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.

McDonald set up the joke just to be a cool company. Not important, not too much publicity, it didn't become a great meme, just to be there. Thanks to this guy, McDonald's prank got a lot more of visibility: more widespread, and longer time.
I hope this guy has been smart enough to get some money from McDonald.

He already got the world's only McPickle Burger, what more does he need?
