That is so funny. FWIW.. I did try to contact them on-line as well as via phone with no response. Sorry for wasting so much of someones time that spmming the list impersonnating me seemed like a good idea. I should forward this to spam-l and watch the trolls come out. LOL - Brian J.

Sorry, you unsolicted idea will not be accepted:
Unsolicited Ideas
Thank you for your interest to share an idea for a product or service that you believe would be beneficial to McDonald's. Please know, however, that it is McDonald's company's policy not to consider unsolicited ideas from anyone other than our corporate employees, franchise owners and dedicated suppliers.
It's not that great ideas cannot come from our valued customers. Each year, however, McDonald's receives thousands of unsolicited ideas and proposals for products and services. Due to the mass volume of these unsolicited ideas and the business challenge of determining what is truly a "new" idea versus a concept that is already in development, being tested, or previously considered, we must adhere to a strict policy not to accept or review any unsolicited ideas that come from outside the McDonald's system of our corporate employees, franchise owners and suppliers.
As a result, we must decline your invitation to review your idea, and hope you can understand and appreciate our business reasons for making this company decision. We do, however, greatly appreciate your interest in McDonald's.

I've got a great idea for a new cheeseburger and want someone to give me a contact at McDonalds. I am too lazy to find one myself, and don't care about wasting any of your time.
Please reply off-list.
Brian.
