Unless, of course, you're the Robin Hood of scammers, or I guess, in this case, the Hamburglar of scammers. Let's get into it, besties. It's the Monopoly game, only at McDonald's.
Remember when a big, beautiful, family-size house cost $250,000? Something like that today would be, what, triple the price? Well, imagine you get that house for free. Grandpa gets a million dollars, and your best friend wins a brand new car, all thanks to the McDonald's Monopoly game. If that sounds too good to be true, that's because it is.
But at the time, the McDonald's collab with Monopoly was a genius idea, right, Jack? The only problem, when they picked their head of security, the one guy in charge of protecting those million-dollar Monopoly pieces McDonald's drew the wrong card. Comedians Ify Wadiwe and Beth Stelling join Misha on this episode to break down what really went down with the McDonald's monopoly scandal.
On Wondery's podcast, The Big Flop, comedians join host Misha Brown to chronicle pop culture's biggest fails and try to answer the age-old question, Who thought this was a good idea? Like putting a little sticker on a cup at McDonald's, and that sticker was a Monopoly piece worth a million dollars. Yeah, there's a whole strategy behind it.
Where you try to capture different Monopoly pieces to win like crazy prizes? My family ate at McDonald's like six days in a row on the Upper West Side, purely to get a Corvette. We didn't get one, spoiler. Nick, I didn't know this at the time, but there was a guy at McDonald's, a security chief, who almost pulled off the ultimate inside job to ruin McDonald's monopoly. Wait to hear this, besties.
Yetis, we're about to play a sample of an episode of a different show. It's called The Big Flop. We think you're going to like it. And it's about this one incident in business history that is one of the funniest things we'd ever heard of. And we kind of experienced it. Remember McDonald's did that Monopoly sweepstakes? How could I forget, Jack?
Remember the fast food chicken sandwich wars? They are back, but swap out the bun for a flour tortilla. The great chicken wrap battle of 2025 heated up in a big way yesterday with McDonald's announcing that its legendary snack wrap will return to US locations on July 10th. The cult favorite wrap has been nixed in American McDonald's stores since 2016 because it took too long to make.
