The muffins at McDonald's are no longer called Muffins, but McDalenas. Pure chocolate, pure drug. The joke lasted too long not to materialize it again and again. X user @itiziaroltra echoed this with a photo of a giant advertisement hanging in a corner. Well-intentioned, however, she wrote: “The world is a little fairer today.”
“They give food to the army of the genocidal state of Israel for massacring the Palestinian people, so they give it to us,” is one of the responses. There are many others similar, but they all hide the fact that it is a half-truth: the person who gave this present was the company's franchise in Israel, Alonyal LTD.
The headquarters, in Chicago, immediately distanced itself. What's more, Arab franchises, after clarifying their independence on Instagram or wherever their independence was needed, went against it and helped Palestine: McDonald's Bahrain, $100,000; McDonald's Qatar and McDonald's Kuwait, $250,000 each; McDonald's Saudi Arabia, 534,000; McDonald's Oman, 100,000.
Of a piece of news, the first impact is what remains. You can even smash it. And the more you ask for it, the more difficult it is for a clarification or rectification to receive a minimum of attention. Its impact is usually negligible.
It also happened with Sofía Vergara and Pablo Motos. The Colombian put it into the spotlight and thanks to the actress invaded the networks. The clarification came later: “The interview with Pablo was like friends, they told me that 'to make it fun, mess with him (...). “We were teasing each other.” There was silence.
That we quickly say what is going through our veins has also been seen this week. The Tomelloso City Council, in the hands of the PP and Vox, offers courses under the heading of “activities for women” such as “cutting and sewing”, “cooking”, “hairdressing” or “aesthetics”. The spokesperson for the PSOE in Castilla-La Mancha or the Minister of Equality from the same community immediately jump in. “They tell us again that ours is only cooking, aesthetics or crafts, as if we went back a century. “An intolerable attack.”
The mayor, Javi Navarro (PP), is wasting his time. His response hurts: they are courses that have been promoted for years, even with the city council led by the PSOE, from 2015 to 2023. The images provided by @sararincon02, with the program of the courses almost copied from 2018, 2019 and 2022, proof. The past weighs.
Navarro caresses a cat while releasing serotonin when smelling a McDalena chocolate, in search of lost time.
