ok, who cares i don't even know of anyone "pronouncing m" like "muh" anyway
it's irrelevant.. some people read mc as "meek" too, doesn't really matter. again, this is an american brand.. not a dictionary word. it's like telling a french person the RIGHT way to pronounce france is how americans pronounce it
stop arguing it

This is the first McDonald's commercial ever and they're clearly saying MacDonald
tl;dr: Mac and Mc are both correct, Mic is not
"Mc" is pronounced "Mic" in the U.S. and they clearly say "McDonalds" in that commercial. "MacDonalds" is not the correct pronunciation in the U.S. and you'd either be considered white trash or a bumpkin for saying that here.
