Does This McDonald’s Commercial Change Your Opinion of Their Fries? [VIDEO]

This yet-to-be-released commercial from McDonald’s USA takes an intimate moment with Frank Martinez, a “Potato Supplier” for the McDonald’s brand, and does its best to spin an image of farm-to-restaurant sensibility. McDonald’s products often get sensationalized for their presumed level of preservatives to sustain edibility and taste for maximum periods of time.

The same level of preservation is also a key reason the brand has been under fire by some home scientists (and supported by others). You might recall several different home experiments that show how little change a McDonald’s burger and fries experiences when left out for days, weeks, and months at time. They rarely age, mold or break down, at least visually.

This 17-second commercial spot shows Frank Martinez biting into what looks to be a very fresh skinned potato, claiming its deliciousness, and highlighting how good it will be once it becomes a “McDonald Fry.”

The real question at hand is, is this commercial going to make you care? Did you laugh? Is it changing your mind about the quality of the fry? Or have you come to terms with the unhealthiness of your fried potatoes, and just enjoy them on a surface-level, for exactly what they are, an indulgence?

Without further ado, the new McDonald’s commercial — Potato Farmer, Frank Martinez: “Just Wait”
