No one gives the slightest shit about the J Balvin meal. This must be really embarrassing for him. Travis Scott became a household name and meanwhile this promotion is already forgotten WHILE ITS STILL OUT.

Is this the end of celebrities acting thug while eating McDonald's for image promotion?

It lacked the kind of panache needed for a promotional and ended up just being really fucking plain. The faggot himself said he orders his Big Mac with no pickles, but they kept the pickles on the burger because McDonalds doesn't like changing their flagship burger.

I wonder how many more of these promotional burgers they're going to put out? Do they have a contract with a production company or something?

This deal is so bad, it seems intentionally designed for nobody to buy it.
The T.Scott meal was a regular meal ANYONE would eat, at a cheaper price.
The J.Balvin meal is superfluous with an extra flurry few people would want to eat after a big mac and fries, and at a regular price.

Unless you typically buy a flurry with your meals at mcdonalds, the J.Balvin meal is a good deal for the wrong meal.

Of course I've had McDonald's new J Balvin meal. It's the perfect selection of my favorite McDonald's food: the legendary Big Mac (with no pickles! I hate pickles--yes, we exist!), those classic golden McDonald's french fries with the equally classic ketchup riding side saddle, and to top it off

>Travis Scott was already a big name before the meal.

Nobody over 25 had the slightest fucking clue who he was. It's literally just high schoolers trying to be cool because the media has really been ramping up their push for hoodrats mumbling as being the hippest thing you can do for the past ten years.

>People over 25 have never been a market for new music.

Country music typically goes for the 35-ish demographic. And I'm talking literally-whos new on the scene. If you live in the south or the west that's a pretty significant chunk of radio traffic. Not to mention that their are tons of older artists who are coming back with a new style and sound that are going for the 30-40 market as well.
