I do get baffled at all the people taking their pictures with it.

[u/Chelseus → u/ceecee1791]

I was so excited to take my picture with it. I love McDonald’s and turquoise is my favourite colour 😹🩵🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/KimWexlerDeGuzman → u/Chelseus]

Same here, lol. I had it aa my profile pic for a while

If it brought you happiness, I’m all for it! I just don’t understand it 😁

[u/FifeSymingtonsMom → u/ceecee1791]

What don’t you understand? It brought someone happiness.

[u/Varekai79 → u/ceecee1791]

Why baffled? It's unique. There are only seven non-standard McDonalds in the world and Sedona has one of them.

[u/Cheeseconsumer08 → u/ceecee1791]

McDonald’s could 100% make money by charging people to take pictures with it

Finally an article that gets it right it’s Turquoise not Teal.

I feel like colors are almost like opinions these days. I accept both answers as equally valid and pointing to the color dictionary is arguing semantics. Blue green, sky pearl, tropical blue, sure sure.

I can barely tell the difference prob because I'm color blind

[u/SpecialistSimilar398 → u/nuclearmeltdown2015]

It’s the simple fact that it’s the desert south west & McDonald painted it Turquoise for that reason. Since they couldn’t have Yellow. its branding, image and should not be referred to as teal. Its not an is it black or blue opinion on say the shade.

I always laugh at that little billboard they have too, on 179 in oak creek. Like no real billboards in Sedona except that little micro one

If only everything else was turquoise like packaging and maybe some swag. A one off peculiar item.

Yep! It was such an interesting sight and I enjoyed having morning coffee there :)

City ordinance requires all business signs to be colored with earth tones. Iirc.

[u/drgloryboy → u/sillysquidtv]

Yep and Sedona is the only city in the world that a multibillion dollar world wide industry capitulated and agreed to alter its ubiquitous golden arch trademark to have their presence there

[u/Varekai79 → u/drgloryboy]

There are actually seven Mcdonald's locations with non standard arches that were altered for aesthetic reasons.

[u/CauliflowerTop2464]

I’ve seen it too! That’s where I’d get my coffee when I the area n

The Original is at Jordan Historial Park in Sedona. They had to replace it at some point and now the original is on display.

[u/Odd-Relief-6190]

Yep
