McDonald’s appears to be playing bait-and-switch with pie lovers across the country. The fast-food chain, which has had apple pie on its menu for years, recently resurrected its less beloved pumpkin pie for fall, and several customers have said they’ve been served pumpkin pie after ordering the apple variety.
Fast food restaurants on Twitter can be totally savage, and no one is safe! Though the likes of Wendy’s, Taco Bell, Burger King and other food-centric Twitter accounts have be known to lob insults at one another every now and again, it turns out that regular people and yes, even celebrities, aren’t immune to a […]
While some are pleased to see the gourd-filled pastry return to McDonald’s (it was previously on the menu in 2011 and again in 2015) others prefer the American classic, and are peeved the restaurant is seemingly trying to push another dessert on them, especially since the apple pies are just about universally loved.
Though the pie mix-ups could be purely accidental, a lot of people are reporting McDonald’s is getting its pie orders all mixed up. Check out the bevy of furious tweets below:

I need 5000 more,” one fan tweeted. Added another: “I just had a pumpkin pie at McDonald’s and it was by far the best pumpkin pie I ever had.”
The big reveal is finally here! After assessing the bathroom and kitchen in actress Melissa Fumero’s Los Angeles home, design expert Nate Berkus has made a series of “easy updates” to both spaces in an effort to add character and align them more with Fumero’s worldly style, and now it’s time for her to see […]
