That's right.... Subliminal Messages.

McDonalds was apparently caught out placing subliminal messages within a television program that they were a sponsor of.

The Iron Chef was viewed by an American boy while he was watching the show on his home computer. As he was viewing the TV show, he thought he saw a red flash. The boy rewound the show and watched once more. Sure that he saw it again, he rewound and slowed the framing down.

There it was. For just one thirteenth of a frame the screen flashed McDonalds!

The idea behind this subliminal message was the hope that people watching this program would see the food on the show, want food themselves and then subconsciously think of McDonalds. Smart move I say, had they of not been caught out of course.
