McDonald’s Plays an April Fool’s Day Prank
MIAMI BEACH, FL - JULY 18: Jeff Baughman unwraps his Double Quarterpounder with cheese and a Super Fries and a Super Coke on July 18, 2002 at a McDonalds in Miami Beach, Florida. The health effects of an American diet of super-sized fast foods are becoming apparent as increasing numbers of children and adults are being treated for obesity. Studies seem to point to the fact that many overweight children and adults get a large portion of their calories by consuming too many sodas and sweetened juices and beverages. Sweetened drinks + "super-sized" meals + the convenience of fast food + a decrease in physical activity = a recipe for obesity. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
They did us dirty that’s for sure.
McDonald’s managed to make customers upset after playing an April Fool’s Day joke on their customers. McDonald’s claimed to be introducing the McPickle Burger, which consisted of cheese, ketchup, a sesame seed bun, and two mounds of pickles.
The fast-food chain shared a video of the burger on their Australian social media pages and pickle lovers went bananas over the new menu item.
Others who figured out it wasn’t really a sandwich wanted McDonald’s to make the sandwich a real thing.
