This is one of those ideas that sounds awesome in theory but blows up in your face once it hits the internet.
To celebrate its new in-store touch screen, McDonald’s New Zealand recently ran a “Create Your Taste” campaign with an online contest that encouraged customers to get creative with their food.
#1
The contest allowed people to build and name customized burgers and then post the final product on McDonald's webpage where others could vote for the best bougie hamburger creation.
#2
It didn't take long for this seemingly innocent sandwich contest to take a turn for the worst, and once the homepage transformed into a shit show of filthy and offensive burger creations, McDonald's finally pulled the plug on its promotion.
