McDonald's launched a fun new promotion with a Super Bowl TV ad on Sunday, which allows some customers to "Pay With Lovin.'"

The fast food chain is temporarily accepting acts of love - such as high-fives, selfies, kisses, hugs and "I love yous" - as forms of payment at preselected times at restaurants throughout the US.

Customers and store employees have been posted videos on YouTube taking part in these unusual transactions. Many with comedic, or cringeworthy, effect.

"OK, I LIKE YOUR EARRINGS."

"Hang on I have to put you on speakerphone for one second; I have to say that I love you. Don't ask."

Some reluctant dancing and hugging in Kentuckiana.

Smooth moves.

"Awwwwww I love youuuu!"
