1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,560 This may be one of the most mundane conspiracies I think we've ever looked at, but brace yourself for it. 2 00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:09,440 Intrigued? Oh, embrace. Yes. 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:10,800 Brace, not embrace. 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,040 Yes, brace yourself. You know what? Embrace yourself. Be who you are. Accept it. 5 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,360 I'm glad you said I could. 6 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,400 Only then can we actually talk about this article. This comes from The Daily Dot. I found it on 7 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:29,360 several different websites. I thought this was a good article. Written by Brayden Biela 8 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:35,600 on November 26, 2023 with the title, They're Thinking Way Ahead. New McDonald's location 9 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:42,000 opens in the middle of nowhere with no electricity baffling viewers. Another McDonald's one, hey? 10 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,280 Yeah. This one seems almost the opposite of the last one we did. Recently, TikTok user Thumbs Up 11 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:52,720 Canock noticed that McDonald's had decided to open up a new location near him. Rather than simply 12 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:57,040 being excited, he was confused, primarily due to the restaurant's location. Quote, 13 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:02,240 It's literally in the middle of a farm field. It's surrounded by farm and there's not even 14 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:07,760 electricity yet. They're running the damn place on a generator. That's crazy, says the Quebec 15 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:13,200 based TikToker. It's in Quebec? Yes. Or he's on vacation at the time of finding this. His video 16 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:18,720 currently has 32,000 views as of Monday, which would be like, I don't know, November 27th, 17 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:24,000 somewhere in there. This McDonald's location can be found in Saint Francois, Laval, Quebec. 18 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,960 Immediately, TikTok users in the comments began to cry conspiracy saying that McDonald's Canada 19 00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:33,920 corporate offices must know something that everyone else does not. Then you know what's coming. They 20 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:39,360 wouldn't put it there for nothing, said a user. Soon comes the apartment, said another. And in two 21 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:44,240 years, it will be surrounded by houses strategically planned. Echo to third. All the surrounding 22 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,800 farms are about to be purchased and sold to developers, explained a further TikToker. While 23 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,680 some theorize that this location could eventually be part of a major truck stop, the general consensus 24 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,200 seemed to be that there was a strategic real estate move. Commenters alleged that this area is likely 25 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,480 going to be developed soon, as such McDonald's bought the property for a lower cost estimating 26 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,040 that traffic will increase in the future. They're thinking way ahead, detailed a commenter. I remember 27 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:14,480 seeing a 7-Eleven way out west of LeBoc, thinking why now there's a ton of people living close by. 28 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,960 That said, many insisted that the isolated McDonald's located like these are of superior 29 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,920 quality to others, more centrally located alternatives. This is the best McDonald's you'll 30 00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:28,080 ever have, declared a user. And that's the best McDonald's always fresh for a second. 31 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:33,520 McDonald's has been a popular topic of discussion on TikTok for some time. Users have taken to the 32 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,880 platform to lament high prices of one complaining that they paid $25 for three items. Others have 33 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,600 simply utilized TikTok to reveal new technologies at the store, such as the chain's egg cookers, 34 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:48,720 or to show how one can recreate famous McDonald's dishes at home. The daily dot reached out to 35 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:54,560 McDonald's Canada via email and received no response. Short but sweet. Why wouldn't they tell us? 36 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,400 I don't know. Maybe it's because you know they reached out immediately before posting this 37 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:03,760 article, as I would do if I was a journalist. Gave no time. To keep up the mystery. I really 38 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,560 personally like this. This article is written like a journey to the fringe episode, and that they just 39 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:14,240 borrowed a lot of text from people who had already written it. Well, I just googled it because I 40 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:20,800 wanted to see what this looks like, and I see the TikTok here. I also see a like AI generated 41 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,680 picture of it. It looks like it's in the middle of a field, but it's clearly not a real picture of 42 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:31,120 it. And then next to it, you can kind of see like farm. There's a- Cause it is in the middle of a field, 43 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:36,400 just so you know. Yeah, but this one's clearly AI generated. Okay. Then there's one next to it that's 44 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:42,480 real, and you can see that there's like burns behind it. This might be an Amish McDonald's. 45 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,960 It might be an Amish McDonald's. It doesn't explain the generator. That's true. A lot of people are 46 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:52,080 speculating mostly that it's the real estate spoke to become very valuable. So whether that means a 47 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:57,360 highway is going to be going through there, or a pipeline, or some sort of big work site is going 48 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,720 to be near there. Without that, it seems very odd. There would have to be. I don't think that it would 49 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,520 go in without. I mean, they could just be testing the waters, because what did they say if you build 50 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,640 it? They will come. Yeah. And then clearly that works with McDonald's. And in fact, that's not the only 51 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,600 Gambit McDonald's is working on right now. They're open up like coffee shops or whatever. What do 52 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:24,080 they call those? Mccaffee. No. One sec. I'll be right back. I gotta say, I am a big fan of McDonald's 53 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:29,680 coffee. I will take a McDonald's coffee over Tim Horton's coffee. Tim Horton sucks, by the way. 54 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,920 They were bought by Burger King or something. I should probably just post this for you to see. 55 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:39,440 Yeah, let's not tell the people listening. No, we'll just quietly look at it while everybody 56 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:47,120 speculates. McDonald's is opening up something called Cause MCs, which is going to be like their 57 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,320 beverage shops. Now, people have rumored that it's actually supposed to be pronounced Cos Mix, 58 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:59,360 but I like Cos MCs. As RM Brown has said, it sounds like a 90s mixmaster of somebody who like 59 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:04,480 wrote Baby Got Back or something like that. Definitely looks like it should be Cos Mix, 60 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:10,160 because it's McDonald's. But it looks like it's something out of the Jetsons. I've never heard 61 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:15,680 of this. This is weird. And they also could just be doxing us and they're like, let's just fucking 62 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:21,040 build one here and like get the publicity. I just think they're shooting everything as far as they 63 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:26,800 can go to balance their Cos MCs. They're opening this in the middle of nowhere to expand McDonald's 64 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:32,000 because literally, where else can you open a McDonald's that won't be five blocks from another McDonald's? 65 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,120 Yeah, no, it's true. I think that's the theory we should go with. That's so weird. And it's like 66 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:42,960 half of an M on top of that sign. One would call us an N in fact. Yep, that could be an N. 67 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,280 I guess we'll keep you guys up to date on this one in the middle of nowhere. I think the Cos 68 00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:55,680 Mix are too mainstream to cover, but not the McDonald's in the middle of nowhere. It may seem 69 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:01,520 arbitrary. We redraw the line, but we have lines that are drawn. We do. Just imaginary lines that 70 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:08,000 we have decided arbitrarily. So I'm going to we stick by them. Yeah, we stick by them so hard, 71 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:16,000 even if they seem to move. They do not. They're just arbitrarily drawn. Yeah. Any house? Why you 72 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,480 contemplate that we will see you in 48 hours because it will take you at least that long to 73 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:26,640 unwrap all of that. Yeah, and also prepare yourself for the year end wrap up update. 74 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,800 I think it's best you come unprepared. Yeah, we'll figure it out. Probably. That's up, 75 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:51,440 John. Don't worry. Okay, bye.
