“That’s Insane”: McDonald’s Customers Fume Over Viral Satanic Happy Meals With Baphomet Toys

Satanic panic has taken over the world of fast food after pictures of devil-themed McDonald’s Happy Meals with Baphomets “offered” to little consumers started circulating last month. The diabolical marketing scheme has stirred massive hysteria on social media, but some swore it was all fake.

Taking to the McDonaldsEmployee Reddit community on Friday (19 April), a user recalled working a bizarre shift at the fast food chain when they had to deal with a female customer enquiring about a “toy.”

Highlights
  • Satanic panic erupted over McDonald's Happy Meals with Baphomet toys going viral.
  • A McDonald's employee debunked the fake satanic toy story after a customer inquiry.
  • Social media was left divided by hoaxed McDonald's satanic toys.

The Redditor further explained: “She pulls up a video of a ‘manager’ talking about a satanic toy being sold and an obviously fake picture shows up of a burger with a black bun next to a demonic statue.”

    As per the McDonald’s staffer, he told the woman that the pictures were fake and that his team had never heard of “any news regarding this.”

    The employee continued: “She says she’s relieved because she [is] Christian and that these will bring bad vibes to people’s homes.

    “I report this to the other managers and try to find the original vid on Spanish TikTok.

    “Lo and behold, it’s just another fake TikTok trend spreading fear and lies.”

    Along with his post, the worker shared some screenshots showcasing Spanish-speaking TikTok videos, all appearing under the trending “Mcdonald’s Juguete Satanico” topic, which means “McDonald’s satanic toy.”

    Despite devilish McDonald’s meal deals sparking outrage on social media, particularly by people who feared some sort of satanic takeover, others found the whole hellish saga amusing, as a Redditor commented: “Kinda want a Baphomet burger now like that goes hard af.”

    Baphomet, a goat-human figure, is a symbol of balance in various occult and mystical traditions, the origin of which some occultists have attempted to link with the Gnostics and Templars, although it is occasionally purported to be a deity or a demon, Zrinka Stahuljak wrote in Pornographic Archaeology.

    “Damn, where can I get one?” a Reddit user asked, to which the original poster replied: “Tell an AI to generate one for you.”

    Someone else penned: “Jokes on them My branch doesn’t have any update on our calendar of ever selling those anytime soon.”

    Last month, someone had already taken to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share a sinister photograph of what appeared to be an infernal Baphomet Happy Meal.

    It is unclear how the demonic McDonald’s first emerged, but pictures of the infernal cuisine have quickly become a viral internet sensation, with thousands of people still making commentary videos and social media content expressing their worries.

    I find it hilarious how so many folks freak out over such stupid things yet have no problem with the actual evil that organized religion perpatrates against folks. Last time I checked Baphomet wasn't the one SAing children. Last time I checked Lucifer wasn't the one discriminating against the LGBTQ+ community and calling down violence against them. Last time I checked Beelzebub wasn't stripping women of their body autonomy.

    My thoughts exactly. If they're so keen to "battle the forces of evil," there is plenty enough to do in the REAL world.

    Believing in dragons, goblins, faeries, and elves is generally seen as a sign of insanity. But people who believe in devils, demons, and angels are, for some reason, not called out for their ridiculous religions.

    I'm despairing at the fact that there is apparently people in this world that are so bloody stupid that they think that a) this clearly ai generated image is real and b) that satanism is the evil one.

    The Big 3 religions have brought more bad vibes to people's homes than Satanism... If I have to deal with other people's holiness, I can deal with other people's unholiness.
