Have McDonalds Plant a Tree for Free

171 695 July 29, 2011 at 06:31 PM in Other (2)
Currently McDonald's is running a promo where they will plant up to 100,000 trees in America's forests. They will plant one tree for each code entered from the Apple Dippers that the kids can get in their happy meals. Well... we got two of them and discovered that the codes were the same! So, if you would like to enter a code to have McDonald's plant a tree, go to happymeal.com [happymeal.com] and use the code M4JE-3YKW-7L7J. Smilie

What kind of trees are they planting, and where? Reforestation of diverse plant life encourages healthy forest growth, but planting homogeneous trees of similar age and size doesn't go far toward providing a useful animal habitat or long-term forestry solutions.

"Choose Apple Dippers" isn't clickable for me although everything else is. Confused

Do you guys actually believe this? I see it as a marketing ploy to sell more Happy Meals, not Happy for the tree getting cut down.

Ahh crap. Apparently I mis-typed the code and the resulting error page indicated that they just shot a deer due to my error.

Whee
Easily one of the funniest posts I've seen in a long time.

I voted Thumbs up, and planted 3 trees, anyone that doesnt take 15 seconds to plant a tree is pathetic.

3 trees here also. Almost at 7000 - really, this takes less time than it does to read the thread!

Long ago, about 20-25 yrs ago they actually gave away small pine trees in their happy meals. They were super tiny because I remember it actually fit in the happy meal box. They should do that again.

Mine is now a nice huge pine tree in front of my parents' house Big Grin

Interesting. Haven't eaten Mcd's in about 6 years. If they did that promo I would certainly buy more for the trees and give the food to a homeless or otherwise disadvantaged person.
