Honorable mention: Unforgiving armchair fans
Hey, mistakes happen. But some McDonald’s customers in Minnesota weren’t very understanding when the wrong promotional cups were sent to a unit in the Twin Cities area. The containers were part of a football tie-in with the state’s beloved Minnesota Vikings. Unfortunately, they were emblazoned with the logos of the Vike’s archrival, the Green Bay Packers, who are tied for first with the local team. Even worse: A coupon presented along with the cups entitled the bearer to BOGO deal on sandwiches—if the Packers won their next game.
