It only takes one glance to recognize those Golden Arches as you’re driving through town. Your kids know the symbol, and so do you: it means mouth-watering, lip-smacking McDonald’s hamburgers, milkshakes, and fries! You know you can’t resist the temptation.

Why not start the school year off with the gift of stock in a child’s favorite fast-food restaurant, McDonald’s? This will be one tradition that leaves a great taste in their mouth and an appetite for more. Soon, they could have their own bite of the Big Mac.
I’m lovin’ it. Are you?

Found your site again tonight while looking up Coke stock. What a great idea to market the one share idea. Really like your blog too with the McDonalds story, “Want fries with that?”
I too, like your feature story about McDonald’s. I bought a McDonald’s stock certificate and eagerly awating its scheduled arrival tomorrow.
My framed McDonald’s stock certificate arrived today…Wow! It’s neat, decked out in the silver frame! I can’t believe with all the other companies I have that I waited so long to buy it. I guess is it because I gave it as gifts to my two nephews and didn’t want any duplicates. My McBad!
