2 days agoHow McDonald's CEO's viral burger video turned memes into money
The clip took off after creators on X and TikTok started to mock Kempczinski for his overly corporate presentation and stiffness. In the video, Kempczinski takes a small bite of the burger - which he refers to as a "product" - against the backdrop of his office. This prompted rival fast-food execs from Burger King and Wendy's, along with general social media users, to recreate the video with their own taste tests.
