Last september, McDonald’s launched its breakfast in Serbia. Yup, this service was not available before last year. It’s strange, eating hamburgers for breakfast, but somehow the usual McD’s breakkies was not available. In fact, this offer is only at selected McD’s in Belgrade, for a trial!

Shortly before the launch, I met a geek friend, who informed me of this offer. Here’s an excerpt from our conversation, which I find enjoyable, and giving an idea of what kind the other person is like (i.e. curious, interesting and fun):

he: “McDonald’s will launch its breakfast soon.”

me: “How do you know that?”

he: “I wrote to them.”

me: “Huh? Really? You wrote to them? Did you get a reply….and what did they say…?”

he: “I just wrote `breakfast?` in the subject line and I got a reply from McDonald’s saying it’s starting in Sept. I was thinking they will offer me a free trial for a while, but not pushing my luck.”

me: “Hehehehehe… excellent…. ‘breakfast with a question mark’….nicely done, simple and direct…” still giggling as I parted ways with the friend.
