McDonald's April Fool's Day joke backfires and leaves fans absolutely fuming

Everybody knows that on April Fool's Day you can't believe everything you hear or read, as there is always a chance it could be a complete wind up. McDonald's decided to join in on the fun this year with their own unique prank - but it left their customers furious with some fast food lovers saying the chain went too far.

Australian McDonald's restaurants, known as 'Maccas', announced a brand new menu item on social media yesterday called the McFry. The fake yet convincing image showed a delicious-looking beef patty burger with fries stuffed inside, and it caused a lot of excitement among fans, the Mirror reports.

The brand shared the 'new' meal on Instagram, saying: "The ultimate Mac-hack now comes made to order, as we take the classic Quarter Pounder and stack it with Australia's fave fries. No mess. No fuss. No worries. We've made it so you don't have to! Get your hands on the McFry today."
