McDonald’s has unveiled a new eye-catching packaging design, which is fun and educational at the same time. The restaurant chain is changing the look of its carry-out bags and fountain beverage cups, which now fearure QR codes that provide access to nutrition information. The fast-food giant launches the new design in the U.S. this week and is going to roll it out globally through 2013, “with the text being translated into 18 different languages,” says the company in the press note.

Hot on the heels of the recent success of the «Our Food. Your Questions» interactive platform launched by McDonald’s Canada in a bid to become even more transparent, honest and closer to consumers, the company now is amplifying the online activities on the site and Facebook app with an advertising campaign. It includes 30-second TV spot, digital takeovers, wild postings, full motion video projections and transit dominations in key markets across Canada.
