You've just broken up with your girlfriend. You've missed the easiest catch in school softball. You've had a fight with mum or dad. You think the whole world is against you. There is no way up, right? Wrong. There is someone who is always by your side, no matter what. This special someone just always knows how to put a smile on your face. They smell nice, they taste nice and they understand you like no one else.
Guessed who this special someone is yet? That's right. They go by the name of McDonald's. This fast-food powerhouse has been comfort feeding hungry Aussies on a daily basis for decades. But how are they so damn successful at doing so? Everyone wants to eat healthy right? That's the new craze? It's all about chia seeds and kale chips now, right?
Well let's take a look at how this giant is playing the game on social media and continuing to win over guilty fans.
Old McDonald had a farm e i e i o, and on his farm he had a...pack of 6 nuggets? What's going on here? Turns out today is St. Patrick's day. Happy St. Patrick's day everyone. How should we celebrate this Irish holiday built on heavy drinking and all things green? I know. Let's go to McDonald's and order a pack of 6 nuggets. They're not green, they're not alcoholic (well, I'm at least 90% sure) but damn son do they taste amazing.
Could a stunt like this actually work? Are people going to go to McDonald's and load up on these golden bite sized babies? Maybe the pot at the end of the rainbow actually does contains McDonald's nuggets, gold coins are just an urban myth.
Let's take a closer look now shall we. How did the Australian Facebook community respond.
The top commenter has done us all a favour and asked the 'golden' question.
I bet she didn't expect such a fiery response.
McDonald's was clearly prepared for this question.
'duh!'
Seems as though McDonald's has won this battle with a 42-19 'like' ratio.
The public is very fond of this spicy behaviour.
I think whoever is in charge of the McDonald's Facebook page has mastered the perfect blend between sincerity and playful sarcasm when it comes to these replies.
Seems like some people are actually tagging friends, as their cravings for all things deep fried have kicked in.
Well well, the golden arches have spoken. Just because it's St. Patrick's day, it doesn't mean that McDonald's can't be on the agenda. I'm still undecided on whether or not the golden nuggets have won this round, however I am sure that they will be back in the near future to fight again.
