McDonald’s has recently entered the donut arena with their Donut Sticks, and Dunkin’ Donuts was not happy about Ronald McDonald entering their domain.
Dunkin’ Donuts was definitely not impressed with McDonald’s new Donut Sticks. So much so, that they decided to take to Twitter and throw some serious shade their way. On March 4, Dunkin’, with their fingers armed and snazzy comment ready, lobed what may be the first shot of the “donut wars” between these two rival fast food chains.
On the tweet, Dunkin’ sent out a “prototype” of their new donut boxes, which, one may easily point out, looks similar to the Big Mac boxes.
Check out the tweet, below:
What a weird coincidence... @McDonalds came out with Donut Sticks, and we just released the blueprints to our new donut packaging... pic.twitter.com/u2pHWx9yOe

Somewhere, Ronald McDonald is stewing in his house.
Dunkin’, which is in the middle of a brand revamp, pulled no punches toward McDonald’s, who entered their arena with their new Donut Sticks, which has been getting some good reviews from food critics, something that, we suspect, truly annoyed the folks at Dunkin’.
Of course, commenters chimed in on Dunkin’s “sweet and salty” shade toward Micky D’s, with some professing their devotion to the iconic Boston chain:
While others took the time out of their busy schedules to try to rub it in Dunkin’s face that Krispy Kreme, Dunkin’s longtime mortal southern enemy, was better than both:
That's okay, @krispykreme is better than both y'all anyway

And, of course, we couldn’t forget about the folks who got really creative and involved the Queen of Twitter Sass, Wendy’s, into this fight:
So far, as of this writing, McDonald’s has yet to respond to Dunkin’s shade, but if they do, be sure that we will let you know.
