As reported, the U.K. restaurant of global fast-food giant Burger King tweeted, «Trying to convince my manager to let me have an office doge» while it made a rather unusual request in reaction to a crypto user’s tweet, «We need doge.»

Members of the Dogecoin community commented on the tweet, and a user expressed disappointment, citing the «Grimacecoin» experience.

Early last year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted that he would eat a Happy Meal on the TV if fast food giant McDonald’s started accepting Dogecoin as payment. McDonald’s seemingly backed away from the offer by tweeting that it will accept Dogecoin if Tesla accepts «Grimacecoin.»

Another user tweeted that Burger King had just spawned an imaginary coin into existence, while other users urged it to accept Dogecoin.

In the week, Ralph Lauren announced it would be accepting crypto payments in its new Miami store through BitPay, which supports cryptocurrencies including Dogecoin.
