The video received 735,645 views and a slightly snarky rejection from McDonald&#8217;s.</div><div><a href="https://youtu.be/DsaUuIj6Xb0?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-5-most-viral-franchise-brand-videos-of-2015-2997" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/DsaUuIj6Xb0</a></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><strong>McDonald&#8217;s: Our food.
