Does anyone actually 'Find us on Facebook'?

Walking through Uni today I came across this poster and thought I'd share it.






































This whole 'find us on Facebook' idea seems a little overkill. You see it so often where organisations use this as a marketing pull. Does anyone actually whip their phone out and 'find them on Facebook'? It's 2015, that is just too much to ask from this generation.

Something in the water works?

Now I'm all for good causes, don't get me wrong this looks like an excellent cause but lets do the maths. 1,055,360 x 100= 105,536,000 gallons. For all my metric friends that is 3.99497e8 litres... yes I wrote that to look smart.

Is this actually going to happen or is this just a game of likes. This is the real question I'm constantly asking myself in today's modern social media times.

Coca-Cola #MakeItHappy

So last month Coca-Cola created its #MakeItHappy campaign. Now according to this YouTube video uploaded by Coca-Cola, life is sad without coke. Life is nothing but negativity without coke. Well, the one thing I know for sure is that the sixteen teaspoons of sugar in a can of coke sure makes me happy. The world is what we make it. So let's make it happy right?

This is one of those feel good ads. After watching it I feel like giving everyone a loving hug.


C'mon give it a watch

I actually decided to follow the campaign to www.gomakeithappy.com. After seeing increasing amounts of hate and negativity going around on the internet recently, this is quite refreshing. Refreshing like a can of coke...I sure could use a can of coke right now.

It's good to see such a large player in the soft drink market portray such a lovely message to the public. Imagine how many smiles have been ruined by Coca-Cola? I guess that's a topic for a new day.

Let's celebrate St. Patrick's Day at McDonalds

Okay

You've just broken up with your girlfriend. You've missed the easiest catch in school softball. You've had a fight with mum or dad. You think the whole world is against you. There is no way up, right? Wrong. There is someone who is always by your side, no matter what. This special someone just always knows how to put a smile on your face. They smell nice, they taste nice and they understand you like no one else.

Guessed who this special someone is yet? That's right. They go by the name of McDonald's. This fast-food powerhouse has been comfort feeding hungry Aussies on a daily basis for decades. But how are they so damn successful at doing so? Everyone wants to eat healthy right? That's the new craze? It's all about chia seeds and kale chips now, right?

Well let's take a look at how this giant is playing the game on social media and continuing to win over guilty fans.

Old McDonald had a farm e i e i o, and on his farm he had a...pack of 6 nuggets? What's going on here? Turns out today is St. Patrick's day. Happy St. Patrick's day everyone. How should we celebrate this Irish holiday built on heavy drinking and all things green? I know. Let's go to McDonald's and order a pack of 6 nuggets. They're not green, they're not alcoholic (well, I'm at least 90% sure) but damn son do they taste amazing.

Could a stunt like this actually work? Are people going to go to McDonald's and load up on these golden bite sized babies? Maybe the pot at the end of the rainbow actually does contains McDonald's nuggets, gold coins are just an urban myth.




Let's take a closer look now shall we. How did the Australian Facebook community respond.

The top commenter has done us all a favour and asked the 'golden' question.

I bet she didn't expect such a fiery response.

McDonald's was clearly prepared for this question.

'duh!'

Seems as though McDonald's has won this battle with a 42-19 'like' ratio.

The public is very fond of this spicy behaviour.

I think whoever is in charge of the McDonald's Facebook page has mastered the perfect blend between sincerity and playful sarcasm when it comes to these replies.

Seems like some people are actually tagging friends, as their cravings for all things deep fried have kicked in.






Well well, the golden arches have spoken. Just because it's St. Patrick's day, it doesn't mean that McDonald's can't be on the agenda. I'm still undecided on whether or not the golden nuggets have won this round, however I am sure that they will be back in the near future to fight again.
