A customer’s unconventional McDonald’s order for a burger “with everything removed” resulted in a delivery that was as literal as it gets: an empty box.

Greg, the Doordash customer in the US behind the viral prank, detailed his experiment on X, where his post garnered a staggering 53 million views.

“I ordered a triple cheeseburger with everything removed,” Greg wrote, alongside a screenshot of his order, which amusingly listed “no ketchup,” “no pickle,” “no diced onions,” “no 1/10 Lb beef,” “no mustard,” “no regular bun,” “no American Cheese,” and “no salt.” The total cost of this nothing burger? $5.39.

As anticipation built, Greg shared a follow-up post joking, “Hopefully they don’t mess up my order (usually they do).” The anticipation peaked when his delivery driver, Dan, sent a message confirming the odd order. “You’re gonna get an empty box…you good with that?” Dan asked. Greg's response was simple, “Perfect, thank you.”

However, Greg’s humour remained intact. He rewarded Dan with a five-star review and a generous $11 tip, pushing the total cost of the empty meal close to $20. This act led one X user to comment, “This is hilarious! Thank you for the laugh.” Another user said, “20 USD for an empty box. Crazy!!!”

Beyond the laughs, some saw the stunt as a subtle critique of rising fast food prices. Recent reports indicate that McDonald’s menu prices have surged over 100% in the last decade, outpacing the rate of US inflation threefold.

While it remains uncertain if Greg intended his prank as a pointed commentary, the viral “nothing burger” continues to be raging success in the world of pranks.
