Answer 1

I think that it is a really bad commercial and agree with you that it is hard to find a meaning.

Answer 2

I guess they are trying to get you to buy fries when you order the dollar burger so they can make more money.

Answer 3

mcdonalds doesn't have a reason

they want all their products to come out

so that u will buy them =]

like that mediating commercial

mmmm

ya know

Answer 4

I don't think anybody gets it.

Answer 5

CHecky did a good job of answering.  Unless you are in a cave, you realize how bad the dollar is today in financial markets.  It means that even though the dollar is so weak, the dollar mean is not, as there are many choices, all for a dollar.

It is a marketing campaign and McDonalds is working to gain various demographics, and they want business people & other professionals to eat there more, so they are making ads geared toward certain groups of people.  That is how marketing works.

Answer 6

Its just a horribly lame financial mumbo-jumbo joke, that 99.999% of TV-Watching Americans don't get. :P

Answer 7

no its all just a selling technique dont worry

Answer 8

maybe something like even though the dollar or economy is down, the dollar menu is still strong. dollar menu does not cost a lot.
