The fast-food giant said during the company’s Investor Day presentation Sept. 23 that it is launching the McDonald’s Media Network, a new advertising business that will allow other companies to place ads across McDonald’s digital platforms and restaurant screens.

McDonald’s began testing the idea in August 2026 at 450 company-owned U.S. restaurants, the chain said during the presentation. This does not include franchisees which are independently owned and operated.

The pilot features advertising from other companies on digital drive-thru menu boards after customers place their orders.

Between this, dynamic pricing, and the god awful food and service, there is no reason to keep eating this trash.

There is a mexican food truck that will give me two meals worth of food for $10. I haven't eaten "fast" food in a long time, but I live in the city. There is an indian grocery store that sells samosas, as well as other items, hot and ready.

I would rather hit a Quick Trip or Circle K before I would touch McDonald's or any YUM! brand, basically any fast food or chain. And I am still not keen on gas station food. I eat from locally owned if I eat out, usually. (grabbing food while going on site at work will cause me to make exceptions: still won't do McDonald's. I have done Arby's if they have a good deal, or Subway has a good meal of the day).
