McDonald's Responds To Elon Musk’s Request To Accept Dogecoin
Fast-food giant McDonald’s appears to be facing backlash after its recent response to Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Per earlier reports, the billionaire asked the Chicago-headquartered corporation to accept Dogecoin. In return, he promised to eat its Happy Meal on television.
McDonald’s has seemingly backed away from the offer by tweeting that it will accept Dogecoin if Tesla accepts “Grimacecoin.” The name of the made-up crypto was inspired by Grimace, a purple anthropomorphic creature that started appearing in McDonald’s commercials in the early 1970s.
It intended to be a mean-looking character with four arms, which would steal kids’ milkshakes. However, Roy Bergold, McDonald's creative officer, told QSR Magazine that “Evil Grimace” had turned out to be a failure because it was too scary for kids.
Just minutes after the McDonald’s tweet, someone created a token called “Grimacecoin” on Binance Smart Chain that pumped more than 261,000% within hours before erasing its share of its gains. Due to the low barrier to entry, BSC has become a hotbed for quick pump-and-dump projects.
The Dogecoin community was largely dissatisfied with the response. Many pointed to the fact that it took the company’s marketing team over 10 hours to come up with such an offer. Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus commented that the Grimacecoin tweet was a textbook example of how to make something fun unfunny.
Glauber Contessoto, who made headlines as a self-proclaimed “Dogecoin millionaire” last year, tweeted that the restaurant chain had “fumbled an incredible opportunity for a terrible joke.”
DOGE Price Is Expected To Reach These Levels
Looking at the Dogecoin price chart, we can see that DOGE has registered a significant increase during the ongoing session and is up by nearly 6%. If the current sentiment persists, we could see DOGE push to $0.155 or push even further to the 20-day SMA at $0.158.
