A few lines from the Seattle Post article that accompanied this photo and that you can read here in it's entirety...
McDonald's has erected a billboard in sight of Starbucks headquarters declaring, "four bucks is dumb."
If Dunkin' Donuts' taste test commercials were the schoolyard equivalent of blowing spitballs at the coffee giant from afar, then the latest from McDonald's is like pulling a wedgie. Starbucks employees driving northbound can see the billboard on their way into the city.
Another billboard slogan jabs, "large is the new grande." The two phrases are displayed on 140 billboards in Western Washington, some of them near Starbucks cafes.
Hah. Done laughing. Just what I want from McDonald's, a limp salad & bad espresso. Stick to what you do best Mickey D's. Burgers, fries and free stuff for kids.
Now back to my $4.00 triple venti non-fat latte with one shot of mocha.
