1988 Monopoly at McDonald’s Commercial; Just How Long Has This Been Happening?

Watching this 1988 McDonald’s commercial for the Monopoly game event made me start to wonder how long the two have been partnering to run this giant event each year? Well, that led me to the Wikipedia page for the game: 1987 was the very first year that the two companies teamed up for this game.

I bet not a single person was expecting this concept to take off and become such a huge success.

Enjoy the commercial, and then learn more about this annual event at the McDonald’s Monopoly wikipedia page.
