The Most Epic Tweet Replies From Major Chains

By: Phoebe Hart | Last updated: Nov 12, 2023

Before the advent of social media, companies interacted with their customers through press releases and advertisements. Nonetheless, things have changed as consumers have a new hangout place, the web.

Apart from promoting their products on social media, corporations have to up their humor game, and we must say these big companies haven’t disappointed us. Take a look!

That’s How You Celebrate Father’s Day

If anything, Durex has always been on top of its game when advertising its products. Could there be a better day to promote this product than Father’s Day? The company certainly has super-skilled social media managers who do not disappoint the netizens with such publicity stunts.

We assume it would have been hard for Durex’s competitors to recover from this blow, and we are eagerly waiting to see what comeback the others have.

He Meant in Good Faith

This 101-year-old veteran may have innocently promoted the alcoholic beverage Cold Coors Light, but its competitor wasn’t the one to keep quiet about it. After all, given his age, many would have believed the reason behind his long life is the beverage that he drinks.

So its adversary dropped an equally innocent tweet claiming that the content of Cold Coors Light is mainly water. We don’t know the truth behind these claims, but at least we had a good laugh.   

Think Twice before Messing with Gamestop

One will find a world of trolls on the internet who love to roast others. Such is the case of this individual who tried to make fun of the advertisement that GameStop released for promotion.

We assume this person here wouldn’t have thought the gaming company would give a befitting reply to him. The individual will think twice before commenting the next time.

Calling Out the Fakes

What better way to call out those imitation chicken shops misusing the KFC logo than by publicly bringing it to the attention of its consumers? On the streets of Britain, one would find copycat restaurants that blatantly used names mimicking the food chain’s name.

The problem required fixing, and approaching those eateries wouldn’t have helped, so KFC decided to publish this alphabetized catalog as a silent warning.  

Best Culinary Trash Talk

Being in a big business and having an equally big business being our rival might not be the best feeling. On the contrary, that rivalry can prove to be a delight for everyone else. When the two fast food giants, McDonald’s and Burger King, had their sign boards side by side, everyone stopped to get a good laugh.

While McDonald’s took a genius jibe at Burger King’s name, the latter did not go easy on roasting McDonald’s roasting skills.

A Harsh Way To Learn About Reservations

 It is not new that people are quick to make a judgment about something. This person here named Andrew Pare is the best example. He must have walked into a fancy restaurant at a busy hour and expected to be escorted to a table immediately.

Unfortunately for him, the tables were reserved and he had no idea that one could do that. After leaving a poor review, the restaurant decided to educate him a bit.

This Banter Gets the Trophy

While we have seen quite a few banters between competitors in this list, we can agree that nothing can come remotely close to this masterpiece by Ford and Chevrolet. These huge billboards must have made the drive for people quite entertaining.

In the end, we have to give the edge to Ford. The last response did not really hit the mark. Chevrolet could do better.

A Thief Shouldn’t Accuse Others of Theft

It is very frustrating when someone steals our idea and brands it as their own. When Instagram decided to come up with the reel feature, Tik Tok couldn’t hold back. In a very subtle way, it accused Instagram of stealing the idea.

What’s funny is that soon someone took it upon themselves to remind Tik Tok about the OG in the reel game. Ah, how the tables turn.

We believe the car company had it coming for dragging the game into it from nowhere. Nevertheless, an opportunity presented itself, and the game company showed everyone who the boss was. Getting called a nerd by a gaming page that’s got to hurt.

Don’t get us wrong; we are not picking sides on the food, but they really scored one as far as this skirmish is concerned.

It’s a competitive world out there, and so companies will go to any lengths to establish themselves as superior to their competitors. As much as everyone enjoys a healthy rivalry between the brands, this could have hurt some fans.

Nonetheless, we believe this particular car manufacturer scored a bucket with this one. For their fanbase, this image must feel electrifying.

McDonald’s wasn’t too keen on tackling the tongue-twister that is ‘Frappuccino.’ That’s why they didn’t even bother writing the correct spelling and put Starbucks on blast on the front page of a newspaper!

 Telling readers that they like keeping things simple, unlike the coffeehouse, Mcdonald’s named their drink an Iced Latte. Well, some savvy readers rightly pointed out that a Frappuccino can’t be called a latte.
