Kapa'a resident Nick Mortel is one of 24 people selected by McDonald's Corp. to appear on packaging that will be rolled out at restaurants in the U.S. and Canada this month. He was picked from among 13,000 entries received, the world's largest restaurant chain said."The thousands of extraordinary entries submitted in our first-ever online global casting call far exceeded our expectations," said McDonald's executive Mary Dillon said in a news release.
"It demonstrates another way we connect with our customers in unique and fun ways. We're delighted to provide these selected 24 inspiring people an opportunity to share their personal passions with more than 52 million of our customers each day around the world."
McDonald's described Mortel as a high school student who loves watching and playing football. He was one of eight people selected in North America. Others on the packaging come from Latin America, Asia and Europe.
The company said each person received a paid trip for two to London.
