A clip of McDonalds CEO Christopher Kempczinski eating a Big Arch burger has gone viral on TikTok, after being spotted by musician and comedian Garron Noone.
“I’ve just seen a video of the McDonald’s CEO eating McDonald’s, and it’s probably the funniest f**king thing I’ve ever seen in my,” Noone says in a stitched clip.
The vision behind him is that of Kempczinski – a very neat and conservatively dressed man, sitting in front of a McDonald’s meal. “The Big Arch,” the CEO announces, proudly holding up the burger.
“This is something we have tested already – in Germany, Portugal, Canada.”
Noone ‘translates’: “We’ve tested it on the Germans and the Canadians, and now we believe it may even be fit for human consumption.”

Kempczinski keeps referring to the meal as a “product” rather than a meal, leading Noone to surmise, “This man does not eat McDonalds. He looks like he would read the ingredients on the back of a banana.”
The well-intentioned CEO has obviously been asked by his social media department to film this taste test, and really, they should consider paying an actor next time.
As Noone says, watching Kempczinski fumble “the product” to get it into his mouth, “This man doesn’t even know how to fuc**g hold a burger, why did you let him on without any practice? He’d be less uncomfortable if he were holding the fu***g nuclear codes.”
We can’t show you Noone’s clip because it contains perhaps 50% profanity (from him, not the CEO). But here is a clip of the CEO insisting he consumes Maccas three times a week – which is only slightly less funny without Noone’s commentary:

*On a personal note, this writer feels for Kempczinski, as she recalls being forced to try a cake on camera and double-dipping her spoon because she was so nervous about giving them the money shot. They have never let her forget it.
