When a Rat Made a Surprise Entrance at McDonald’s
Picture this: you’re at McDonald’s in Ang Mo Kio, enjoying a sizzling tray of potato sticks, and out of nowhere— a live rat skitters onto your table. That’s exactly what happened last Wednesday (Sept 12) and it rocked the local Twitter feed.
The Tik‑Tock Moment
Melissa Mellysa captured the whole chaos on her phone and fed it straight to Twitter. The clip shows the whiskered intruder darting across the table, as if it was auditioning for a crime movie. Her tweet? “Just got a rat dropping onto my fries from the ceiling while I was eating.”
The video has racked up more than 27,000 views and over 1,500 RTs by Thursday night, a testament to how diners love a bit of ‘wild’ real‑time news.
McDonald’s Response
- Immediate action: A McDonald’s spokesperson confirmed the incident at the Ang Mo Kio Central location and said they had hired an external pest‑control team to swoop in, trap the rat, and scrub the place down.
- Hygiene check‑up: The chain reminded us that they run rigorous cleaning routines and routine inspections—just last month the last scheduled check on Aug 30 cleared everything.
- Customer reassurance: “We treat all feedback regarding our restaurant quality very seriously,” the spokesman added, promising that the standards will stay high.
