If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen—and off Twitter.
It's hard to tell if the people reacting to the tweet were legitimately confused or just trolling, but either way, the responses were swift and brutal.
@McDonalds Fresh beef as opposed to spoiled beef? Fresh beef as opposed to fresh kangaroo? What HAVE you been using in the 1/4 Pounders?
@McDonalds as opposed to not so fresh?
@McDonalds fresh beef? So what has america been eating all this time? Im done with yall plus your ice cream machines never work.
Even rival Wendy's, which totally understood what McDonald's meant by the tweet, couldn't help but join in the fun (though Wendy's could've used a copyeditor).
@DFusions @McDonalds Only when the ice cream machine isn't broken.
You know what they say: If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen—and off Twitter.
