Burger King trends on BrandGraph and social media after posting an interesting tweet. On Mar 8, 2021, International Women’s Day, Burger King UK tweeted, “Women belong in the kitchen.” The fast-food chain faced backlash immediately after the initial tweet.

The first tweet caused too much damage for the rest of the thread to be accepted. Some social media users thought Burger King’s tweet was a funny communication tactic that certainly got everyone’s attention. Others thought the message was executed in poor taste.
