Everyone knows that you can't believe anything you hear or read on April Fool's Day, as there's always a risk it could be a wind up. But McDonald's has managed to spark fury with its 2023 prank, with some saying the fast food chain went too far.
The Australian announced a new menu item yesterday - the McFry - causing a huge amount of excitement among fans.
The convincing picture showed a beef patty burger with fries stuffed inside, so you don't have to do it yourself.
"The ultimate Mac-hack now comes made to order, as we take the classic Quarter Pounder and stack it with Australia's fave fries", the post on the brand's Instagram page read.
"No mess. No fuss. No worries. We've made it so you don't have to! Get your hands on the McFry today."
The burger giant even partnered with a well-known Melbourne food blogger, Ange Eats, who could be seen tucking into the new burger.
He claimed: "The well-known hack we all know and love has just hit the menu in McDonald's in Australia.
"Fries inside, we've got beef, cheese, onions, pickles, tomato sauce. It looks mega."

But despite thinking the new addition was a bit straight, fans loved the idea and many were extremely disappointed to learn they wouldn't be able to order one in their local branch.
Some went as far as to beg McDonald's to make it a real thing to make up for the upset.
Would you eat the McFry? Let us know in the comments.
"I'd actually eat this Macca's, don’t play with me", one frustrated Aussie wrote, whilst another fumed: "This actually looks good.
Someone else said: "This isn't even a funny joke because it's what we all want. Been doing it ourselves for years."
And this isn't the first time that McDonald's has left people fuming, as the burger giant caused a stir with the McPickle in 2019.
The fake two-layered burger was filled with pickles and topped with cheese and tomato sauce - but alas, it also wasn't real, and people were furious, with one commenting on their Instagram: "Omfg if this is an April Fool's joke imma be mad."
