Phone savvy toddler orders 31 burgers

Barrett (2)

Facebook


A mother in Kingsville, Texas, has learned the hard way that she should not leave her phone unattended with her little boy.

Her two-year-old son got hungry and managed to access the food delivery app last week and ordered 31 burgers from McDonald’s.

He was also a very good tipper and left a R250 tip for the delivery driver on top of the order, which cost the equivalent of R1 400.

The child's mother, Kelsy Burkhalter Golden, good-naturedly saw the light side of life and posted on Facebook that she had 31 free cheeseburgers from McDonald's if anyone is interested.

She also shared a photograph of her son Barrett, who is still in nappies, proudly holding a Mcdonald's burger with a pile of neatly wrapped burgers stacked up next to him.

Her post elicited thousands of responses and also caught the attention of local TV networks as well as a TV network in Australia.

The McDonald's in Kingsville which made Barrett's 31 cheeseburgers also invited him to a meet and greet, which by all accounts, went down a treat.
