The internet chewed up and spat out Rishi Sunak for his McDonald’s stunt, but Burger King absolutely flame-grilled him
It’s a very risky thing for politicians to get food in public. We all remember the sandwich that helped unravel Ed Miliband‘s chances of moving into No 10.

Yup, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how this one sandwich caused this entire country to descend into chaos. pic.twitter.com/N4eDkPqXWi— Ian McKenna (@IanTheMckenna) December 12, 2018
It’s even riskier to go to McDonald’s when you’ve been caught claiming to buy an item that was discontinued two years earlier.
Rishi Sunak has said his favourite food to order at McDonald’s is a breakfast wrap which has been off the menu for more than two years https://t.co/KESxPjI3nA

Yet, that’s exactly what Rishi Sunak did – and he ordered the wrap, which has made a return.

We see what he did there.

Burger King took their shot – and it was a doozy.
They flame-grilled him.
Bravo Burger King’s social media team I’m a little surprised he didn’t visit you guys instead as he’s been very fond of telling a few Whoppers during this campaign. You can have that one https://t.co/GNqztR1G7N
