    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.

    • @thecomposerchanginggames5250
      @thecomposerchanginggames5250 2 ปีที่แล้ว +38

      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.

    • @melonymutou
      @melonymutou 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      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.

    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.

    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

    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.

      I mean, I don't think McDonald's springs for the pricer versions of things so most likely not by much.

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.

    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. On top of that, he has three channels (4 if you include GTLive) and a family, plus he's trying to establish a new channel!
    Mad love and respect to the Theorists!

      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. ☺️

      @Merennulli 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.
