Dear McCafé: Minivan doesn’t have an ‘e’ at the end of it
I have reviewed McDonalds’ crappy McCafé ads in the past, but this new one bears mentioning. A lame guy in a minivan pulls up next to a motorcycle in traffic, and the biker makes some sarcastic comments about the minivan. Then it starts raining, and the lame guy smugly sips from his McCafé coffee drink while the biker freaks out, having apparently never considered the fact that it might rain. You’d think the biker would have dealt with this situation in the past.
Then the lame guy smugly comments that it’s pronounced “minivané” before driving off. If I were that biker I would have punched him in his smug face. But also, what the hell? If the word was minivane, that would work, but no. In the past, at least they used words that actually ended in ‘e,’ like “commute.” This just makes no sense.
