This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 86%. (I'm a bot)

By arugatse on FlickrWhen Rob Lowe appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live with a golden McDonald's card on Wednesday, one big question remained: How could the Average Joe get his own card that granted him access to unlimited McDonald's?

While Lowe says he received the Gold Card because his buddy's dad created the McMuffin, McDonald's confirmed to Business Insider that he in fact received the card from David Peterson - the buddy in question, who is now a McDonald's franchisee himself.

While the cards are nearly identical, unlike Lowe's card, Crandell's awards him free McDonald's for life.
