McDonald’s CEO Downplays Viral ‘Big Arch’ Bite in WSJ Interview

He calls the attention a marketing win for the Big Arch launch.

Overview

  • Chris Kempczinski used a Wall Street Journal interview to address the clip and said the buzz helped McDonald’s new Big Arch burger.
  • He said he took a tiny bite because his mother taught him not to talk with his mouth full.
  • He rejected online rumors that he is a vegetarian.
  • The Instagram reel drew mockery for a small bite, stiff delivery, and calling the burger a “product,” and it has topped 16 million views.
  • Rivals leaned in, with Burger King’s CEO posting a big-bite Whopper video, showing how executive posts now fuel fast-food marketing jousts.
