Big brands are followed by millions of users on social networks, so they need to get every post on internet correct. Of course, mistakes do happen but if you have the brand reputation similar to McDonald’s you have to be very careful.
On Friday morning McDonald’s posted something very unusual on their twitter account, we don’t know it was by accident or they did it to get attraction but it looks like a scheduled tweet with some Black Friday promotion offer. This is what the official McDonald’s account tweeted
Black Friday **** Need copy and link****

Whether it is some marketing strategy or some mistake but Twitter certainly loved it. Read some awesome replies from netizens on this tweet.

Some Twitter users also think that McDonald’s social media team may be unaware of this incident.
This tweet was scheduled and posted for Midnight on "Black Friday" in the USA, safe to say that Macca's social media team are fat full of Turkey and have their phones on silent missing all the TAKE THAT DOWN notifications & messages:)) https://t.co/6S2jqgQCvF
