5 Breaking News In Fast Food Chains From Last Week

3. BTS meal caused McDonald's stores to close in this country

McDonald's latest meal collaboration with South Korean pop group BTS was a huge success in the United States. It was reported as being responsible for the biggest spike in weekly foot traffic at the burger chain this year and has caused fan mania in dozens of other countries where it was released.

In Indonesia, the meal was too popular for local restaurants to handle, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). More than a dozen McDonald's locations in Jakarta and other cities were temporarily shut down due to a surge of delivery drivers picking up the coveted order. The country is still battling high rates of COVID-19 and the closures were meant to prevent a surge in new cases.
