McDonald’s latest April Fool’s Day prank sparked fury with several Australians claiming that the fast food chain went too far this year. The burger chain in Australia announced a fresh menu on April 1 with McFry.
The addition to the menu led to a huge amount of excitement among fans.
The convincing picture showed a beef patty burger with fries stuffed inside, so you don’t have to do it yourself.
The post on the brand’s Instagram page read: “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.”
The fast-food chain went a step ahead and even partnered with a well-known Melbourne food blogger, Ange Eats, who could be seen tucking into the new burger.
He claimed: “The well-known hack we all know and love has just hit the menu in McDonald’s in Australia.
“Fries inside, we’ve got beef, cheese, onions, pickles, tomato sauce. It looks mega.”

Fans loved the idea and many were extremely disappointed to learn they wouldn’t be able to order one in their local branch.
Some went as far as to beg McDonald’s to make it a real thing to make up for the upset.
“I’d actually eat this Macca’s, don’t play with me”, one frustrated Aussie wrote, whilst another fumed: “This actually looks good.”
Someone else said: “This isn’t even a funny joke because it’s what we all want. Been doing it ourselves for years.”
This isn’t the first time that McDonald’s has left people fuming.
The burger giant had caused a stir with the McPickle in 2019.
The fake two-layered burger was filled with pickles and topped with cheese and tomato sauce – but it also wasn’t real, and people were left furious, with one commenting on their Instagram: “Omfg if this is an April Fool’s joke imma be mad.”
