Twitter does not forget easily.

If you make a mistake on Twitter, it is highly unlikely that no one will notice it. Especially if its McDonald’s Twitter account.

Yes, we get it. Black Friday can be quite heavy for some people. So you might be tweeting with a hangover, and things might not be making a lot of sense, but Twitter will roast the hell out of you if you mess up.

McDonald’s recently uploaded this tweet:

Yikes.

And guess who was quick to respond? Wendy’s, of course!

SAVAGE.

And Twitter went crazy at this response.

You have to admit, their roasting skills are great.

 

Wendys tweets is all the reason we need to keep net neutrality

Not the hero we wanted, but the hero we needed.

Wendy’s is the hero we need.

Chrissy Teigen chimed in too.

This is basically like winning a Twitter Oscar.

Well, McDonald’s did mess up.

Or did they?

Mistake or on purpose? I’d like to think it was planned because it’s super funny. https://t.co/yrJ6PoI9p4

Ok honestly if you have never scheduled emails or social media you won’t understand how hectic it is. I feel u McDonald’s https://t.co/OD0IEVdttC

Logic.

I don’t believe this is a stunt, either. This is their corporate acct, not the main @McDonald‘s, + “copy” is an industry term. Besides massive reach on a mistake, they don’t get value out of it.

Definitely a draft. Why the CM decided to put it in the schedule as is is a mystery

— Chloé Marino (@tacobell83) November 24, 2017

Because you can use Sprinklr as a content calendar (which I hate), I’ve had previous clients demand filler posts get scheduled so they can “see the full picture” – and this is why it’s a horrible idea.

This is how McDonald’s defended itself.

Excellent save.

— Akilah Green (@akilahgreen) November 24, 2017

Hahaha please give whoever did that original tweet a break and whoever saved it a raise. If it’s the same person – a big breakfast platter.
