Is McDonald going to create their own McDonald coin?Where as each McDonald coin will allow its coin holder to cash in one McNugget or $1 worth of McDonald bucks?
Maplecoin has already taken advantage of this incredible marketing strategy to promote their Maple Syrup.
A quote from this article:
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/cryptocurrency-news-round-bitcoin-spikes-maple-syrup-backs-maplecoin-1449239Maplecoin, the national cryptocurrency of Canada, has become the first ever cryptocurrency to be backed by an internationally recognised reserve asset: Maple Syrup.
A permanent fixed exchange rate of one maplecoin to one millilitre of Maple Syrup has been established through the creation of the Maplecoin National Syrup Reserve.
Users of maplecoin will therefore now be able to cash in their cryptocurrency for pots of syrupy deliciousness through the syrup reserve.
"You will be required to turn over to us one maplecoin per millilitre of Maple Syrup exchanged," said the maplecoin developer team in a statement. "We will ship with a Certificate of Authenticity from the maplecoin National Syrup Reserve certifying an asset exchange."

I wouldn't be surprise if you see fortune 500 companies start creating their own cryptocurrency and use their product or service to back up its value.
For example: 1 FaceBook coin = $1 facebook cash value
1 StarBuck coin = $1 star buck cash value
1 Amazon coin = $1 dollars worth of Amazon credit or $1 amazon cash value
1 Six Flag coin = $1 worth of six flag buck
1 PeaPod coin = $1 worth of groceries at

... You get the idea, the list goes on from there ...
