Person Running The McDonald’s Twitter Account Gets Attention from Other Famous Brands After ‘Emotional Meltdown’

It might’ve just been to get attention and tease about the return of the McRib, but a tweet from the McDonald’s account a few days before the McRib announcement got a lot of attention from other brands.
The Tweet reads, “it’s always ‘when is the McRib coming back’ and never ‘how are you doing person who runs the McDonald’s account.’”

The “person who runs the McDonald’s account” was very clever with this post that led to condolences from people running the social media accounts for a variety of other brands including Facebook, Instagram, Ulta Beauty, Pizza Hut and Dippin Dots who even joked about the McDonald’s ice-cream machines being broken all the time.
We hear you, person who runs the McDonald’s account. Let us know if you want to commiserate – you bring the fries, we’ll bring the ice cream (you know, since people are always complaining your ice cream machines are broken…😐)
