The "Calvin" McDonald's commercials of the early 90s depicted a young Black man finding a career path through fast-food management. Dave Chappelle famously satirized these ads with his "Wack Arnold's" sketches, which portrayed the restaurant as a force tearing families apart and killing the community with high cholesterol. The satire highlighted the "thin line between fries and shakes" and the reality of working for a "drug cartel" disguised as a burger joint.
