a kind of limited hang out (disclosing PART of the info that freaks people out and pretending that is the whole story). They trade on Imahara's former reputation as an unbiased myth buster but now Imahara is seen more as an untrustable shill who will likely never work in any kind of journalistic capacity again.

But given my son’s response, parents who advocate healthy food choices may want to thank the corporate marketing team for this ad’s unintended effect of making McDonald's food even less appealing.

“This campaign is just a desperate attempt to try to change people's minds about the beleaguered junk food brand- – but it misses the mark,” Mr. Brag responded in email. “Yes, people are concerned about what is in McDonald's food, but they're also concerned about how it's being marketed, especially to kids. Instead of making changes that actually address these concerns, the corporation comes back time and time again with more marketing to change people's perception of its food instead of actually changing the food itself.”
