@tony14779 From what I remember I think the ban had something to with the fact that in one of the ads (one that isn't up on YT) Sarah mentioned that she ALWAYS ate at Burger King and NEVER at McDonalds. Therefore while the lawsuit was going on she had to live up to that claim because if she didn't it would give McDonalds some type of legal footing in the lawsuits that were flying back and forth at the time.
Kind of funny how things work out. Lea Thompson and Elisabeth Shue went on to star with each other in BTF Parts One & Two. Several years later Thompson had a daughter named Zoey (Deutch) who is now also an actress. Zoey Deutch will be starring this fall in the series "Ringer" where she will portray Sarah Michelle Gellar's daughter.
It wasn't a lifetime ban, it was just until the case was settled. In fact burger king had her say "merry Christmas McDonald's" as a jab at them because McDonald's was taking them to court at the time. Ironically years later McDonald's was a sponsor for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".
@RoadCone411 haha apparently when she was a little kid she was afraid she couldn't go to mcdonald's any more, then her mom said that there probably weren't any officials in the restaurants who were gonna kick her out. but man a lifetime ban would be harsh.

So was this a lifetime ban? Is SMG still banned from Mickey D's? (Would anybody really know if she went through and ordered from the drive-thru?)
