Japanese People After McDonald's

⌃ McDonald's Japan Japanese people after one meal at McDonald's: After his first McDonald's meal in 1967, Fujita was amazed by its efficiency and popularity. After selling imported bags and shoes, Fujita seized on the opportunity to start McDonald's franchises in Japan in 1971. His strategy for selling McDonald's to the Japanese people involved the following statement: "The reason Japanese people are so short and have yellow skins is because they have eaten nothing but fish and rice for two thousand years... if we eat McDonald's hamburgers and potatoes for a thousand years we will become taller, our skin become white, and our hair blonde."[1][2]

A screenshot of a McDonald’s Japan article is paired with a black-and-white image of Michelangelo’s David under the caption “Japanese people after one meal at McDonald’s.” The joke exaggerates the historical marketing claim that hamburgers and potatoes would make Japanese people taller, lighter-skinned, and blond, turning one fast-food meal into an absurd instant transformation. The clip uses Hinonawa’s “Drip of The Japanese Emperor” to give the visual gag a dramatic, grandiose, and ironic soundtrack, making the reaction feel even more exaggerated.
