    Is the Chalupa vs McDonalds really a big issue to people?

    It's not uncommon in marketing to accept a competitor's coupons. Good move by the Koi Company.

    I don't care about Chalupa's or Eggamuffins. It would be fun to get the entire garden to start chanting 'Koi' instead of Micky-...oh shit I can't even type it I hate it so much.

    Absolutely awesome on all levels. A big finger to McD, good food to the fans, and good publicity to Koi Fusion. Really hope the new "Koi Chant" catches on - I figure it will.
    And yeah, the tacos are good, but the bulgogi burritos are better!

    What legal standing would they have for suing?

    Sounds like they don't think they'd be able to handle the expense of fulfilling the demand this would create. IMO, if KOi just said free taco with purchase (or BOGO), they'd make out like bandits.

    Well if you are to chant that koi-taco, when they are supposed to chant McDonald's? I don't know, but it seems pretty fucked for McDonalds or Taco Bell to pay dollars for advertising they aren't gonna get. Blazers would take some serious heat for it.

    Fans aren't supposed to chant anything. If we choose to ignore the company whose name is on the coupons, that's our choice, and nobody's fault but theirs, really. Don't like it? Offer up a more desirable product. As far as KOi is concerned, they have absolutely no obligation to McDonalds, and Mickey D's would have no right to stop them from pursuing this promotion.
