Within 24 hours, the tweet had over 10,000 likes, 1200 retweets, and 5600 hysterical replies to the prompt. So hysterical, in fact, that it led to these consequent tweets from Fred Delicious:

When I was in my early 20’s I worked at a gas station and a man paid with his credit card so I needed to check his ID. His name was Ronald McDonald and I laughed in his face. He was not as happy as the food clown one.
