McDonalds - Free Gillette Razor (1970)

how much are these razors worth now?

Reminds me of the Saturday Night Live commercial. It was a year or two before the collapse of the Soviet Union when that country allowed for a McDonald's to open in Moscow. SNL's response was a mock Russian McDonald's ad for the Happy Meal. Instead of toys, the prizes were things like a bar of soap, a roll of toilet paper, a spool of thread, etc.

Didn't know McDonalds served Fur Burgers.

I wonder if any cutter's were all about this strange promo?!

A free razor! Mind the hair in your hotcakes.

Hahaha that's funny.

now thats something i wish they bring back who knows how many times i've neede to shave before i ate a big mac

mcdonalds way of getting rid of the hippies

WORST PROMOTION EVER.

Whoever went to McDonald's to purposely get a razor was just plain lazy.

A razor??? That's craazy.

CREEPY!!! : O!!!

Oh shoot!!! It's Gordon Jump (from "WKRP In Cincinatti"!!! Isn't he now the "Maytag Repairman" in their TV commercials ???

This was the establishment's response to all those long-haired-hippies still runnin' around back then. Remember, too, this was atleast a decade before the Reagan Revolution ("It's hip to be square"...

you deserve a shave today...

This played right into the hands of the homeless. They go in, get breakfast, and then they get a free razor so they can shave.

Marketing to the sucidal

I wonder if there was some lawsuit about some idiot cutting his face with one of their free razors and collecting $$$ millions $$$. Just like the hot coffee deal?

"aww c'mon dad!" He has a weird voice.

Next they should start passing out the shaving cream too!

wtf they gave free razor that is retarded

and if your'e lucky, we'll suprise you by putting the razor in your burger!

Hey kids! Get a free razor or a free pocket knife with your homicidal ghetto happy meal XD! ROFLMAO!!!!!!

Gr8 deal 4 the suicidal, the emo or the bloodthirsty. They'd eat up and let blood fly across a McD's.

ROFLMAO!!!!!! Just what every kid wants with their mcdonalds meal... a shaving razor! OMG...

what where they thinking putting a free razor with your food? that's just really not smart. oh gee i don't like my food so i'll just use my razor to slice somebody. lol.

I dont know where to start. Handing out razors with your food. Is it because the food is hairy? Maybe it is for convenience. A busy guy goes off to work and he's late. He needs to shave and have breakfast. He goes through McDonald's drive through and gets breakfast and a free razor so he can shave and eat while he drives to work.

Thats just sad lol and yes SBjr its from the 70's

They should bring this promation back but aim it toward suicidal emo kids... they would eat it right up.

A free disposable razor...hmm...that'll make me get out of bed in the morning.

How unusual.

"Minors must be accompanied by an adult".
Because that makes it SO MUCH SAFER.

HA! my dad would go into Micky D's everyday bring a can of shaving cream with him, had breakfast. and went into the bathroom used the free razor and shaved. AT A McDONALDS!!!! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD ITS McDONALDS!!

The goths of today would love a free razor in their happy meal

Why the hell are those two eating breakfast at McDonald's anyway?

whose idea was that?!

The girl from this ad is pretty freaky. She so perky!! Especially the last part where she says "Free good news razor"..who the hell is she talking to?!

What the hell... That's the oddest freaking promotion I've ever seen. Imagine if you got one of those razors in a Happy Meal... "Look mommy! A new toy!!"

LOL! This is rather odd... What next? Is McDonald's going to give out free tampons or something? Sorry, couldn't resist!

XD

what about the shaving cream?
