One correction. When it comes to mailing in for free game pieces, you assumed that all of the writing would have to take place between those 6 weeks. You could start filling out addresses on envelopes well before the game starts. This would cut down the time it would take you to complete a request. I doubt it would cut it in half, but you might be able to shave off 25% of the time. adding a few thousand more pieces to your collection.
Yes, I had considered this. I think the only stipulation to that is that you don't necessarily know what they want sent before the rules come in. Like, let's sat it made headlines that a group of friends had made thousands of letters. McDonald's could avoid it by simply requiring different language or terms on the letters.
I kind of feel like you might be able to get away with hand-writing just a few and then loading it onto a computer and using some randomization programming to print out multiples that all LOOK hand-written. If you made enough multiples and employed some kind of randomization algorithm, I bet it could TOTALLY look entirely handwritten…. It’s not like you had to’ve written with a pencil, either, right? So you could’ve just written it in pen, and that’s why it’s in ink and not pencil graphite. But I bet there’s some kind of printer that could print in graphite. Sure, you’re “supposed” to hand-write it, but how are they going to outright prove you didn’t if you destroy the computer/printer you did it with afterward? And as if it would be IMMORAL to cheat them like that, considering how much they cheat their customer base.

There was a show on this. Multiple episodes going over this game. The head of security actually stole the winning pieces and gave em away at a price. So chance of winning is 0%
The show is called McMillions and talks about the 1989 to 2001 edition. And it was the head of security of the company that did the printing, not directly connected to McDonald. Its a great show

Suggestion for Future Theory: "Why secret menu item need to be secret" In this episode you can tackle how secret items has been created and why hasn't be a official menu item even if it's have a cult following.
During the "Ask us anything" promotion here in Australia, I asked "Why don't you guys bring any secret menu items to the actual menu? The mint and cookie milkshake sounds amazing" Their response? "There is no secret menu"
There was another scandal where a guy contacted family on the other side of the country and they had the other blue piece and so they sent each other a copy they had to win the million and McDonalds refused to give them it because of this but, that then revealed they were rigging the game by having only one of the blue pieces available on different parts of the country.

Criminal: It's simple, we rig the monopoly McDonald's employee: If it's so simple, why haven't you done it already? Criminal: If you're good at something, never do it for free. McDonald's employee: How much you want? Criminal: Uh... half...
That point was insignificant next to the latter points about the odds and about how the big prizes were missing anyway. It's slightly more cost-effective than buying the food, but not by much.

Listening to all the schematics, research, and calculations that Matt and his team does makes me really appreciate all the hard work and effort that goes into each of his episodes.

0:58 to be fair, the image of Jesus has changed over time. The old art of him in the Catacombs of Roma has him looking like a generic Greek guy. Our current version of Jesus was the result of a king who commissioned new bibles to be made with his visage as Jesus. It was a way to spread propaganda among his religious subjects by making them think he was like Jesus... and it worked since we are still using his version. That's something I learned in my college art history class. Also those are some crazy monopoly odds... Glad I never got too far into that event. I always had a feeling the game was rigged from the start.
In addition, these sort of interviews are the easiest to manipulate ever. They could have told the kids they were looking for someone who's alive today, or had big Ronald McDonald posters behind the camera. Or, most likely, they just interviewed 1000 kids and only showed off the 3 who didn't immediately recognize Jesus. The other 99.7% just get cut out. You can convince the world of almost anything if you edit it enough and prey on the fears of small-town mothers.

You could also just buy medium cups of water. You get the same medium cup, but water cups tend to be cheaper than soft drinks. Also, 0 calories and keeps you hydrated.
I've heard that there've been McD employees who took game pieces home with them, then gave them to their friends and relatives who then cashed the money for them to share. Imagine being able to joink a stack of those over the counter scratch-and-win things and just have someone else cash them for you, you wouldn't care about the win chance because you took them for free.
@@Merennulli you can walk out walk of the property and walk back in and technically you're a new customer and thus the 1 per person per visit rule applies as its a new visit. Unless it says 1 per person per day but they didn't say that last time the game was played where I am.

Bearty Uh, no. Odds are rare but it wasn't rigged by the company. It was a person who worked at the piece printer or other associated co who knew where they were going and got friends to claim Boardwalk and Park Place.
I guess the rumour here in Canada was that the major game pieces are spread across the country. For example to win the 50k prize you’d have to eat at a restaurant in western Canada and then fly across the country to find the last piece in eastern Canada. Other major prizes are the same. So it’s really a play on the name “coast to coast”, you have to eat at rotten ronnies all across the country to have a slim chance of winning anything serious. However I did win a $20 Uber gift code this year and a $50 cash prize last year, so I don’t really mind lol

In reality, they weren't at McDonalds. The healthier food options came from trying to get ahead of eating trends, not from anyone actually asking McDonalds for apple slices. That's why a lot of healthy options are short lived at McDonalds, the people who want to eat healthy enough to change their habits react the way you are. They don't go to McDonalds because they perceive it as inherently unhealthy without considering what some marketing grad just had them add to the menu.
Them: "Why did you spend over a billion dollars on McDonald's for something you can't even win?" Me: *_"It's not about the money, it's about sending a message."_*
Dang, this was in interesting episode. I just figured they never circulated one piece, like boardwalk, and let the rest go around "You *cant* have won! We never printed any boardwalks in the FIRST place, Steven!"
The sad Shame was it was rigged because of a guy that was working the security for the highest valued piecesand it took decades to actually realize this which was really surprising because he was giving all the highest pieces to friends and family at least that's what I heard
Silver Ink182 yeah. ive only heard a bit about the case, but there was a family that kept “winning” the games. it was just one family, and game pieces were passed around so that mostly only members of that family would win. there’s a documentary called mcmillions about the whole case if you’re interested in that kind of stuff. ☺️
McDonalds has had to pay out fines after their employees almost always end up selling the winning prize pieces to friends and family. Just buy what you would normally and be happy if you win a free fry.
I mean it technically is a painting of a Pope, not of Jesus, so... That whole thing is skewed. Most people know about Jesus even if they don’t believe in Him, but less and less people also would recognize that painting because the truth is it’s a painting of a pope, not of Jesus. The closest thing we have to a real photo of Jesus is the Shroud of Turin, which we are certain is His image but we also must admit we are human and are subject to human errors.
Armando Hernández They just take like any ol’ chicken nugg. Plus they’re dry as hecc! A little sauce helps add to the flavor whilst making less dry tasting aka makes it more palatable.

@@wolfiemuse nope. Thanks to consumer friendly laws there are no taxes or fees that get taken by the govt. of Canada for lotteries and winnings at casinos. The service charge is the money you put in in hopes of getting the sweet sweet 50-300 million monthly lottery (
Question if ever seen: If you win the extra cash along side the million, then theoretically you would win the other more pricey prizes (cars, grills, etc.) how would it effect the overall cost if they were sold?
I mean, I don't think McDonald's springs for the pricer versions of things so most likely not by much. Maybe at a big stretch they would take another million or two off, but nothing close to making bank here. I don't think even a fully upgraded high class sports car would make a dent, I think Ferraris run around 200 to 400k as stock models, and I have never even seen one of those offered.
Well, to be fair, this vid was talking about the cost to guarantee victory of the top prize. The best way to "win" in my book is to not let the promotion influence your spending. If you normally eat there, you'll get some game pieces during the promotion. As long as you're not spending more than normal, than even a small prize, like a free small fries, is a win.
9/11 was a McDonald’s lawsuit cover-up, huh? Some people were saying they want a 4th theory channel called Conspiracy Theory, but I think we already have that.
JesseRoxII no one said 9/11 was a coverup for the McDonald’s scam. It just happened to come out right before the most world changing moment since the end of world war 2 sparked the Cold War. Security cameras went up everywhere, the patriot act was signed into law, airport security became a two plus hour process and are open border with Canada closed. Since then it’s been a slog of paranoia and data collection that would come to define the last 20 years. The advent of social media a few years after that didn’t help either.
I remember one time when I was on vacation, we went to McDonald’s during this event and this employee went around with a 5 gallon bucket throwing out stamps for free. My family got a TON that day
Totally unrelated [kind of]: I was disappointed you weren't one of the nerds in that Diet Coke commercial. I feel like someone saw your videos then boom! 'Nerds drink Diet Coke.' On a related note, this is why I don't go crazy over sweepstakes, lotteries, or gambling. It's rigged in some way or the odds are mathematically favored for the house advantage.
Trusting randomness unless you know EXACTLY what the formula is is never a good idea. That's why people dissect games to learn how to manipulate RNG, so the randomness isn't random anymore.

🔔 Food Theory Idea (for a little later on in the year)🔔 How many calories would Santa consume given that he eats every 🍪cookie🍪 put out by everyone who celebrates 🎄Christmas🎄? What would be the repercussions of this? Knowing that he still has to travel the entire (Christmas celebrating) world, would be actually burn off more than he ate?
Good idea
Underrated comment
Except he doesn't physically travel he goes by sleigh all the weight lost would be from not wating
@@c0smic_eve But assuming it only takes a single second to get from house to house by sleigh, how much time would he have to go down each chimney and do all his work? How many calories would be spent by running faster than Usain Bolt to make it in time?
@@generalcodsworth4417 Good point but as i said the main travel isnt by him its by the reindeer so the majority of the calorie burning would be at the houses not sure how much that would be
Karen: "My child's health is of the utmost importance!"
Me: "Then why are you at McDonald's?"
In reality, they weren't at McDonalds. The healthier food options came from trying to get ahead of eating trends, not from anyone actually asking McDonalds for apple slices. That's why a lot of healthy options are short lived at McDonalds, the people who want to eat healthy enough to change their habits react the way you are. They don't go to McDonalds because they perceive it as inherently unhealthy without considering what some marketing grad just had them add to the menu.

Dang, this was in interesting episode.
I just figured they never circulated one piece, like boardwalk, and let the rest go around
"You *cant* have won! We never printed any boardwalks in the FIRST place, Steven!"
Ronald McDonald: “The truth is, the game was rigged from the start”
He missed such a good opportunity
The sad Shame was it was rigged because of a guy that was working the security for the highest valued piecesand it took decades to actually realize this which was really surprising because he was giving all the highest pieces to friends and family at least that's what I heard
Silver Ink182 yeah. ive only heard a bit about the case, but there was a family that kept “winning” the games. it was just one family, and game pieces were passed around so that mostly only members of that family would win. there’s a documentary called mcmillions about the whole case if you’re interested in that kind of stuff. ☺️
I don't remember getting paid back to that scam. You think someone would have filed a class action lawsuit.

The kid seeing a painting of Jesus: gEoRgE w BuSh
How is that a "nobody" if he was explicitly asked?
Except it wasn't "nobody", the kid was prompted.
Its actually a good thing
I mean it technically is a painting of a Pope, not of Jesus, so... That whole thing is skewed. Most people know about Jesus even if they don’t believe in Him, but less and less people also would recognize that painting because the truth is it’s a painting of a pope, not of Jesus. The closest thing we have to a real photo of Jesus is the Shroud of Turin, which we are certain is His image but we also must admit we are human and are subject to human errors.

bacon froyo You’re all insane the point of eating mcnuggets is their unique flavor
I don't even eat nuggies

Armando Hernández They just take like any ol’ chicken nugg. Plus they’re dry as hecc! A little sauce helps add to the flavor whilst making less dry tasting aka makes it more palatable.
I prefer my nuggs sauce less....
I know, I was confused too, since I don’t lie--
Wait I do-
Ultimate theory if you had infinite amount of years to live how long would it take you to do everything? This planet has to offer?
Matt: not dipping your nuggets in anything is a sign that you’re a sociopath.

Taxes after you win money: hA HA mOnEY gO bYe ByE
In Canada we have tax free gambling :)
[pain]t
There’s probably some other form of a fee, service charge, lower rates of winning the grand prize, etc that makes up for that, unfortunately
@@wolfiemuse nope. Thanks to consumer friendly laws there are no taxes or fees that get taken by the govt. of Canada for lotteries and winnings at casinos. The service charge is the money you put in in hopes of getting the sweet sweet 50-300 million monthly lottery (
Question if ever seen: If you win the extra cash along side the million, then theoretically you would win the other more pricey prizes (cars, grills, etc.) how would it effect the overall cost if they were sold?
I mean, I don't think McDonald's springs for the pricer versions of things so most likely not by much. Maybe at a big stretch they would take another million or two off, but nothing close to making bank here. I don't think even a fully upgraded high class sports car would make a dent, I think Ferraris run around 200 to 400k as stock models, and I have never even seen one of those offered.
Eat a friend. Heck, eat them all. Sounds like something matpat would say

To quote the 80s classic War Games, "The only way to win is not to play."
One of the best movies in my opinion!!
This coming from a teenager who wasn’t even around at the time of the movies making.
Well, to be fair, this vid was talking about the cost to guarantee victory of the top prize. The best way to "win" in my book is to not let the promotion influence your spending. If you normally eat there, you'll get some game pieces during the promotion. As long as you're not spending more than normal, than even a small prize, like a free small fries, is a win.
9/11 was a McDonald’s lawsuit cover-up, huh?
Some people were saying they want a 4th theory channel called Conspiracy Theory, but I think we already have that.
JesseRoxII no one said 9/11 was a coverup for the McDonald’s scam. It just happened to come out right before the most world changing moment since the end of world war 2 sparked the Cold War. Security cameras went up everywhere, the patriot act was signed into law, airport security became a two plus hour process and are open border with Canada closed. Since then it’s been a slog of paranoia and data collection that would come to define the last 20 years. The advent of social media a few years after that didn’t help either.
The fourth channel should be Life Theory, about bio-tech, bio-hacking, and biology in general.
But hey, that's just a theory

Totally unrelated [kind of]: I was disappointed you weren't one of the nerds in that Diet Coke commercial. I feel like someone saw your videos then boom! 'Nerds drink Diet Coke.' On a related note, this is why I don't go crazy over sweepstakes, lotteries, or gambling. It's rigged in some way or the odds are mathematically favored for the house advantage.
Trusting randomness unless you know EXACTLY what the formula is is never a good idea. That's why people dissect games to learn how to manipulate RNG, so the randomness isn't random anymore.
