Lincoln Fry

Lincoln Fry

The Lincoln Fry was a fictional item made up for a viral marketing campaign in 2005. It was supposedly a McDonald's french fry with Abraham Lincoln's likeness on it in profile. The Lincoln Fry was featured in a television commercial that ran in the U.S. during February 2005's Super Bowl XXXIX, and in a complimentary blog, designed to appear to be an amateur production.

The prop fry used in the campaign was about four inches (10 cm) long and molded from polyurethane plastic.
