Man Places McDonald's Order—Not Prepared for Who He Sees Is Delivering It
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A man has gone viral for the simple act of ordering McDonald's on delivery, for a hilarious reason. Richard Hagen, 31, a content creator from Bay City, Michigan, often posts food and hospitality-related clips to his Instagram and Threads accounts, @richardeats_. But while his usual posts show him cooking up a storm, he recently decided to take a break from the kitchen and order takeout. Hagen opted for McDonald's, and all appeared to be going smoothly—until he took a look at the name of the person who would be delivering his food. That person? Ronald. As Hagen told Newsweek: "My wife and I ordered a DoorDash for a sweet treat from McDonald's and as soon as the dasher populated, I got a notification that 'Ronald' was on his way to pick up the order from McDonald's."

Threads @richardeats_ "I instantly screenshotted and posted because it's hilarious," Hagen added—and internet users absolutely agreed. "Being delivered by the man himself?" he joked in a post to Threads on August 14, where it has so far racked up more than 42,000 likes. And users flocked to the comment to keep the joke going, with one writing that at least it wasn't "the hamburglar. I never got my food at all!" "I'd tip him more if he walks out as the clown," another posted. In a comment, Hagen said that this particular Ronald McDonald "drives a Kia Sedan," which caused more hilarity. One poster replied: "I was expecting a bike with one big wheel and one little wheel." And another shared an image of a special red-and-yellow McDonald's car, in the shape of a giant red clown show, with a golden arches dashboard and laces running up the trunk, writing: "Your dasher."

Gado/Getty Images McDonald's started in 1940 as brothers Dick and Mac McDonald began what would become one of the largest fast-food restaurants in the world, with the first official McDonald's opening in 1955. There are currently over 36,000 McDonald's restaurants in more than 100 countries, according to the company's website. And, for a time, the clown character Ronald McDonald was as iconic as the food itself. Hagen told Newsweek he didn't make any obvious joke to the dasher, as the food was delivered and left on his porch. However, he added that he has enjoyed going viral for the simple screenshot, calling the responses "hilarious." "It's funny that we spend hours creating content online, and the post that goes viral this month is just [that] a man named Ronald delivered our DoorDash from McDonald's," Hagen said. "It fell into my lap so perfectly that I had to post it. It shows there's beauty in the simple, everyday things that can make people laugh!"
