McDonald’s

McDonald’s appears in 155.美貌能当饭吃吗?想赚钱该做点啥?拮据时应避免什么行为?经济学思维有什么用？ as the fast-food context for [[CocaCola|Coca-Cola]]’s unlimited-refill example. The episode uses the pairing to explain Marginal Analysis, Price Elasticity / 价格弹性, and targeted marketing: a drink refill can feel like a large consumer benefit while the restaurant expects limited actual consumption and gains from food traffic.

This global company page is separate from McDonald’s Netherlands, which is a specific country-unit case in an AI-generated advertising episode.
