How the Burger King meeting went before *that* tweet
You probably spotted Burger King’s International Women’s Day self-sabotage as it trended on social media for hours, triggering an avalanche of jokes and more serious condemnations.
Here’s their now – understandably – deleted tweet.
The fact that they followed it up with news of a programme to support more women into chef positions in their company was very much lost in the outcry over the bad joke.
It got exactly the reactions you’d expect.

“…the same way you always read the article after reading the headline.”
We loved it – and so did these tweeters.

I’m totally here for Clunky attempts at gender related satire and for extremely awkward long comedy pauses. Brilliant! As Ever.

Kazuma Taichi shared this very believable theory.
I certainly believe the most accurate element of this parody is that it is a discussion that happened with only men at the table
