McDonald’s faces backlash from Australian fans after the fast food house pulled out an April fool joke about their new menu 'McPickle'.

The prank bamboozled many Australian customers who actually went to order the new Pickle Burger. Check out the fake commercial McDonald posted on April Fool's day.
