Makku, it sounds more cute.


Which reminds me of a funny story. When a friend of mine came back from japan after living there a few years we all went to McDonald's and he ordered his food in Japanese on accident.. the cashier guy was so confused.

Okay that doesn't sound funny but at the time it was. <<

Nooo.... I voted for the wrong one.
Makudo sounds better, and is closer to "Mcdonalds".

That's awesome! I would have fallen over laughing if I'd been there XD . If I were the cashier, I would have had to stop and say "Chotto, matte kudasai--I don't speak that much Japanese yet ^_^;;; " .

I prefer Makku. But I don't like McDonald's anyway, their food sucks balls.
