McAfrika[edit]

... that the McAfrika burger was sold by McDonald's in Norway for a limited time, just as a major famine was happening in Africa, creating a public relations disaster?

Length and references look okay. I'd change the hook to "... sold by McDonald's in Norway for a limited time, just as a major famine struck Africa in 2002 ..." Is "traded" a Britishism for "merchandized"? Clarityfiend (talk) 21:39, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the review. I used the term "traded" because that's what the book reference said, and I didn't want to write anything inaccurate. I am also slightly unclear as to what exactly it means, but I assume it's something similar to merchandized. The book itself is actually American, not British. I've also altered the hook slightly as you suggested. 069952497a^{Comments and complaints}_{Stuff I've done} 23:12, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Then perhaps the word should be in quotes, with the reference attached. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:06, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
