One of the Ronald McDonalds in the commercial is from Memphis--and is my boss. Our office (about 125 people) is being treated to a Taco Bell breakfast in a few minutes. No idea what to expect.

I heard a Taco Bell breakfast commercial on the radio today. First I had heard of that.

Yesterday was the rollout. They flew 36 Ronald McDonalds out to LA for filming last week. Each had their own limo, trailer, and set chair with "Ronald McDonald" on the back.

How much did they pay him?

How did they find him?

They randomly called folks all over the country. Google I guess. Interesting part is that nobody knew what the project was and they had to be out there in 3 days. Many people turned them down. They all flew and stayed at hotels under their middle names to avoid trouble checking in. Compensation was quite handsome. Couldn't sample the food. It is Friday and I'm Catholic. Might try the cinnamon thing. I hear it is rich.

The waffle thing has either bacon or sausage.

You can't just take the sausage or bacon out and put it on the fridge at work for Monday?

When did the Catholic Church put no meat on Friday back in the rule books? I'm going to Hell!!

He has been in two so far, I believe. He thinks there are more but doesn't know if they will air or be online. He is the one who says, "It's not messy," when describing the wrap. Also sitting far right in the group shot at the end. The ad guy on Morning Joe put this together. Well, his firm did. We have been having fun with it. There is a red carpet leading to his office.

Have to wonder about this change. For years it has been called Taco Hell and i just wonder how many people will go there for breakfast.

All of this is obviously a ploy to get stoners out of bed before noon.
