Just wondering what the thought process was behind the new McDonald’s frappé?
Not that I don’t understand why they’d make an icy creamy coffee drink in the summer? That, I get.
But, why in the world did they decided to call it the frappé? As in pronounce it “frap-pay“, preferably with a roll of your tongue and a tip of your beret.
Have you seen the ads?
Frappé. All Day.
Well, I suppose they found a way to make it rhyme.
Let’s assume they’re simply trying to fancy the place up a bit. Am I so dense as to actually feel better about myself when I order McDonald’s 4,392 calorie frap-PAY instead of the accent-less frappe at, say, Friendly’s?
Frappe rhymes with crap. Frap-PAY? French. Skinny. Ooooh. I’ll take three, please.
I can’t wait to see the reaction next time I walk into the Lynnway McDonald’s and order myself a six-piece McNuggéts and a Coké.
Confessions of a Serial Swooper 
I ordered a frappe for my 8 year old…Because I’m such a great mom and all…And I knew she’d decide she wouldn’t like it, so I’d get to finish it. We hadn’t been to McDs in over a year, so we made the journey…I got a small. I about died when I saw how many calories it had, and no, she didn’t like it, and yes, I threw it away. Yes, it was good, but not worth the calories.
Do you feel you’ve just been assaulted by commas?
I do crack up at that pronunciation every time I hear it. There are McDonald’s in France. I wonder if they pronounce it frappay there too?
McDonalds is so classy. (hahahahaha)
