A technique for getting decisions and perhaps even consensus from a group. This is most useful for groups who are stalled on making a decision, be it big or small.
The name comes from a common problem when a group is trying to decide where to go for lunch. Often everyone will say "I don't care, where do you want to go?" and it is not until someone makes an unpopular suggestion that their true opinion is voiced. The catalyst of saying "McDonald's!" as a proxy for the bad choice will push the group members into offering alternatives. Quickly a decision that is not McDonald's is selected.

Get the McDonald's Optionmug. The McDonald's shitz is a mass phenomenon that occurs after one has eaten any item from the food restaurant branch "McDonald's". This shit will occur in the hours after the McDonald has been consumed. This can range from 15 minuets to 6 hours, after this time limit it may no longer be deemed as the McDonald shitz. These shitz are very much felt as a relief to consumer, they will feel great satisfaction.

Get the McDonald's Peenmug. The easiest, fastest, most efficient, predictable and calculable way of doing things. Getting the product out as soon as possible. Quantity over quality philosophy. Often by breaking the job up into smaller tasks that anyone can do. This way of doing things may also include a lot of machines. The machines do most of the work.
mcdonaldization is leading to a simpler world; one day, the machines will take over and we'll have ourselves to blame for relinquishing all control to technology all for convenience.
