If you were crazy enough to brave the crowds on Black Friday, you may have missed this internet roasting that was going on between two fast food giants: Wendy’s and McDonald’s. Now Wendy’s has roasted McDonald’s before when they bashed them for their so-called “fresh beef,” but this time around it was all about their Twitter skills.
Check out at the mistake that some McDonald’s intern (probably) tweeted recently.
Black Friday **** Need copy and link****

Now as you can tell, that “link” wasn’t posted. So that’s why I’m saying an intern was probably responsible for that. Or maybe McDonald’s doesn’t pay their social media person that much, which wouldn’t surprise me. Anyway, this is how Wendy’s responded.
When the tweets are as broken as the ice cream machine. https://t.co/esdndK1iFm

And Twitter was of course all about it:
Wendys tweets is all the reason we need to keep net neutrality

And some folks felt bad for McDonald’s:

Y’all mocking this tweet are going to look *really* silly when McDonald’s bring out their new Copy and Link special combo mealhttps://t.co/IJpoHtrhzz

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

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.

Don’t worry, McDonald’s, you’ll get them another day.
