Wow did Burger King blow it, bigtime.

International Women’s Day on Monday… they decided to honor women with a tweet that reads “Women belong in the Kitchen”

The tweet from Burger King in the UK riccocheted around the world…. as people smacked their foreheads over the tone-deaf tweet.

Burger King had to write a follow up tweet to explain that what we meant was.

Folks, if you ever post on twitter…  you never want to be in a situation where you have to say “what I meant was.”

In this case… they meant that only about 20% of chefs.. are women.  And Burger King’s committed to empowering its female employees pursue their culinary dreams.

The blowback was so bad that KFC tweeted “delete the entire thing.”

One observant person said… it would have been so easy for Burger King to honor women.  All they had to do was change their name for a day to Burger Queen.

After all… to be a Queen?  What could be better?!

These days the Queen has beef with her grandkids.  And she says… recollections of what happened with Megan vary.  So …its’ possible somebody’s telling … a whopper.
