It’s not just you: McDonald’s really was everywhere this year

2024 may not have been the best or worst year ever for McDonald’s — but it was certainly a memorable one.

2024 may not have been the best or worst year ever for McDonald’s — but it was certainly a memorable one. It seemed no matter where the news spotlight landed, the golden arches were always shining somewhere off to the side, at times an unwitting set piece on the global stage (and at times, a reluctant main character). That was true during the Republican and the Democratic presidential campaigns, with Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband both trumpeting their working-class roots as former employees, and President-elect Donald Trump following up with a brief and carefully staged appearance at the fry station and drive-thru of a McDonald’s in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Another Pennsylvania McDonald’s became the backdrop for the culmination of a massive manhunt this week, when an employee at an Altoona location alerted police to a patron who resembled the suspected gunman who killed UnitedHealthcare’s CEO in Manhattan last week. (The scene had an echo of an April 2022 subway shooting in Brooklyn, New York, in which the gunman eluded capture for 30 hours before calling in a tip on himself from inside, you guessed it, a McDonald’s.) Even Major League Baseball had a McDonald’s subplot this year, when Grimace became the lucky charm who (briefly) gave the Mets hope for a world championship and New Yorkers hope for a Subway Series (but then the Mets lost to the Yankees in the playoffs, of course).
