Apparently Burger King woke up on International Women's Day and chose misogyny. Early this morning, @BurgerKingUK tweeted 'Women belong in the kitchen.' But don't worry, they were only being ironic! They followed up the tweet with two replies announcing their mission to 'change the gender ratio in the restaurant industry by empowering female employees with the opportunity to pursue a culinary career.' It's not just a tweet either—Burger King ran a huge print ad in the New York Times featuring 'Women belong in the kitchen' in bold text. It's amusing to imagine the marketing team come up with this one and pass the idea all the way up the chain.
Twitter is not feeling the ironic misogyny, to say the least. The tweet has since been shared over 140k times, mostly accompanied by hot takes and spicy roasts. We've collected some of the funniest reactions to Burger King's epic fail. Sorry BK, but you're no Wendy's.

While National Roast Day may not be an official holiday, it's certainly a day we take seriously. And it only makes sense that Wendy's, Twitter's most esteemed roast expert, would pull out all the stops for their favorite day of the year. In celebration of this important day, the account doled out roasts to anyone who requested them - and they're far spicier than their nuggets or chicken sandwich. We've rounded up some of their most skillful humiliations from yesterday for your entertainment, but you can catch even more of this fiery goodness on Twitter.
Everyone loves to mock Olive Garden for their iconic breadsticks and overcooked, highly caloric pasta dishes, but do you remember being a kid, twitching with excitement in the backseat of your parents' minivan on the way to a fancy evening at the local Olive Garden, or Sizzler, or TGI Friday's? We've all got that one place we remember feeling like a decadent treat when we were kids, but seem pretty underwhelming now as adults. @johnbcrist asked the people of Twitter to share the spots they used to think were super glamorous, and the replies made us feel pretty damn nostalgic. Check out some highlights we grabbed from the amusing thread.
McDonald's may not be the healthiest fast food chain out there, but it is probably the most legendary. The slingers of chicken nuggets, Big Macs and famous fries have seen their fair share of controversy, but that doesn't stop people from enjoying their food. And making a whole lotta memes about the restaurant and its creepy clown mascot, Ronald McDonald. These memes and arguably cursed images are proof of that.
It seems like over the past couple years, fast food chains and their social media accounts have pretty much turned into a hilarious clusterf*ck of insults and roasting each other. We're all well aware of Wendy's and its ridiculous Twitter antics in particular, but today we're focusing on Burger King. You may not have known that this fast food giant also has quite the troll-y nature, and we're all for it.
Happy 420 to all you stoners out there! If you've already started "celebrating" then we're betting you probably a case of the munchies. These memes about food won't satisfy your cravings, but they will make you laugh! Although, let's be honest, you'll laugh at anything right now.
Now check out one of our past galleries of 420 memes!
Even if you're a die-hard gym rat, pretty much all of us can relate to these memes at least occasionally. They're meant for those times where you've been sitting on the couch with Netflix all day and you have to walk down a couple flights of stairs to meet your UberEats driver.

"Donimo's Pizza" in Pyongyang, North Korea is our favorite new Facebook account run by some seriously dedicated trolls who apparently love clams and pineapple on their pizza. Not to be confused with "Domino's pizza" in the Unite States, of course. We'll just let you take a look at the account yourselves because it really needs no further explanation - nor can we give any further explanation for that matter.
It's no secret that the internet goes insane for chicken nuggets, or as many affectionately refer to them, "chicky nuggies." We all can recall the days when our moms would give in and get us McDonald's chicken nuggets for dinner, foregoing cooking a meal with any sort of nutritional value.
If you haven't heard (or understandably just don't give a crap), Kanye West has started preaching the Gospel in his newest album, Jesus is King. He's even given up swearing, and has vowed to change his old lyrics to cleaner versions. No, we're not joking.
The album hasn't received the best reviews so far (apart from Donald Trump Jr.'s favorable remarks), but the song "Closed on Sunday" has gotten a fair amount of attention for its mock-worthy lyric, "closed on a Sunday, you're my Chick-Fil-A" in reference to the fast food chain's well-known Christian morals.
Need we say anymore?
KFC announced yesterday that they are releasing a dating sim game on Steam and people on Twitter are responding both incredulously and lustfully at the news. The game, called I Love You Colonel Sanders! A Finger Lickin' Good Dating Simulator, is set for a September 24th release, and features Japanese-style animation, as well as an unsettlingly hot depiction of a young Colonel Sanders.
According to KFC, the game features multiple hours of gameplay, recipes, and a secret ending. Players will be able to choose one of nine characters to attend culinary school with the fried chicken zaddy, in the hopes of becoming his business partner or, uh, lover. We'll admit that the premise of this game is somewhat disturbing, but we're both intrigued and weirdly into the animated Sanders. According to these Twitter reactions, we're definitely not alone.
In case you haven't heard about the Great Sandwich War of 2019...well, it's a thing. Because apparently that's what's important in people's lives right now. Not, you know, the fact that the Amazon Rain Forest is burning down, or the political turmoil happening throughout the world. Nope, it's the chicken sandwiches that matter.
Anyway, have a lovely day and enjoy these memes about fried chicken sandwiches! Or whatever! Who cares!
