No, they have like 40 ridiculous, surprisingly specific things you can do to enter that don't require McD's products. The easiest is pick up a penny to donate, I just took a pic of a penny on the ground. Most are too wtf, like jump rope with a boa.

Edit: Oh wait, you did have to do the drink one, huh? I forgot b/c I got so caught up reading the other "bucket list" pics. I just googled a pic and edited it so it couldn't be searched for. My bad!

Once you knock out the $1 drink pic, they'll be a bucket list with a bunch of nonsense pic requests.

It takes them awhile to approve your pics. Yesterday I submitted about 15 different ones - today I got email notice that 2 of my pics are rejected. I guess its up to me to figure out which two.

Yeah, they rejected my "footprints in the sand"...which is what my pic was. I think I'm going to blow off this sweeps and any other (John Freida) where they reject pics without saying WHY.
