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'm OK with it. It's posted in /dev/random and everyone on Soylent likes pickles (surely).

If you RTFA this is less of an advertisement and more about some guy geeking out over his favourite food. Which I thought this crowd might appreciate.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head.

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...

Hard on the Windows Powershell 7 Soyvertisement, we get "Tasmanian Man"? I was thinking, "interbred with Denosivians", but no, pickles, and MickyD's pickles. Could we not have had a nice banned aristarchus submission instead of this vegemite?

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.
