Monday nightâs episode of The Bachelor was deeply boringâthe women are starting to feel more feelings, itâs hard to watch Ben get close to other people, etc etc.âbut it did have one thing: an amazing plug for the little restaurant start-up, McDonaldâs!
âAww,â you might be saying to yourself about Benâs date with Amanda, where they ordered Egg McMuffins and then worked the drive-thru. âWhat a down-home, chill date that really allows two people to get to know each other. None of this fancy dinner in a barn or on a hilltop or in an iglooâthis is where real Americans eat!â
However, please recall that Ben is currently starring in a McDonaldâs commercial himself (along with a few other past Bachelor contestants) in which he also orders breakfast at the wrong time of day, because you can do that there now. Hopefully I donât need to connect the dots for you about what this means: he loves McDonaldâs and is especially excited that you can (reminder!) eat breakfast there all day.
Hereâs some of the really natural dialogue from this episode:
Ben to Amanda: âI thought that the whole purpose of coming to my hometown is to do the things that are normal to me, so I wanted to take you to McDonaldâs, because thatâs a normal thing for me.â
Ben to Amanda: âDo you love McDonaldâs?â
Woman working the counter at McDonaldâs: Would you like breakfast or dinner?
Amanda: Iâll do an Egg McMuffin.
Ben: And Iâm gonna have an Egg McMuffin, with a medium fry please. And can I get an iced coffee?
Amanda working the drive-thru: âHi welcome to McDonaldâs would you like breakfast or dinner today?â
