RocoMamas vs McDonald's: Their latest beef got so cheesy
Beef or chilli cheese fries anyone? SA fast-food joint RocoMamas has accused fast-food giant McDonald's of biting its idea - again.
It all started with a tweet, where McDonald's was promoting its new chilli cheese fries. Translated, the tweet reads: "You call yourself an independent lady but you can't afford to spoil yourself with chilli cheese fries, how babes?"

An observant social media user noticed the similarities of the McDonald's fries to those of RocoMama's and asked if the fast-food joint had "died".

Responding to the questions, RocoMamas asked McDonald's if it was looking for something else to copy.

They could have just asked nicely. We've have politely said no, but ask anyway 😊. Manners are important. https://t.co/B8f54THk52
