Guest Chaney Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 I have only a vague idea of who the Olsen Twins are but this just seems totally bizarre. Sounds like grist for the late-night talk shows and talk radio. Olsen Twins Promote McDonald's Meals By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: September 16, 2004 Filed at 12:12 p.m. ET PARIS (AP) -- Mary-Kate Olsen, recently treated for an eating disorder, and her twin sister Ashley are promoting McDonald's in France. A Happy Meal campaign featuring the twins started Sept. 8 in the 1,035 McDonald's outlets in France, said a spokeswoman for the French division of the Oak Brook, Ill.-based fast-food giant. She refused to be quoted by name. The meals come either with a photo album, a denim bag or a crayon box, she said. The album bears the twins' photo, and the bag and box bear their names, according to pictures on the McDonald's France Web site. Mary-Kate was released in July from treatment for an eating disorder.

Chrome Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Everything about the Olsen twins is totally bizarre ... one of my favorite stories was the big perv countdown to their 18th birthday ... go to google and type in "Olsen twins countdown" to see what I mean.

DTMX Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 I read that the one with the eating disorder was doing it so her sister would be labeled "the fat one". I read a lot of shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catesta Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Good question. I'd say yes, but I have no scientific data to back it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzmoose Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Is it actually physically impossible for them to stand up without leaning on each other? Are they joined at the cheek (I know what you're thinking; your choice...)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrdlu Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 I have a daughter, and, sadly, I do know about Mary Brat and Bratley. We even have some shampoo and conditioner with their name on it. My shampoo ran out the other day, so I reluctantly used the Mary Brat shampoo. Uggh! It reeked of something like distilled rancid coconut. Took about a week to get rid of the smell. At least it's not as bad as that Lynx body spray - that stuff would keep Australian mosquitoes away!

PHILLYQ Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 the anorexic one should do a mini version of 'Super Size Me', say for a wek or two- that would get her weight up to a nice level! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjazz Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Sounds like McDonalds is promoting the Olsen twins. When I read your tread title, I thought the girls had actually spoken or endorsed McDonalds. But it looks like McDonalds is just using the Olsen products to help sell Happy Meals.

GA Russell Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 The Olsen twins escaped my attention as they were amassing their fortune. I read recently that they have made a huge amount of money making direct to video movies. I thought direct to video was supposed to mean a flop, but for them it has been the road to riches.

Aggie87 Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 I read recently that they have made a huge amount of money making direct to video movies. I thought direct to video was supposed to mean a flop, but for them it has been the road to riches. These videos have found their way into my home, via my 6 year old daughter. She doesn't have any concept that these "films" never were shown in theaters, and I'm sure could care less. All she knows is that she likes Mary Kate & Ashley, and that these DVDs and VHSs are from them. It's a market they focused on, took advantage of, and succeeded in, instead of trying to release theater-quality stuff and flounder against the Disneys, Dreamworks, etc. Very business savvy, ala Madonna, Britney, Christina, Hilary Duff, and so on...
