They have the most basic McDonald’s ever,” she said, prompting audible laughter from Cuneta.</p><p>Re-posting the clip on July 30, Pangilinan observed, in jest, that she “spoke more words in this video than I have the entirety of self-isolation,” referring to the pandemic quarantine.</p><p>“I’ve never been more irritated at myself,” she added.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">When I first saw this video of <a href="https://twitter.com/kakiep83?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@kakiep83</a> ranting about Mcdonald’s in the US not having chicken mcdo, I knew I had to recreate it. <a href="https://t.co/RTe70jwwes">pic.twitter.com/RTe70jwwes</a></p>— japh (@japhethreside) <a href="https://twitter.com/japhethreside/status/1292448169222012929?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 9, 2020</a></blockquote><div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>Then, on Sunday, Twitter user @japethreside shared his TikTok video showing him reciting the entirety of Pangilinan’s rant, synchronized with the actual video playing on a laptop.
