The quarter pounder with cheese recently made its debut at McDonald’s in Japan, and the campaign they’re using to promote it baffles me. Purchasing a quarter pounder value meal nets you this little package:

Front: Big Mouth! Quarter Pounder: Japan’s Rose-Colored Plan
Back: Scratch off the panel with all your might! If it says “winner”, you’ll receive a rose-colored t-shirt.
Am I missing something here? Is the quarter pounder eating demographic clamoring for pink clothing?
But that’s nothing compared with the button that was also enclosed:

Whaaa? I don’t get it.
