For April Fools' Day 2019, McDonald's offered up a tantalizing treat for pickle lovers with its McPickle Burger. Sadly, for lovers of pickles, it was all a sham to put one over the public on the first day of April. In response, a staunch pickle-holic decided to take them at their word successfully ordering the nonexistent April Fools' pickle burger. A McDonald's staff member recognized the request from seeing the prank posted earlier that day and helped the man in getting his dream burger. The burger was eaten "reasonably quickly" to the horror and astonishment of onlookers, but the man won't be having another any time soon.

Well done, Sir.

    I would have been impressed (a little) if the guy had managed to get a printed receipt with McPickles written on it. But what he ordered is just a custom-made Big Mac at the regular Big Mac price, and the story is really about how the girl at the counter thought he was a bit of a retard.

    How that gets turned into a news article, I'll never know...
