People are loving this Burger King ad ahead of the second national lockdown in England
Not often a burger ad gets people this excited but Burger King went viral today with this Twitter message before the second national lockdown in England on Thursday.

Here’s what they had to say.
‘ORDER FROM MCDONALD’S
We never thought we’d be asking you to do this. Just like we never thought we’d be encouraging you to order from KFC, Subway, Domino’s Pizza, Pizza Hut, Five Guys, Greggs, Taco Bell, Papa John’s, Leon … or any of the other independent outlets, too numerous to mention here. In short, from any of our sister food chains (fast or not so fast).
‘We never thought we’d be asking you to do this, but restaurants employing thousands of staff really need your support at the moment.
‘So if you want to help, keep treating yourself to tasty meals through home delivery, takeaway or drive thru. Getting a Whopper is always best, but ordering a Big Mac is also not such a bad thing.
Take care, Team Burger King UK’
And people were lovin’ it.
Respect from a McDonald’s fan🤝

Burger King encouraging you to order from their rivals should tell you all you need to know about the state of this year. https://t.co/qIjLBLR3yC

There was a bit of this too.
What the fuck is this🤣

And this.
McDonald's has a net worth of c.$31,491,350,000.
I think they are OK.
Support local smaller businesses.

McD's are franchises – so while the main organisation is huge, individually the restaurants are still small businesses.
