The McFlurry that broke the internet

WHAT’S wrong with this photo?

A lot, according to a Japanese tourist who sparked a McFlurry of activity on Twitter after complaining about the dessert she received in Paris.

In fact, she said it looked more like “garbage” than a tasty treat.

The Tweet received a mixed response. While many people agreed that it looked unappetising, others jumped to the defence of the iconic ice cream and chocolate snack and praised McDonalds for being generous with the amount of chocolate on top.

The photo has been retweeted nearly 10,000 times.

Meanwhile, it seems the treat has a lot of fans and it can be hard to live up to their high expectations!

Cannot believe my mum just bought the dog her own McFlurry "so she doesn't feel left out"

It’s not the first time food has sparked heated debate online. Earlier this month a man shared a photo of a stingy bacon and egg roll on Reddit, which contained what could be the world’s smallest portions inside a seemingly unbuttered lump of bread.

You call that a sandwich?

Also this month, a cake of the popular Frozen character Elsa was mocked mercilessly, before it was discovered that the cake was actually baked by a company that makes goodies for families impacted by the critical illness of a child.

Yes, the Elsa on the right bears little resemblance to the one on the left ... but it’s a dessert people!

We reckon they all just need to chill.
