Did you know that the word "decadent" means rotten. It is not a suitable word to use in your commercials.

Actually, like MANY words, it has a few meanings. If you click the link below you will see that the number 2 meaning is "Marked by or providing unrestrained gratification; self-indulgent." That meaning is the one that is inferred by using the word in the terms that McDonalds is using it.

Did you know you should end a question with a question mark? Maybe you should brush up on punctuation before you attempt to criticize the verbiage of others.

Yes, I knew that, its bas word is decay. :)
Sometimes, food requires decaying food, but not to the point that it can do lethal damage. The decay can actually improve taste.
