This 2023 McDonald’s advert titled ‘Raise Your arches’ features workers signalling that it’s time to go and get a McDonald’s by raising their eyebrows.
A female office worker suggests getting some Maccy D’s by simply writing a letter M on a yellow post-it note. The message then spreads through the office as everybody immediately knows what the eyebrow gesture means.
The advert concludes with a practically empty office at lunch-time and viewers being asked ‘Fancy a McDonald’s?
