McDonald’s Announces Mariah Carey Partnership With Photo Suggesting a New Franchise Under the Sea
All we want for Christmas is apparently McDonald’s. Specifically, a McDonald’s you have to scuba down to access.
Mariah Carey is teaming up with the fast food giant for a new “Mariah Meal,” announced with an image of the iconic singer emerging from the ocean with a giant McDonald’s behind her — presumably for a franchise located somewhere under the sea?

In the lead-up to Christmas, McDonald’s will be offering free items for 12 days “with a $1 minimum purchase on McDonald’s mobile app,” per USA Today.
The partnership mostly got attention for the above Photoshop and what exactly the implication is of a giant McDonald’s sign in the middle of the ocean, giving one mental images of bobbing along on the beautiful briny sea for some burgers and fries. There is some context for why it’s an ocean picture, but the addition of the sign just raises further questions.
how can u tell this is the Pacific Ocean

“The sailor looks up. It can’t be. But it is. An enchanting siren. Mariah Carey. She lures him into the sea with her haunting song and promise of McDonald’s. As his lungs fill with water and life drains from his eyes he says “I’m lovin’ it.” Happy Holidays.” https://t.co/gX3N8leYP4 pic.twitter.com/3onO6lFK5F

Is she rescuing McDonald’s from drowning? What is the concept here? Also the photoshop— much to think about https://t.co/EAWYnexjyQ
