Every social media editor’s nightmare came true on Black Friday when McDonald’s official account accidentally posted an in-process tweet:
Black Friday **** Need copy and link****

Twitter users immediately responded to the cringe-worthy tweet:

McDonald’s is every #blogger trying to get together a guide for Black Friday without knowing all the #BlackFriday deals yet. https://t.co/2xQcnqYtYl

Even Wendy’s took the chance to throw some shade:

Some people started debating whether the botched tweet had actually been planned the whole time.
But McDonald’s managed to save themselves in a perfect way:
