Transcript

just found out that it has became a trend to call McDonalds here on TikTok. Yeah, that's right. You search up McDonalds social media page, press message, and you can just call them. I actually did not expect it to work, but it does work. If they accept, that's up to your luck. They did not accept my call. I guess they have a personal vendetta against me. Is what it is, right? But all jokes aside, there's probably some poor worker working the media team for McDonalds and his phone is just ringing all day. And apparently, sometimes actually know, call, uh, what do you wanna, stuff and that's how the call ends, right? But, uh, yeah, I mean, I'm just surprised at the fact that you can even call them in the first place. Why added the feature to be a caller, but I guess you can. But yeah, this news is pretty funny are to you guys. I don't think TikTok would really thought that this would happen, but, uh, it did. So, uh, you can do whatever you want with this information.
