At this point, Maccas is synonymous with Australian culture. Every Tom, Dick and Harry has a treasured memory made at the homely golden arches.
It’s offered carparks for suburban kids to loiter around when there’s nothing better to do; salty, greasy comfort to all weary souls that have embarked on a rite of passage Maccas run at 4am after kicking on; and a source of nourishment when trekking to to music festivals in regional Victoria. Love it our hate it — it’s been there for us.
From the art deco McDonald’s in Clifton Hill, to the chaos den of George St, there’s so much to celebrate. So we’re taking a look through our favourite, gloriously Australian Maccas tweets of all time.
Kicking things off with a Filet-o-Fish with a side of petty crime:
cute guy came up and asked me for a dart and my number, turns out he literally made bail half an hour ago for breaking into a maccas drunk. He didn’t steal anything, just threw McMuffins at the staff before passing out in the coolroom……….

There’s this one that looks like it came out of an Australiana tweet generator:
Im gin drunk in a maccas at 4am and there are far too many mullets.

Of course, we must reflect on Sydneysiders love letters to the infamous George St Maccas, a godless state, a lawless land:
I’m King Kong around here. I’m the reason George st Maccas has a security guard

Remember when there was a 24 hour Internet cafe in the basement which just made the clientele even more chaotic?

And of course, drunk maccas tweets:

Finally, a very Australian scandal:
