I think it's fair enough Maccy Ds responded like that! Shave off the snark and that's the single only way to reply after being painted in a corner like that. Still, give me my McWhopper

 

[Liberty4all]

I think McDonalds should have tried to turn it around ... Agree but put a spin on it. As it stands they end up looking like dopey bad guys that don't want to help a charity which is still a win scenario for BK.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

A better response from McDonald's would have been: "Taking the best from a Big Mac and the best from a Whopper would result in a Big Mac"

 

[K' Dash]

I don't eat burgers anymore, but I will have a whopper for lunch, fuck off McDonalds

 

[Messypandas]

Sounded like a good idea, no wonder McD's wasn't interested. That response was super cunty.

 

[Circle Jerk]

I don't really agree with anyone saying this seems like a good idea. A one day, one location, one pop up for charity event? They could do multiple cities, multiple locations, but the press they get would probably be the same. This feels more like a company doing the bare minimum to get positive PR.

 

[EightBitNate]

Coke and Pepsi have even collaborated for charity before IIRC.

 

[Chris R]

Big Mac with Whopper meat?

Sign me up

 

[alvmew]

That website was adorable. I'd probably never try it even if it wasn't in just one pop up, but I like the idea.

McDonald's response was awfully shitty. like most of their food

 

[Ganhyun]

well Atlanta is certainly full of sheep that love fast food, so this would be a resounding success

Whats with the dig at Atlanta man?

On topic, it would be a neat idea. With all the issues McDonalds is having, this would be good PR for them too.

 

[Alienous]

What an un-fun reply from McDonalds.

A better response from McDonald's would have been: "Taking the best from a Big Mac and the best from a Whopper would result in a Big Mac"

Haha. You know, McDonalds should do a heel turn. Everyone hates them already anyway.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

McDonald's needs to make sure the salt stays on their fries instead of their responses.

 

[Negaduck]

I would try it. Prolly will hate myself after but I would try it for sure.

 

[Lotto]

the amount of burger king fans in here disgusts me

i'd try the mcwhopper though.

 

[Roi]

Like there is a real difference between a McDonalds hamburger and a Burger King hamburger.

 

[Shaffield]

I live there and the fast food situation is out of control. The frenzy over new Cookout locations is ridiculous

 

[Alucrid]

Well McDonald's isn't the one leveraging world peace as a marketing stunt

 

[PeterLegend]

Two average tasting burgers joining forces.

lol

 

[PhantomHound]

Peace? There won't be any peace in my stomach after eating that.

 

[funkystudent]

BK patties + McDonalds sauces could work.

Tomato slices anywhere near a Big Mac sounds like a real bad idea though.

 

[Chmpocalypse]

Have to agree. The fries are pretty much the only thing I think that McD's does really, really well. Absolutely nothing in the world like fresh McD's fries.

"fresh" lol

I mean, I love them too, but come on. : p

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

Thanks to this thread i want some McDonalds and will go grab some in a few.

Whoppers are way better than big macs.

Also i want to try this Buttermilk chicken sandwich on the commercial.

Expectations are low of course

 

[Chmpocalypse]

A better response from McDonald's would have been: "Taking the best from a Big Mac and the best from a Whopper would result in a Big Mac"

But that would be false advertising.

 

[Lights and Waves]

Big Macs slay but that McDonald's response was so cold. lol

 

[TheOMan]

Whopper is OK but Big Mac is trash tier imo

Yup and yup.

 

[this_guy]

Doesn't Burger King have something similar called the Big King?

Never had one of those Big Kings but isn't this already the same general idea from Burger King if people were really curious?

*edit: beaten!

 

[PreFire]

lol that McDonalds response is condescending as shit. Take it easy guys.

Lol that's what I thought too.

"PS
Next time call you MOTHERFUCKERS"

 

[Bossniak]

Mm whopper I think I'll go get me some.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Never had one of those Big Kings but isn't this already the same general idea from Burger King if people were really curious?

Yeah the Big King is a shitty knock off the Big Mac, I only tried it once but it's terrible. It doesn't use regular Whopper patties, I think they're from the Whopper Jr. And of course it doesn't look anything like that picture.

 

[shiftplusone]

"hi we're burger king and this would be neat. it's not a big impact but it'd raise awareness for a cause"

hi im steve and I run mcdonalds and I say fuck your stupid idea, losers

make me waste my god damn time by putting this out in public instead of letting me shit on you over an email

fuck the whopper

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

Whopper is OK but Big Mac is trash tier imo

lol Bic Mac is much better than the Whopper.

 

[LocknessMobster]

Would! Make it happen.

 

[Vanish]

McDonald's sound like real assholes in that response wow

 

[Sanjuro]

Ideally?

A McGangbang featuring a Wendy's Spicy Chicken, Whopper Sized Patties, and Mac Sauce.

I want this.

 

[R-User!]

Go buy all that shit, and then let us know how that shit tasted! After you take a shit.

 

[hbkdx12]

This came off to me as suuuuper passive aggressive.

Aside from the whole thing being passive aggressive as fuck, the whole "a simple phone will do next time" is the stand out gem as it basically reads: we don't want to be publicly associated with you in any way and fuck you for making me have to respond to this publicly to save face for me and my brand.

 

[BumRush]

Shouldn't they do two cities (both headquarters) instead of one arbitrary place?

 

[inner-G]

The Big King is fuckin gross.

 

[Dad]

Ideally?

I want this.

 

[LostCaress]

There's hope for palestine

 

[Ivan 3414]

McDonalds would never do this. Coke doesn't acknowledge pepsi.

Coke and Pepsi have collaborated quite a few times on various projects, actually

 

[Sanjuro]

Go buy all that shit, and then let us know how that shit tasted! After you take a shit.

The McDonald's part is a bit difficult. Also, wish there could be something more than just the sauce, but nothing really would go with it correctly.

My favorite is still the McGriddleBurger though from them.

 

[kirby_fox]

I like this and want to see more. Go deeper.

I want an entire day where companies sell products that cross together like this. Or a whole week. Give me wild cherry real sugar coke, and vanilla coke Pepsi.

 

[Ryck]

McDonalds response comes off passive aggressive...damn dudes, we know your dumpster's on fire

Yep, thought the same thing.

 

[Toth]

Wow BK comes across as very cool and McDonalds as condescending and rude. The p.s line wAs exceptionally crude and passive aggressive.

 

[Sanjuro]

That's just positioning. If they both came out together with this, fine. Instead it looks like Burger King is the dominant force here.

 

[SneakyStephan]

"Our brand could do something bigger to make a difference"

Like give the whole world diabetes!

Hahahahaha!

 

[Neverfade]

One day at one particular store nationwide? It's fucking nothing. Roll this shit out Nationwide! Unite the banners!

 

[Chmpocalypse]

lol Bic Mac is much better than the Whopper.

I'm sorry about your sense of taste, was it a tragic accident?

: p
