First Love - McDonalds commercial

Of all the ads I've seen on TV, this is the best. The MCDO team hits where it really hurts and I love it!


It is unique from the others. Well, I seldom go to MCDO for a float but my hands are all for the people involved in this ad. Good job for the MCDO team to come up with this ad. It pisses me off every time I see it on TV coz it makes me wanna go "Ouch!!!". It is the most bittersweet commercial ever. A romantic story that started at McDonalds between the two child. The guy in the story narates the things that he remebered everytime he goes to McDonalds. He reminisce the first time he met a girl whom he thinks he have known for a long time. The girl used to be a daughter of his mom's friend. They share the same favorites - the cool dipping of the fries on the sundae, "Hmm...Yummy". A way through the ending, the little girl take his hand and the story jumps few years later where they are both grown up around 25 years old I guess. The guy still wear his glasses and the girl grown so beautiful. The girl drags him to his family. "Ouch!", the girl is already married to other guy. You'll heard the guy said "Tapos biglang.." a very melting scene happen. Then the guy shares a table with his first love's family. The guy says "at kahit hindi rin naging kami sa huli, siya pa rin ang first love ko.."(and eventhough we did not end up together..she'd still be my first love). And again the guy shows the "fries and sundae tandem" and looks at the girl saying through his eyes that he still love her. The girl smiles at him but i think behind it was a regret.

Ouch of all the world for that guy. The bitterness of life takes place. You dont always acquire the things you ought to have. The commercial is just a minute short but it would take a long time to heal the hearts that it touches. Honestly, "my tears fall the very first time I saw it". Huhu..I just remembered a quite the same scenario from the past about my first love. T_T

Samahan mo pa ng background music na "Huling El Bimbo" haayz...buhay nga naman..
