Let’s hope Balenciaga doesn’t get too salty over this one.
Earlier this month, the folks in charge of McDonald’s Sweden’s Instagram account appeared to be trolling the Spanish fashion house over a pair shoes Balenciaga debuted in 2018, likening the footwear to McDonald’s fry cartons.
In the post, a person can be seen modeling the fry boxes on his/her feet, while the caption jokes that, if the picture gets enough “likes,” McDonald’s Sweden will start actually producing them.

“Just copped them new Balenciaga,” one user wrote, sharing a photo of a fry box on his foot.
"I wear 14s. Can you bring back the super-sized?” another joked, per The Sun.
