Product placement

McDonald's: ACTS - it is the source of the food being consumed in the challenge. Removing it would change the entire premise of the video. It is incidental to the video's narrative, but it is the subject of the challenge. McDonald's logo (on cups and fries boxes): APPEARS - it is a brand identifier. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.

Call to action

Y'all stay tuned. I'm gonna post it soon.

Transcript

This viral post has been going around for years saying if you could finish this meal you'll get 100k. I will be going to McDonald's myself to see if I'm able to complete this challenge without the help of any friends. What is this? Like four quarter-pounders, two medium fries, two 10-piece chicken nuggets and four drinks. I could easily beat that. Y'all stay tuned. I'm gonna post it soon.
