The Cream Rises To The Top...And Then Some

Apparently McDonald's really opened up the checkbook on this commercial in landing these talented "hand dancers" for this commercial. Prior to this commercial I was not familiar with the hand dances but they actually have some cool videos on youtube. In this commercial, however, it just seems dumb.

But all of that is besides the point. Take a look at what goes on from 0:09 to 0:11...McDonald's proprietary antigravity whip cream! That stuff doesn't move no matter how far you tip the cup! I'm sure booking the hand dancers was a small drop in the bucket compared to the NASA level research it took for them to develop that exquisite nimbus cream hovering over the coffee.

Fast food advertising has really gotten out of hand and it seems like McDonald's is now just taunting us at this point. I've tolerated seeing the absolutely perfect burgers in the commercials that bear little resemblance to the ones you'll find in restaurants, but this whip cream nonsense is over the top. I bet there are more people who notice the ridiculous whip cream in this commercial than there are people who would actually care if the whip cream wasn't absolutely PERFECT.

Sorry McDonald's, but no amount of fancy hand dancing is going to draw my attention away from your magically mesmerizing whip cream.

(Thanks to Evan for the tip on this one)
