Move over rappers
and rockstars, there’s real “beef” across these social media streets skreets.
While McDonald’s never got back with Burger King on that burger remix, BK’s heart still went on-in quite the snide, bold way.
Fast food giants: Burger King and Wendy’s traded subliminal insults across social media definitely worthy of taking notice.
