A woman who was already feeling stressed ordered breakfast at the McDonald’s Paya Lebar branch, only to receive a surprise. Instead of the sausage wrap and breakfast deluxe meal she ordered, she received a large plastic bag of cardboard containers for french fries.
And it would have been nice if these packages were full of delicious golden treats—as Ms Belicia, who goes by @illa_nocte on TikTok, would have likely greatly appreciated the stress-reliever.
But no—they were empty, as she showed in a TikTok, now gone viral, on May 9 (Monday).
@illa_nocte i really can’t make this up 😃 can McDonald’s pls explain – is this a collab? 🍟 @mcdonalds #mcdonaldssingapore #mcdonaldsingapore #sgtiktok #idontmakefries #cantrycrystalfries
“feeling stressed over my small biz and house moving and decided to treat myself McDonald’s breakfast and received this instead…????”, she wrote.
She captioned her video, now viewed almost 89,000 times, by writing “i really can’t make this up 😃 can McDonald’s pls explain – is this a collab? 🍟 @mcdonalds #mcdonaldssingapore #mcdonaldsingapore #sgtiktok #idontmakefries #cantrycrystalfries
Is this illa nocte x MCD?????”
The short clip shows hundreds of empty and unused french fry boxes.
Commenters guessed that the rider picked up the wrong package to deliver to Ms Belicia.
Fortunately, when she called McDonald’s, they responded immediately and sent over the correct order, so she could finally have her meal, she told mustsharenews.
She added that the delivery rider who came with her actual order was just as surprised as she was and had no idea how the mix-up occurred.
Illa Nocte is an online store that features crystal carvings, unique statement pieces and jewelry.
This is why a number of crystal-themed comments were made on the post, including those that joked about a McDonald’s-Illa Nocte collaboration.
Luckily, Ms Belicia wrote in one comment that she had woken up with “extra patience” that day and did not get upset with the mix-up.
She, along with other netizens, seemed to have some fun over the incident.
She even joked about the bargain she got, as she only paid S$22.60 and received hundreds of cartons.
Later, McDonald’s Singapore said they sent her a message.
In response to some commenters who begged for a “part 2,” Ms Belicia posted another TikTok of her returning the french fry cartons.
