Porridge and crumpets included on extensive list of foods banned from TV ads before 9pm

Haven’t read the thread so apologies if discussed already. Are McDonald’s, Burger King or KFC included in this watershed ban?

Quite likely would have to be. Randomly calculating ballpark NPM scores for a Big Mac and Cheeseburger they both (surprise!) fail spectacularly (>10).

To be honest my question was as hypothetical as it was cynical. Of course they should be included in the ban. But given the immense wealth of such corporations and the fast food industry as a whole, I'd be very surprised if they were.

In what alternative universe do kids pester their parents to buy porridge?
