die loss exceptional coming outline,
languid (lacking in vigor)
back, more longing hinted
3WW words
quintessential (of the pure and essential essence)
rabid (furious or raging; violently intense)
prickly
Jim Delligatti who invented the quintessential
Big Mac died at 98 yesterday, a big loss
He was exceptional in coming with an idea
that outlined thinking out of the box
Not languid in desire but rabid in putting it
across he got back more than he bargained for
Prickly news when first mooted but it was
a longing for an impact of diversity in thoughts
that chalked up sales to dizzying heights
It was not just hinted propositions but a
reality that changed the business philosophy
of McD to spice up their products
into innovative offerings

Thinking out of the box... or maybe eating out of a box... a great tribute.... (maybe not for culinary but for the business success)
ReplyDeleteSometimes just getting that new idea and giving it a spin can make all the difference. He showed one guy and one idea can do it.
ReplyDeleteThis was brilliant also looked appetising.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
If he lived that long he obviously didn't eat many Big Macs...
ReplyDeleteAn interesting response to the prompt, Hank. For sure, a diverse group of humans eat his products.
ReplyDeleteApparently my first response went missing. I love Big Macs, and this write...it emphasizes how diversity works, and how many people enjoy what it creates,

Turning a Bic Mac into an inspiration...
ReplyDeleteYou're good. You're good.
May he R.I.P
ReplyDeleteExcellent write!!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, marketing
ReplyDeleteIt takes more than an idea, so he definitely succeeded. Now I have a craving for a Big Mac. Haven't had one in years!
ReplyDeleteMy mom had to have been his #1 fan. Big Macs are so unhealthy. She lived to be a few days shy of 96. Ate those things right up to the end when she wouldn't eat anything else. Go figure! I have no doubt she was on his welcoming committee in the next life.
ReplyDeleteGreat tribute to a marketing mastermind.
