Even by the standards of social media fiascos, this one's a doozy. On Monday, Burger King's official Twitter feed announced the chain had been sold to its rival and began posting pro-McDonald's messages and tales of employee drug use.
The strange Twitter activity took place after hackers apparently took control of Burger King's account and replaced its name and image with the McDonald's logo.
I guess that's what we call a "McHack"....

While I’m against hacking a Twitter account or any account at all, I must admit that it’s a bit funny. Anyway, aren’t all fast-food companies basically all the same?
Yeah…I would think so, too
Thanks for stopping by!
