It's not Star Wars anymore, it's Brand Wars!
Here are the Iconic Wars till now.
McDonald's and KFC
KFC stole McDonald's biggest Show!! McDonald's Canada launched the much-anticipated Chicken Big Mac and announced it on Twitter. Soon enough, KFC posted its own version of the Big Mac, with the words: FIXED IT. They even went as far as tagging McDonald's on the post. Ouch. But the real Zinger was these billboards. They sent trucks advertising 'the fix' right in front of McDonald's stores to steal their thunder.
Chat GPT Joins the War
McDonald's was quick to hop on to the Chat GPT rage, but Burger King was quicker to leverage it to their own benefit. And then Subway joined the stage.
