For anyone wondering how prevalent occult practices are becoming in mainstream culture, look no further than McDonald\u2019s most recent marketing tactic, which involved, among meal deals, the chance to win tarot card readings.<\/p>\n
A USA Today story covering McDonald\u2019s plan\u00a0reads, \u201cMcDonald\u2019s is preparing for this week\u2019s celestial and astrological change of Mercury retrograde with both a deal and tarot card readings.\u201d Customers using the McDonald\u2019s app\u00a0to buy a medium order of fries were given a free McDouble or McChicken and the chance to a tarot card reading.<\/p>\n
Reportedly, McDonald\u2019s partnered with Madam Adam, a tarot card reader with expertise in astrology, to offer reading to certain customers. To win, customers had to go to Madam Adam\u2019s Instagram or TikTok posts to share their name and zodiac sign. Adam advertised the campaign on his social media platforms, urging people to participate so they could learn their \u201cfate.\u201d Participants filled the comment sections on Adam\u2019s social media pages with their zodiac sign in hopes of receiving a tarot reading.<\/p>\n
In a video promotion, Adam said, \u201cI don\u2019t know about you, but Mercury in retrograde can be a really difficult time for me. So why not ease the discomfort with comfort food? Want to know what the Tarot has in store for you? Join me and McDonald\u2019s for a very special TikTok Live\u2026 to know your fate.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to\u00a0a statement\u00a0from McDonald\u2019s, Adam planned to \u201crandomly select a lucky few to receive custom readings\u201d during the live stream, which took place last week.<\/p>\n
