The interesting part is that it's apparently embraced by the brand itself. Back when we had real McDonald's in Russia*, its colloquial name was "makdak" or simply "mak", but it was that — how people called it (and still do). Never recognized officially.
* the corporate pulled out of Russia several months ago and the business was sold to the biggest franchisee. The new owner reopened the stores under a different brand name but kept most of everything else.

- unsafecast 4y agoIt's 'mac' in Romania. Sometimes 'mek'. I always just use the real name.

- madeofpalk 4y agoSupermarket chain "Woolworths" - commonly called "Woolies" - had a campaign using the Woolies name a while back. These short names are so ubiquitous in Australia that of course they'll eventually use them, if only tongue in cheek.
