Following Team USA's thrilling gold medal victory over France in the Olympic basketball final, McDonald's France jokingly responded to the nation's disappointment with a tongue-in-cheek social media post.
The fast food chain hinted at the possible discontinuation of its popular curry sauce, drawing parallels between the French team's defeat and the beloved condiment. The post, accompanied by an image of the curry sauce container, quickly went viral, sparking a wave of hilarious reactions and comments.
Stephen Curry’s stellar performance in the game, especially his game-winning three-pointers, was undoubtedly a factor in the French team’s defeat. McDonald’s France’s humorous response capitalized on the national disappointment, while also demonstrating the brand’s ability to engage its audience on a lighthearted level.
