What McDonalds Means to Me.

The Golden Archs symbolize the collosle machine known as McDonalds. If you go anywhere, even most thirdworld countries, and ask the people what the Arches mean, they will know. A study was conducted in the movie Supersize Me that showed that children below the age of five knew the McDonalds symbol even better than they knew what Jesus looked like. Those arches are every where. It is no longer just on a sign high above the trees at every exit on a road trip, but also in our home, our tv, our school. I choose this icon because a friend pointed it out to me and ever since then i have been seeing it everywhere. I saw it in my house on a cup we were using at the dinner table. I saw it on a girls whatch. I even saw it on the six o'clock news (not a comercial but on the screen). For many those icons mean a quick, easy, tasty meal. But under it all, arches stand for safety, support, strength, and importance. These values might not be the first thing you think of about McDonalds, but they are there subtly.
